Learning about Rojava back in around 2015/2016 was what inspired me to become a socialist, so I've been following the situation there for quite some time and I still think they're worth supporting, however it seems like as time has gone on they've had to make a lot of compromises in order survive and gain support from the non-leftist and non-Kurdish segments of the population and the revolution isn't as radical anymore as it was when it first started. In the more recent statements, interviews, etc that I've read they make hardly any gestures at all towards anti-capitalism, which is a bummer. They still have a lot of socialistic economic policies at least though, for example they control the prices of basic necessities to make sure they are affordable for everyone, they distribute free bread, and so on.
It's undeniable though that Rojava has made huge strides for the region in feminism and women's rights and they deserve recognition for their efforts on that front.
