      I've literally never seen an ML claim that about Rojava. Most don't even support Rojava due to their ties with the US military.

        Brace Belden from Trueanon (and is a ML) who toured with YPG for 6 months said in his Chapo interview that they basically run like a Stalinist state.

        EDIT: There were also mentions of crit and self crit sessions and what not. Plus I am not sure how useful these discussions are based on labels. Cuba certainly doesn't run exactly like the Soviet Union (neither did China). For instance did you know Che looked at US corporations for inspiration on how to structure the economy? These countries look at what everything everyone tried and figure out what works for them. To me that is the true commie way (it is 'scientific socialism' and not the 'religion of socialism' after all). Not blind adherence to ideas but an honest attempt at trying and finding better models.

        I've definitely seen arguments basically saying there's not as much difference between ML and what Rojava is doing as its more vocal adherents claim, but yeah most of the time the close bond between Rojava and US imperialism means MLs dont usually care much for it in my experience.
