The reason we are under attack is because of the democratic model we are establishing in our area. Many local forces and governments do not like to see these alternative democratic models being developed in Rojava. They are afraid of our system. We have created, in the middle of the civil war in Syria, three independent cantons in the Rojava region that function by democratic, autonomous rule. Together with the ethnic and religious minorities of the region – Arabs, Turkmen, Assyrians, Armenians, Christians, Kurds – we have written a collective political structure for these autonomous cantons: our social contract. We have established a people’s council including 101 representatives from all cooperatives, committees and assembly’s running each of our cantons. And we established a model of co-presidency – each political entity always has both a female and a male president – and a quota of 40% gender representation in order to enforce gender equality throughout all forms of public life and political representation. We have, in essence, developed a democracy without the state. That is a unique alternative in a region plagued by the internally conflicted Free Syrian Army, the Assad regime and the self-proclaimed Islamic State.

In Kurdistan, people are fighting against ISIS, “the procreated violence” given birth to by capitalism and the States that start wars for their own benefits. ISIS, the subcontractor of the States that pursue income strategies on the region, is attacking people while yelling “Islamic State!” and “holy war, jihad!”. People are suffering from hunger and thirst, getting ill, getting injured; migrating and dying. They are still fighting in that struggle for existence. People are fighting not for the schemes and strategies around meeting tables, not for income, but for their freedom.

Öcalan, pasó a razonar que "el dogmatismo se nutre de verdades abstractas que se convierten en modos habituales de razonamiento. Tan pronto como pones esas verdades generales en palabras te sientes como un gran sacerdote al servicio de su dios. Ese fue el error que cometí"La única otra voz anarquista en inglés es el Foro Anarquista de Kurdistán (KAF), un grupo pacifista de kurdos iraquíes que viven en Europa y afirman "no tener relación alguna con otros grupos de izquierda". Aunque apoyan un Kurdistán federal, la KAF declara que "sólo apoyará al PKK cuando abandonen las armas por completo, participen en la organización de los movimientos populares de base en aras de la consecución de las demandas sociales de la población, denuncien y desmantelen los modos centralizados y jerárquicos de lucha y en su lugar se conviertan en una federación de grupos locales autónomos, corten toda relación y tratos con los estados de Oriente Medio y Occidente, denuncien la política de poder carismático, y se conviertan al anti-estatismo y anti-autoritarismo —sólo entonces estaremos de acuerdo en cooperar plenamente con ellos".
