A pre-recorded interview with David Graeber on the Kurdish forces fighting in Syria. @17:58

David Graeber explains that this conflict should be considered one of the most important events in the recent world history since this is the first time since 1930s in Spain when a group of people try to create democracy without a state. They are in control of a significant part of the territory – about 2/5 of Syria. They follow the idea that it is impossible to get rid of capitalism without getting rid of states and it is impossible to get rid of states without getting rid of patriarchy, which underpins all forms of power.
