#Antimilitarism in not #pacifism. Altough there are overlapping motivations, they are different, where pacifism bears a deep moral component and anti-militarism has stronger analytic and strategic leanings.

Anti-militarism focussus more on the societal and structural effects of how the military is organised and what function it plays for the interests of the bourgeois class, the enforcement outwards for the state and internally in disciplining the #workingclass. This can also be the case for pacifism.

Anti-militarism however is not the rejection of the understanding that in the case of social revolution, the bourgeoisie will mobilize against the revolution and the need for (armed) #selfdefense against this. I will post more on this in the near future. As these questions are very important and need to seriously updated to a 21st century theory.

The wars in #Ukraine, #Sudan, #Palestine, #Syria, #Kurdistan, #Lebanon, #Venezuela, #Cuba and many other places, and the rise of militarism across the whole western hemisphere, has shown us that it is very important to understand these dynamic, understand our own need for security, and the need to be able to put something in opposition to the #militarism and #imperialism of the state and bourgeoisie, in order to prevent us from being dragged in their wars, become footsoldiers in defense of other regimes which we don't support either, or stand on the side as bystanders, instead of developing a truly revolutionary alternative that is able to navigate its own course.

Weekly highlights 13-20.04.2026

-----------------------------------------------------------------

# ILHAM AHMED AND MAZLOUM ABDI IN DAMASCUS

Al-Sharaa tried to 'buy' Abdi and Ahmed by offering Abdi the position of vice president and Ahmed a senior advisory role. Both rejected those offers on the basis of it being symbolic and representational instead of offering real decision making power. The offers were made during a meeting between the transitional government and a Kurdish delegation to discuss the integration of Kurdish civilian and security structures into the Syrian state.

# MAJOR US BASES NOW IN HANDS OF STG

The US has completed the handover of all their major military basis in Syria to the STG amid the AANES integration process. Some US forces do stay in the region for joint anti-ISIS operations. The handover extends STG military power in NES, where they previously had very limited presence.

# SEREKANIYE REFUGEES ATTEMPTING TO RETURN HOME SHOT AT

As the road between Til Tamer and Serekaniye is opened again, former residents of Serekaniye who became refugees in other parts of NES attempted a return home and were met with live fire. It is unknown whether there were any casualties. The return of all IDP's to their homes is supposed to be part of the integration, these incidents show that this will continue to be a point of tension.

# ATTACK ON KURDISH FLAG SPARKS MOBILIZATIONS

Hussein al-Hasou, a man form al-Aramiya village, recently made a video opening fire with an AK-47 on the Rojava flag in the southern Qamishlo roundabout. The action sparked a mobilization in many cities around northern Syria as well as a campaign on social network with the tag #AlaMePiroze (My flag is sacred). Hussein al-Hassou was known for having relations with the old baath regime, the sheik of Hassou tribe already made a statement distancing itself from his actions. Hussein was recently arrested, but the mobilizations in defense of Rojava flag still ongoing.

# DISAPPEARED JOURNALISTS PROBABLY IN ALEPPO PRISON

The journalists Eva Maria Michelmann and Ahmed Polad that had been disappeared since January might be in STG prison in Aleppo. Accounts of former SDF fighters who were freed in recent prison exchange suggest that, since most of them were held in that prison during their captive time, along with other captured SDF members.

# SIT-IN PROTEST IN DAMASCUS

A protest took place in Damascus to draw attention to the general living condition of people, political freedom and needed improvements in public services. The issue of favoritism within the new regime was also addressed, the protesters demand merit-based assignment of positions. The demonstration was met by a counter-demonstration that tried to disrupt, police forces were also present, no big bursts of violence seem to have happened.
Iranian Attacks in South Kurdistan
Iran renewed attacks on the Iraq Kurdistan Region, with multiple drone strikes on different targets including refugee camps and civilian institutions.

Comrades, I'm still pushing for the final $185 to close the $625 I’ve been raising for the past couple of weeks. No movement until now.

"Meagan Day: What accounts for the Left’s relative failure to replicate this?

Lea Ypi: The abandonment of the critique of capitalism as a class project. You have the environmentalist left, the feminist left, the anti-racist left, and there’s been a critique of universalism that has made it difficult to connect these identity-based struggles into one vision. Paradoxically, the Left has inherited the same culturalist approach that the Right takes to understanding conflict — saying it’s about racism or gender without fitting those critiques into a critique of the broader mode of production.

What the Left really lacks is an alternative cosmopolitanism. When I was a student in the late ’90s and early 2000s in Italy, that was the moment of the alter-globalization movement. You had the World Social Forum in Porto Alegre, the emerging idea of an alternative globalization. But that movement was suffocated by the hegemony of neoliberalism, which insisted that you didn’t need another politics, you just needed the right policy. All you had to do was cater to the Third Way: policy fixes, a little redistribution, compromise with economic elites.

Those of us who were on the streets were seen as ridiculous romantics who didn’t understand that the Cold War was over and there was no alternative. That’s what we lost, and that’s what we’re struggling to recover.

Meagan Day: The Left has been suspicious of the nation-state for good reason. But in recent history, it’s largely been within this context that the weak have been able to express their power. Is there anything redeeming about the nation-state?

Lea Ypi: Pragmatically, yes, because the nation-state is the site of coercive power. If you want to take and exercise power, you need to know where it resides. Otherwise, the social struggle just remains everywhere and nowhere."
