Podcasts about rojava

Episode Notes This week on Live Like the World is Dying, we have a crossover episode with the Strangers in a Tangled Wilderness Podcast, with our monthly feature zine Martyr Culture by Sara Blum., which is an essay about martyr culture within the Kurdish Freedom Movement. We have an audio version of the zine as well as an interview with Sara about the piece and her time with the YPJ. But, if you'd like to read along then check out our monthly features on our website and you can read along there for free. You can also get a physical copy of our monthly feature zine, but unfortunately not this one, by signing up for our Patreon . Our June feature was generously provided by Sara Blum, an internationalist who spent several years with the YPJ in Rojava, to accompany and contextualize our newest book, Orso: Wartime Journals of an Anarchist, which is currently available for preorder as of right now at tangledwilderness.org, and will be regularly available/ship out in early-mid July.  Orso contains the first-person narrative of Lorenzo Orso Orsetti–also known as Heval (he-vawl) Tekoser (teko-cher) Piling (pih-ling), now Sehid (sheh-heath) Tekoser (teko-cher) or “martyr Tekoser–an internationalist soldier in Rojava. This journal was published in its original Italian following Oro's death. We're excited to bring you the first English edition, which includes additional essays that share the historical and cultural context in which Orso lived, fought, and died. We're excited to bring his message to a new audience. The struggle against Daesh for an autonomous, liberated region in Rojava is bigger than one person, but one person's life can offer us a glimpse of a vast project and how one life can fit into it. Sara's essay helps build a backdrop for the world Orso gives us a glimpse of in his journals. This is part one of this episode, as the interview with Sara ended up being quite long. Tune in in 2 weeks for the second half of the interview, as next week is This Month in the Apocalypse on Live Like the World is Dying. We won't get to it until the second half of the interview, but the word of the month this month is about those who are mindful.  Publisher This podcast is published by Strangers In A Tangled Wilderness.

Robert Krieg hat für seinen aktuellen Dokumentarfilm Frauen im Norden Syriens begleitet. Dabei ist er auf eine Welt "voller leiser, revolutionärer Kraft" gestoßen. Und die macht Hoffnung inmitten des bewaffneten Konflikts. Moderation: Ralph Erdenberger Von WDR 5.

In a world that rewards urgency, overwork, and perfectionism, what does it look like to return to ourselves—not through punishment, but through presence?This week, I share a personal story of falling out of alignment with my commitments—not from malice, but from fear, fatigue, and scarcity. I reflect on what it took to course-correct, to soften instead of self-judge, and to rebuild a rhythm rooted in integrity, self-trust, and care.I also explore examples from around the globe—stories of individuals and communities who are embodying integrity in the face of oppression, not through performance, but by building relationships, refusing silence, and staying aligned with their values even when the cost is high.Featured Stories in This Episode:Afro-German communities building self-sustaining infrastructure instead of relying on state validation.Saudi feminist scholar Hatoon al-Fassi, who risked imprisonment to hold truth to power through ancestral knowledge.Kurdish women in Rojava, co-creating democratic, feminist societies rooted in daily reflection and radical interdependence.Chicago's Black Youth Project 100, resisting performative allyship and investing in mutual aid rooted in “We take care of us.”Crown Heights Mutual Aid created multilingual hotlines, raised funds, distributed rent relief, and built lasting infrastructure.Each of these stories asks: What does it mean to stay rooted in your values when the pressure is to conform, perform, or disappear?Reflection Prompts: These are invitations to sit with, not solve. You don't need to write your way through them. You might take them on a walk. Move with them in your body. Breathe with them in silence. Let them live in you, in whatever way you need this week.Where in my life do I feel out of alignment with my commitments—not out of malice, but out of fear, fatigue, or uncertainty?What would it feel like, in my body, to return to integrity—not as a performance, but as a practice of self-trust?How can I hold myself with tenderness and accountability at the same time, the way a gardener both prunes and protects?https://www.transmutingwhitesupremacyandpatriarchy.com/ → Subscribe to the newsletter for weekly reflections like these → Learn more about the Cultivating Intersectional Leadership course → Follow along on Instagram and LinkedIn for more practices, invitations, and community conversationsLet's Stay in Practice—Together: This work isn't meant to be done alone.

