‘It’s not important whether you are communist, anarchist or socialist, the truth is that in Europe we only really “play revolution”, we have these “pub revolutions” and these small wars between anarchists and communists; all that is useless and it creates nothing. If we stay too closed minded about our own ideas, we will construct nothing. This revolution here [ in Rojava and Bakur] is neither communist nor anarchist, but it is a good revolution.’
