There has for years been much wishful thinking about the SDF's prospects among those in Brussels and Washington who sympathise with the KCK/PYD brand of Kurdish nationalism that has not helped SDF leaders arrive at a more realistic understanding of the post-2024 balance of power in Syria

The YPG is basically just an Ocalanist cult really. Sure its nationalist and larps vaguely old Marxist stuff because that was the rage in the '60-80's when Ocalan grew to prominence

There is just not much state project to it. Its a party/personal cult down to sexual grooming of young girls

Lastly Öcalan, in prison since 1999, last year decided the dissolution of his party and its armed wing and endorsed Erdoğan and his neo-fascist coalition partners. (Formally this needed approval from party institutions which complied immediately)