In today's episode we talk with Alexis Daloumis about his documentary Belkî Sibê. The doc shows his experiences fighting in the International Freedom Battalion during 2017 as part of the Syrian Democratic Forces against ISIS, and the socio-political changes in the liberated areas. We talk with Alexis about the actual real way that the revolution is being implemented on the ground, from what he could tell as an outsider. In the second part we focus on the filming and editing process of the documentary. ===== Re(Sources): Belki Sibe (2023) http://belkisibe.com/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt29341560/ Alexis Daloumis https://www.instagram.com/alexisdaloumis/ https://linktr.ee/alexisdaloumis International Freedom Battalion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Freedom_Battalion Rojava Information Center (RIC) https://rojavainformationcenter.org/ Art by Grecu Music Le Daye, by Alexandros Miaris feat.

Tras la caída de Bashar al Assad, Siria inicia un complejo proceso de reconstrucción. El gobierno de transición enfrenta el reto de consolidar la paz, mientras más de un millón de refugiados regresan con esperanza. Sin embargo, la fragmentación sectaria, el papel de Rojava y las cicatrices de la guerra ponen a prueba el futuro del país.

In the north east of the country, in a territory called Rojava, a feminist socialist revolution has been ongoing for since 2012. Then a few weeks ago, Abdullah Öcalan, a Kurdish leader who […]

Depuis la chute de Bachar Al-Assad, le dialogue entre les Kurdes syriens et le gouvernement de transition semblait mal engagé. Et pourtant, lundi soir, ils se sont mis d'accord. La présidence syrienne, qui cherche à unifier un pays divisé par treize ans de guerre civile, a annoncé un accord pour « intégrer » au sein de l'Etat toutes les institutions civiles et militaires relevant de l'administration autonome kurde, située dans le nord-est de la Syrie.Signé par le président par intérim, Ahmed Al-Charaa, et le chef des Forces démocratiques syriennes, dominées par les Kurdes, Mazloum Abdi, cet accord intervient alors que la Syrie a connu ces derniers jours ses pires violences depuis la chute de l'ancien président, en décembre.Que contient cet accord historique ? Quel avenir Ahmed Al-Chaara réserve-t-il aux Kurdes installés dans le nord-est de la Syrie ? Et comment la minorité kurde avait-elle réussi à obtenir son autonomie dans ce territoire ? Dans cet épisode du podcast « L'Heure du Monde », Ghazal Golshiri, journaliste au service International du Monde et envoyée spéciale dans le Rojava, répond à toutes ces questions.Un épisode de Garance Muñoz. Réalisation : Quentin Tenaud. Présentation et rédaction en chef : Claire Leys. Dans cet épisode : extraits de discours d'Ahmed Al-Charaa, le 25 février 2025 ; d'une archive INA du 14 avril 1991 ; d'une archive de France 3 du 22 janvier 2015.Cet épisode a été publié le 12 mars 2025.---Pour soutenir "L'Heure du Monde" et notre rédaction, abonnez-vous sur abopodcast.lemonde.fr Hébergé par Audion.

12/03/2025 - South Stream S03E08. Con Dylan Di Chiara e Paco Amendola. Questa settimana ci troviamo ad affrontare numerosi argomenti, a partire dai colloqui in Arabia Saudita tra Ucraina e Stati Uniti, con la proposto di un cessate il fuoco di 30 giorni. Rimanendo in tema bellico analizziamo il programma da 800 miliairdi Rearm Europe approvato ieri al Parlamento Europeo e le posizioni delle diverse forze politiche in merito. Ci spostiamo poi in medioriente per parlare del piano elaborato dai paesi arabi per Gaza in risposta alla proposta di Donald Trump e in Siria, dove oltre 1200 persone di etnia Alawita sono state massacrate da milizie vicine al governo, fresco di accordo diplomatico trovato con le Forze Democratiche Siriane del Rojava. Infine diamo uno sguardo alle ultime evoluzioni della guerra dei dazi portata avanti dagli Stati Uniti d'America, al congresso del partito liberale canadese che ha appena eletto segretario Mark Carney e alle elezioni groenlandesi appena vinte dal partito Democratico di centro destra. Come sempre ci trovare su www.radioshamal.it e sul nostro canale Spotify. Buon ascolto!

