The Anarchists vs. the Islamic State

"But the YPG is not your typical ethnic or sectarian faction. Its fighters are loyal to an imprisoned guerrilla leader who was once a communist but now espouses the same kind of secular, feminist, anarcho-libertarianism as Noam Chomsky or the activists of Occupy Wall Street. The Kurds are implementing these ideals in Rojava, and that has attracted a ragtag legion of leftist internationals, like Belden, who have come from nearly every continent to help the YPG beat ISIS and establish an anarchist collective amid the rubble of the war a "stateless democracy" equally opposed to Islamic fundamentalism and capitalist modernity. They call it the Rojava Revolution, and they want you. "

I think you should join them and report back.

They do sound pretty cool tbh, although it's probable that Rolling Stone is putting a lot of spin on it.
Anarchists don't own their own airforce. Anarchists don't cripple the NHS and 98 other countries computer systems, and neither do IS.
