    184/ Öcalan's Statement and the Future of the PKK w/ Dîlan

    On Feb 27, Abdullah Öcalan, the long-time jailed leader of the PKK (Kurdish Worker’s Party), released a statement that shocked many. In the statement he called for the PKK to lay down their arms, which could spell the end of the 40-year long armed struggle against the Turkish state, and for the creation of a legal, diplomatic framework to ensure inclusion, rights, and dignity for the Kurdish communities within a democratic Turkish nation.  In this episode, Ayman Makarem, Israa, and Karena Avedissian are joined by Dîlan who provides a thorough overview of the present moment, situates it within the longer history of the Kurdish struggle, and explores analysis of what this all means - for Kurds and other communities across the WANA region. As this episode is time-sensitive we are releasing it on Patreon and publicly at the same time. Dîlan is a reluctant academic and tired organizer. She is interested in alternative historiographies, feminist methodologies, and memory. She considers herself an equal-opportunity hater regarding states and authoritarian power structures, and is a dedicated skeptic of reactionary tendencies in both organizing and academic spheres.

    25 JAN

    Video Essay Announcement

    It's finally happening. Ayman has finished his new video essay 'Where are the Arabs?'. 'Where are the Arabs?' is a long-form video essay about the history, failures, and nostalgia of Arab Nationalism. It's one Arab leftist's attempt to sift through this trend, see its remnant today, nd dispell its myths. Today, there is no Arab solidarity in action. But was there ever? I explore this question and many more over 1h 15m, with clips from a broad range of Arab leftist intellectuals. -- -- There's a live drop happening on Patreon on Sunday 26th at 8pm CET. I'll be in the live chat. Join me! ⁠Link to the Video Essay⁠ Free for members, available for one-time purchase for anyone else! Here's a Youtube link to Ayman's first video essay, released a few months ago -- --