I detta avsnitt pratar vi med Andreas från Rojavakommittéerna. I media har rapporterats att Öcalan tillåtits göra ett uttalande, där han pratar om att PKK bör överge den väpnade kampen, men vad sas egentligen i uttalandet, och vad innebär det? Vad är Erdogans avsikter bakom detta? Endel kan vi veta, men mycket blir också spekulationer.På […]

This podcast is a recording of a December 13, 2024 live reading and Q&A session conducted by our friend James Stout. James is one of the foremost investigative journalists working today in the foreign policy arena, reporting on things like the civil war in Myanmar against the military junta, and on migration through the Darien Gap. In this presentation, James reads a chapter from his forthcoming book Against the State and takes questions about Rojava, revolution, and antifascism. Also during this event, James and Yellow Peril Tactical were able to raise almost $650 for the Kurdish Red Crescent (Heyva Sor a Kurd) and Tekoşîna Anarşîst, anarchist internationalists currently fighting in AANES against Turkish-funded forces.We look forward to sharing more ways to support the struggle in Rojava on YPT this year!Listen to James Stout on the It Could Happen Here Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/it-could-happen-here/id1449762156 Follow James on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/jamesstout.bsky.socialFollow James on Twitter: https://x.com/jamesstoutFollow us on Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/yellow_peril_tactical⁠ Follow us on Twitter: ⁠https://twitter.com/yptactual⁠ Follow us on BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/yptactual.bsky.social Support our Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/yellow_peril_tactical

On Syria, the fall of Assad, and nationalism in the Middle-East. [Patreon Exclusive] Historian Djene Bajalan talks to Alex about a major rearrangement in the Levant. We discuss: Who are Syria's new rulers HTS, and what is their vision – if any? Did geopolitics really determine the fall of Assad and the Ba'ath Party? How HTS's victory is so profoundly different from Islamism in Iran 1979 Why 2025 finally closes the book on the Arab Spring – and on secular Arab nationalism Were the Kurds wrong to rely on US protection? And in the full episode we continue by discussing... Is Turkey the big winner of the decade? What the Left gets wrong on nationalism Civic versus ethnic nationalism, revisited What was democratic, liberal and revolutionary about nationalism – and whether it can be again How conservatives recuperate left-wing ideas, which were always conservative from the start Links: Djene's writing at Jacobin /95/ The Fall of Rojava? ft.

