Anarchists call us anarchists, Marxist-Leninists call us Marxist-Leninists and the list is endless. We, the Kurdish socialist resistance, are none of these things. We are socialists but we have our own take on socialism rooted in our experiences and culture. We reserve our right to have our own take on socialism.

We appreciate support from all sections of socialism but I can not help but think some have their own agenda. Labeling us as what you think we are based on your own fantasy is nothing short of chauvinism and imperialism.

Of course we have partisans fighting in the YPG/YPJ and other armed socialist Kurdish groups who are anarchists, Marxist-Leninists and other tendencies. As a whole though our movement is based on our own take of socialism, let us have that or leave us alone.
