What do nation-states hate more than ISIS? Grassroots revolution, of course!
What do nation states hate more than ISIS? A grassroots revolution, of course!
The Free Syrian Army (FSA) with its checkered past and religious overtones is being urged to move into Kobane, where they are not welcomed by the indigenous Kurdish YPG Peoples Protection Units. Turkey and the US are encouraging the influx of nonrevolutionary nondemocratic organizations like FSA and Iraqi Kurdish ("Peshmerga") fighters into Kobane with the eventual aim of supressing the grassroots revolutionary structures that have emerged there (neighborhoods are organized 50-member communes that decide all affairs at spokescouncils).
The YPG peoples militia defending Kobane has repeatedly said they need open borders to be able to resupply themselves and DO NOT need foreign troops of any sort. As we have seen over the past 40 days, they really kick ISIS butt on the ground: 1300 bearded ISIS extremists have been buried at Kobane, only a few hundred because of airstrikes.

Point of information: some cooperative FSA units native to northern Syria are cooperating with YPG under an alliance formed a month ago called Volcano.
Fair and genuine support for YPG includes stopping the Turkish embargo against northern Syria and opening all borders and not interfering in their self-determination.
Here is an official YPG press release:
YPG Commander: FSA should attack ISIS bases in Til Ebyad if it wants to help Kobanî
Friday, 24 October 2014 10:26 hawarnews
NEWS DESK - The Free Syrian Army announced that it has decided to send a brigade of 1300 fighters to Kobane.
The FSA released a statement after a meeting it held in Aleppo. The statement read, "The Free Syrian Army is ready to send a brigade of 1300 fighters to Kobanî from the units in Aleppo".
Abdulcabbar Ageydi, who will lead the fighters, said that they will be ready to leave for Kobanî in the next 36 hours. According to Ageydi, the 1300 fighters will go to Kobanî from Aleppo with their own weapons.
Initial reaction to the decision by the FSA has come from the YPG Commander in Kobanî, Meysa Ebdo. She said that "The FSA has taken this decision without consulting us. If the FSA want to fight against ISIS, it should start by doing so in places outside of Kobanî. The biggest support that the FSA can give us is by opening a battlefront with ISIS in Til Ebyad. If the FSA want to be part of the coalition we formed with some FSA groups called 'The Euphrates Volcano', then we would be happy for them to do so. Without a joint mechanism and command, it would not be feasible for the FSA to enter Kobanî".