Le retour chez eux est-il possible pour les Kurdes de Syrie réfugiés au Kurdistan irakien voisin ? Ils sont 300 000 à y vivre depuis plus de dix ans, dans des camps pour la plupart. Soulagés par la chute du régime de Bachar el-Assad, ces réfugiés sont néanmoins inquiets de la place qui sera faite aux Kurdes dans une Syrie en gestation. Tandis que des tractations politiques intenses ont lieu pour définir les contours que pourrait y prendre l'autonomie kurde. Ayaz, 29 ans, fait défiler les pages d'un album qu'il garde précieusement au fond d'une armoire. « Ce sont nos photos de famille. Ces albums sont les souvenirs qui nous restent de la Syrie et que nous avons pu emporter avec nous. C'est la seule chose qui nous relie à la Syrie. Avec la guerre, il y avait deux options : devenir un meurtrier ou bien se faire tuer. J'ai pris la meilleure décision ou en tout cas la plus sûre, celle de quitter la Syrie. »Son exode le conduit de l'autre côté de la frontière, dans le camp de réfugiés de Kawergosk, au Kurdistan irakien. Dix ans ont passé et les tentes de plastique ont laissé place à des maisons de parpaings. Si les 1 800 familles kurdes syriennes qui vivent là ont célébré la chute du régime de Bachar el-Assad le 8 décembre dernier, aucune ne s'est empressée de prendre le chemin du retour. « Bien sûr que je vais rentrer, nous n'allons pas rester ici. Mais pour l'instant, la situation est trop mauvaise en Syrie, explique Ayaz. Je ne veux y retourner que si l'on construit un État civil et décentralisé, qui protège les droits de toutes les communautés syriennes, c'est-à-dire des Kurdes et de toutes les autres minorités. Il faut une protection constitutionnelle de nos droits, qui ne soit pas seulement des mots, mais qui se traduisent par des faits. »Ces attentes sont largement partagées par ces réfugiés. Mais pour les faire entendre aux nouvelles autorités à Damas, les factions politiques kurdes doivent afficher un front uni. Or, les habitants du camp ne se sentent pas représentés par les milices au pouvoir au Kurdistan syrien, réputées proches du Parti des travailleurs du Kurdistan, en guerre contre la Turquie.Accoudé à son échoppe de vêtements, Alan-Walid a justement quitté la Syrie à 14 ans, de peur d'être enrôlé contre son gré. « Dans les régions kurdes de Syrie, le parti politique en charge opère un recrutement forcé. Mais nous ne souhaitons pas nous battre pour un parti politique ou une idéologie. Nous souhaitons nous battre pour les Kurdes. Si les parties parviennent à s'unir, alors nous rentrerons nous battre pour la cause kurde, pour le Rojava », clame-t-il.Depuis plusieurs jours, les promesses de discussions vont bon train entre ces milices qui administrent le Kurdistan syrien et l'opposition, principalement exilée, en Irak. Cependant, pour cette jeune femme croisée dans l'allée principale du camp, ces négociations ne suffiront pas à la faire rentrer chez elle. « Si nous retournons en Syrie, nous n'aurons plus rien. Nous finirons à la rue. Ici, au moins, nous possédons une maison, nous vivons au jour le jour. Je sais qu'il faudrait encore dix ans à la Syrie pour se reconstruire et revenir à la situation antérieure à la guerre. Et peut-être que ça n'arrivera jamais », soupire-t-elle.Au-delà de ces tractations politiques fragiles, les bombardements turcs et les combats entre les forces kurdes syriennes et les mercenaires soutenus par la Turquie se poursuivent. La situation sécuritaire reste trop instable pour permettre aux réfugiés de Kawergosk d'envisager un retour.À lire aussiSyrie: les civils pris en étau par les affrontements entre les forces kurdes et les pro-turcs

Der Politikwissenschaftler Rasim Marz über die Angriffe der Türkei auf die syrischen Kurden. Ein Podcast vom Pragmaticus. Das Thema:„Was wir derzeit erleben, ist die Aufteilung des Nahen Ostens zwischen der Türkei und Israel“, sagt der Politikwissenschaftler Rasim Marz. Hat die Türkei überhaupt ein Interesse an einem stabilen, womöglich demokratischen, Syrien? Die Türkei sieht sich als Hegemonialmacht im Nahen Osten; die Kurden, die im Nordosten Syriens leben und deren YPD entscheidenden Anteil an der Niederschlagung des IS hatte, gelten Recep Tayyip Erdoğan als Erzfeind.

Mit der 16. Ausgabe der Speakeasy-Bar starten wir ins neue Jahr und Wolfgang berichtet von seinen Trainingserfolgen im Fitnessstudio. Dann sprechen wir zunächst über die politischen Verschiebungen, die durchaus beängstigend sind. Kann es sein, dass das Patriarchat in den USA noch so sehr ausgeprägt ist, dass Kamala Harris gar keine Chance gegen Donald Trump haben konnte? Weiter fragen wir uns, was der Fall Pélicot lehrt und weshalb es falsch ist, alle Männer unter Generalverdacht zu stellen. Zudem geht es um die neoliberale Seite bei Michel Foucault, die häufig übersehen wird, aber in Foucaults Abschied vom Marxismus begründet liegt. Außerdem erläutern wir, warum wir bei Anschlägen oder ähnlichen Vorfällen in der Regel nichts dazu in den Sozialen Medien posten. Das und mehr in der neuen „Wohlstand für Alle“-Speakeasy-Bar von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt! Unsere Zusatzinhalte könnt ihr bei Apple Podcasts, Steady und Patreon hören. Vielen Dank!

