We’re used to blaming the USA as the king of predator capitalism but Russia is just as bad. Modern nation states degenerate into repressive corrupt mafias, and that’s why the Kurdish Revolution is in principle not even demanding a new State . (see..Rojava Revolution.. A Utopia at the Heart of Syrian Chaos)

By agreeing the Turkstream 2 pipeline and bombing the villages of US allies Erdogan has slammed the door on the USA imperialists. …Great?! … But only to implement an equally capitalist as well as racist, jihadi, hierarchical and ultra misogynist police state.
