    Autonomous zones have existed for decades and they haven't really done shit on a broader scale. In reality they just become a cool place for people to smoke weed, or in the case of Chiapas, grow overpriced coffee.

        Lmao imagine comparing the USSR to fucking Freetown Christiania. Every single one of these autonomous zones except Rojava is nothing more than a neighborhood. Rojava only exists because the PKK (who were MLs for a very long time) has been organizing a vanguard and army for decades, and they received "assistance" from the US to establish a friendly zone within Syria.