Con la visita inédita Damasco de los cancilleres de Francia y Alemania, el nuevo poder de facto en Siria cierra una semana de intensa actividad diplomática en la que estrechó de manera oficial los vínculos con Arabia Saudita, pero también dejó claro que mantendrá relaciones con Irán y Rusia. Atrapada en medio de las tensiones entre Israel e Irán, con la dramática situacion de Gaza al frente y bajo la presión de Turquía por tener en casa a los kurdos apoyados por Estados Unidos, la Siria post Assad le apuesta a la neutralidad en política exterior.Entrevistado por Radio Francia Internacional, Ignacio Gutiérrez de Terán, profesor de Estudios Árabes e Islámicos de la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, analiza la postura regional que defiende la coalición rebelde liderada por el grupo islamista Hayat Tahrar Al Sam (HTS) en el gobierno de Damasco  desde hace un mes.      RFI: ¿Cuál es la estrategia que subyace al discurso de neutralidad promovido por el líder rebelde Ahmed al Sharaa y quien dirige a Siria tras derrocar a Bashar al Assad?Ignacio Gutiérrez de Terán: No se puede entender la nueva relación de Arabia Saudíta con Siria sin tener en cuenta el marco geoestratégico y, sobre todo, la postura de Estados Unidos. Desde el primer momento, Washington ha mostrado una actitud conciliadora y de expectativas que llevóֶ a sus aliados en la zona, empezando por Arabia Saudí, a superar en principio algunas de sus primeras objeciones, entre ellas el supuesto nivel de relación que podría haber entre estos nuevos grupos que dirigen Siria y la formación de los Hermanos Musulmanes que, como se sabe, es archienemiga de Arabia Saudí. La coalición que gobierna a Siria, por definición, no es miembro de los Hermanos Musulmanes. Pero existía ese temor.Creo que Arabia Saudí ha superado su postura inicial y quiere mantener a Siria fuera del eje de apoyo a Irán. Desde el punto de vista estadounidense, también interesa evitar cualquier tipo de acercamiento de Siria hacia Irán. Es muy habitual en la política regional, cuando hay un cambio de equilibrios en las alianzas, intentar atraer al nuevo elemento hacia una alianza más proclive a los intereses saudíes.Con Dios y con el diabloRFI: La prevención y la acción de Riad no evitó, sin embargo, que Ahmed al Sharaa dijera -justamente frente a la cadena saudí Al Arabiya-  que Siria no puede dejar de tener relaciones con Irán porque es un país muy importante en la región. ¿Hasta dónde puede el nuevo poder sirio lestar con dios y con el diablo, sea cualquiera de los dos, el dios y el diablo?Ignacio Gutiérrez de Terán: Claro, eso es lo difícil de diferenciar. En realidad, lo que quiere Ahmed al Sharaa es evitar cualquier tipo de enfrentamiento directo, tanto con potencias regionales como internacionales. Recordemos que los dos pilares básicos del régimen de los Asad hasta diciembre pasado eran Rusia e Irán. Y de una forma inteligente, Sharaa ha tratado de dar a entender a ambos -a Teherán y Moscú- que no va contra ellos.Lo que intenta este nuevo gobierno es dar a entender  que Siria no es un problema ni una amenaza para nadie. Han intentado decírselo a los israelíes, se lo han dicho a los estadounidenses, a Turquía, por supuesto. Y quieren hacer lo mismo con Irán y con Rusia.El problema, como usted bien dice, es que hay muchos intereses contrapuestos y entrelazados y no sabemos muy bien hasta qué punto esta visión de neutralidad positiva de Siria se podrá mantener teniendo en cuenta la situación dramática en Gaza y la continua tensión entre Israel e Irán. Y Siria está precisamente en medio de los dos. Es un equilibrio muy difícil, pero desde luego van por esa línea y veremos cuánto tiempo dura.La espina kurdaRFI: Supongo cada uno de los actores regionales, de acuerdo a sus intereses, pedirá la no neutralidad de Siria en el momento actual.Ignacio Gutiérrez de Terán: Creo que Estados Unidos Rusia y Turquía y, sobre todo, Irán - que es la parte que más ha salido perdiendo con este cambio de gobierno-  pedirán que no haya ninguna tendencia de Damasco hacia un lado u otro.El primer gran expediente que ha de resolver ahora es la cuestión kurda por lo que corresponde a Turquía. Esa será la primera gran prueba porque los turcos parecen decididos a acabar con una presencia militar robusta en el bando kurdo y con la dependencia supuesta, según Ankara, que tienen los rebeldes kurdos o la entidad autónoma de Rojava con respecto al PKK y los que Turquía considera secesionistas kurdos en sus regiones. El gran problema aquí es que las fuerzas de defensa kurdas y las milicias kurdas tienen un apoyo directo de parte de Estados Unidos, condicionado a la lucha contra los grupos radicales islamistas.RFI:  En ese sentido, Ahmad al Sahara propone que estos rebeldes kurdos del noroeste apoyados por Estados Unidos, se integren al nuevo ejército sirio. ¿Es una jugada inteligente para calmar a Turquía o no?Ignacio Gutiérrez de Terán: No creo que vaya a tener mucho resultado puesto que las propias milicias kurdas no son muy receptivas a este tipo de propuestas. Habría que ver quién comanda esos batallones, brigadas o divisiones y qué tipo de despliegue tienen. Y esto no está nada claro.Tampoco creo que Turquía se contente con algo que no sea medidas concretas. Ankara ya ha hablado de que se vayan los representantes de las milicias kurdas turcas y de que no haya ningún tipo de relación con el PKK ni con cualquier otro tipo de formación kurda que opere en Turquía. Y también está intentando evitar que estas milicias se expandan más allá de lo que son enclaves kurdos fácilmente controlables.Por eso digo que es el gran asunto espinoso, el primero de los varios que tiene que resolver el nuevo gobierno sirio. Y veremos cómo van las negociaciones a tres bandas con Ankara, con Estados Unidos y con las propias milicias kurdas. Desde luego está habiendo combates. Sabemos que hay enfrentamientos en la zona del noreste, entre divisiones armadas partidarias del gobierno y grupos kurdos.

