I mean the PKK and YPG were explicitly Marxist Leninists when founded until they changed to democratic conferederalism.
We can have a debate (well we actually can't due to anti-sectarianism rules on Hexbear) about whether that is revisionism or opportunism or radical liberalism or dialectical materialism applied to their conditions or whatever or not. I'm not really sold either way.
It's different to European social democracy, etc. Nationalism can liberatory in the imperial periphery for oppressed demographics (and it can still suck too).
It can be liberatory, if it actually is. What we can see in Syria is them aiding the US in harming Syria. When have US bases ever accompanied any liberatory movement?
