[Marxism] anti-imperialism and solidarity in Australia

There's a vibrant debate going on over at Facebook among Australian
comrades about what approach to take toward Kobani. It mirrors debates
elsewhere over Syria as a whole, with the two positions being solidarity
with the Kurds against IS, versus a strictly anti-intervention stance.

I am not suggesting we replay that debate (with way over a hundred comments
as of now) here, but if the comrades think any new points have been made
not raised in earlier parallel debates, or if its reappearance on this
front sheds any light on the original question, please share.

Can you share the link? I probably won't join in, but am interested in
seeing what's been said.

Surely that's not an alternative: solidarity with the Kurds against IS (and 
against Turkey, backed by the US) as a matter of self-defense is compatible 
with a demand for US withdrawal from the region, and the submission of the 
matter to the UNSC, in accord with the UN Charter.