In today's episode we talk about the recent rebel offensive in Syria which has managed to topple the dictator Bashar al-Assad. First, we give a brief summary about Assad's rule and the civil war since 2011 in Syria, mentioning the different local factions and foreign powers involved. Then we talk about the democratic-confederalist kurdish liberation movement in the North and Eastern parts of the country, its repression by Turkey and the fate of the project in the context of the regime change in Syria. We end by listing some media and other resources from where we personally get our news about Syria and Rojava, mentioning what biases each outlet has. ===== Re(Sources): Unsorted sources https://medyanews.net https://syria.liveuamap.com/ https://syria.liveuamap.com/en/time/06.12.2024 https://kongra-star.org/eng/about-us/ https://anfenglish.com/news https://rojavainformationcenter.org/ https://medyanews.net/ https://www.freeocalan.org/about https://internationalistcommune.com https://twitter.com/starrcongress https://twitter.com/SDF_Syria https://twitter.com/MazloumAbdi https://twitter.com/RojavaNetwork https://twitter.com/Vigil4Ocalan https://twitter.com/RevistaLegerin https://twitter.com/RojavaNetwork/status/1868790045290926469 https://twitter.com/YpgInt journalists to follow https://twitter.com/vvanwilgenburg https://twitter.com/fgeerdink https://twitter.com/jamesstout https://twitter.com/MattBroomfield1 Artwork from https://www.flickr.com/people/kurdishstruggle/, edited by Grecu.

In this episode, you'll hear Cedric and Khuzama, two libertarian communists with connections to Syria and editor contributors to the blog interstices-fajawat.org , speaking about their observations of what's been going on leading up to and through the ouster of Bashar Al-Assad, as well as complications among various factions on the ground and the view from the Syrian diaspora. The situation on the ground is changing fast, so check the show notes for this episode on our website for links to news sources that can be helpful in keeping up. And if you care to hear a perspective from an anarchist combatant affiliated with Tekosina Anarsist, which works with the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria affiliated with the SDF and Rojava Revolution, you can find our episode from December 22nd and the transcribed zine.

Three weeks after the fall of the Bashar Assad dictatorship, the only fighting in Syria remains between Arab and Kurdish militias—holding grim potential for destabilization of the democratic revolution. Kurds had been persecuted and even denied citizenship under the Assad regime, but the invasion of their autonomous territory of Rojava by the Turkish-backed rebels of the Syrian National Army (SNA) drove them into a paradoxical tactical alliance with the dictatorship. The tragic situation in Burma's Rakhine state mirrors this disturbing reality. The Muslim Rohingya people had been persecuted, denied citizenship and finally targeted in a campaign of genocide by the military, but are now facing attacks by the Buddhist-supremacist rebels of the Arakan Army—driving some Rohingya into a paradoxical tactical alliance with the military junta. In Episode 258 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg offers this comparison in the hope that the peoples of Burma can unite across religious lines to defeat the junta, and that Syrians can find a way toward co-existence in the new revolutionary order and avoid ethnic war.

