I don’t know if Ocalan or the PKK are based or cringe, please let me know.

    Dang, this is a real banger. One of my friends doesn’t get it, though, and I accidentally broke my voice box and can’t explain it to them. Could one of you help a comrade out?

      In prison Ocalan became a theory head, and he synthesized a kind of hodge-podge anarcho-feminist revolutionary theory that Rojava is ostensibly based on. I’m not familiar with the specific quote but in context this is likely about challenging the assumed role of men in society to uplift women’s position.