Amid jubilation following the overthrow of long-ruling dictator Bashar Assad, the only fighting in Syria is now between Arabs and Kurds—as the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army (SNA) expels the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) from the town of Manbij. Ankara's design is clearly to expunge the Kurdish autonomous zone in the northeast region of Rojava. Yet there are also positive signs of an accommodation between the Rojava Kurds and the new revolutionary administration in Damascus. In Episode 255 of the CounterVortex podcast, Bill Weinberg examines the new political landscape in Syria and tries to identify a way forward—past the threat of ethnic war and toward a multicultural democracy.

In Lifehouse: Taking Care of Ourselves in a World on Fire (Verso, 2024), Adam Greenfield presents a compelling vision for collective resilience in an age of perpetual crisis. As we grapple with what Greenfield terms the "Long Emergency"—an era marked by cascading disasters from pandemics to climate-driven catastrophes—this timely book explores how we might reclaim agency and foster community in the face of overwhelming challenges. Greenfield's central argument is both radical and deeply pragmatic: by synthesizing diverse tactics of mutual aid and community organizing, we can construct a coherent way of life that not only helps us survive but potentially thrive amidst upheaval. Drawing inspiration from a rich tapestry of historical and contemporary examples, he illustrates how grassroots networks of care and solidarity can serve as powerful bulwarks against despair and disempowerment. The author takes readers on a journey through various models of collective action and self-organization. He examines the Black Panthers' survival programs and the remarkable effectiveness of Occupy Sandy's disaster relief efforts in the wake of Hurricane Sandy. Greenfield also highlights the crucial role played by neighborhood-based mutual aid groups during the COVID-19 lockdowns, demonstrating how local initiatives can fill gaps left by institutional failures. However, Greenfield's vision extends beyond ad hoc responses to specific crises. He invites readers to consider larger-scale experiments in participatory democracy and communal living, such as the municipalist movements in Spain and the autonomous region of Rojava in Syria. These examples serve as proof of concept for alternative forms of social and political organization that prioritize collective well-being and ecological sustainability. Lifehouse is both a manifesto and a call to action. It is an invitation to rediscover and nurture our individual and collective capacities that have long been suppressed under late capitalism. Greenfield argues that by building robust networks of mutual support and reimagining local power structures, we can create resilient communities capable of weathering the storms ahead. This book arrives at a critical juncture as the effects of climate change become increasingly apparent and traditional institutions struggle to address mounting global challenges. Greenfield's work offers not just a critique of the current system but a roadmap for creating meaningful alternatives rooted in solidarity and shared purpose. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode #258: On this special day of August 8th, the anniversary of 8888, we bring you a story of freedom.Azad's mission is a testament to the enduring spirit of international solidarity and the fight for democracy. An internationalist from the USA, Azad's journey began in the heart of the Rojava revolution in northeastern Syria, where he spent four years aligning with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). This experience deepened his commitment to revolutionary causes and honed his skills as a fighter and trainer. Motivated by a sense of duty to support oppressed peoples, he transitioned to the conflict in Myanmar, embedding himself in the resistance movement in Chin State. Azad's mission in Myanmar is multifaceted, focusing on providing advanced sniper training and enhancing the operational capabilities of local resistance fighters. Despite the challenges, including limited resources and harsh conditions, efforts like Azar's are crucial in helping level the playing field against the well-armed—though demoralized— Burmese military forces. His training emphasizes the importance of precision, technical expertise, and strategic acumen, aiming to transform motivated but inexperienced locals into effective combatants.“The revolution in northeastern Syria and the revolution that's going on here touch very much on the same wavelength, if you will,” he says. “People all over the world, they're looking at these revolutions that are happening. And the question is people; not governments, not states, not organizations. The question is people! When they're faced with dictatorship, when they're faced with tyranny, or when people come together and they want to fight for their own freedom for their own autonomy for their own self-determination … can they do it?”
