What is the correct line/approach for the Kurds? Or anyone fighting for self determination. If it a people’s revolution say like Cuba, do you become their Soviet Union and help them them with money and material conditions and weapons?
I'm not positive on our line in the party but I know it goes along the common unofficially line of critical support.
What we have to examine in our time is that there is no Socialist nation that's strong enough to stave off naked western imperialism, therefore any fledgling socialist cause is left to either fend for itself and succeed in seizing power or be snuffed out in reprisal by the state or be strangled in the cradle by international imperialists.
Currently speaking we're starting to see the rise of not just China as a counterbalance to the U.S, but also the fledgling development of a league of independent states that exist outside of the U.S hegemony i.e Bolivia, DPRK, Iran, etc, banding together as a means of mutual aid and trade.
Time can only tell what developments will follow, but we can only watch with bated breath how the socialist movements in Latin America will advance while working ourselves in the imperial core to undermine it's propaganda and power in solidarity with them.
^These are my questions. It seems to me like the problem with the United State's policy of interventionism is that they always use human rights and/or the right of self detrmination/sovereignty as a pretext and cover for imperialism.
I'm sympathetic to the argument that Chomsky is naive if he believes the United States even capable of being an honest actor....but is hardline non interventionism truly the only approach?
Historically interventionism, even for very principled reasons, falls apart. Nationalism is a hell of a drug to break. Two great examples are the USSR trying to liberate Poland immediately after the Russian Civil War (ended horrible, Poles felt the Soviets were imposing their values on them and taking over, created reactionary Polish sentiments in opposition) and revolutionary France in its wars to "impose" revolution on the outside, which also failed miserably.

It’s been said before but I’ll say it again, What is to be Done?

Defend Rojava at all costs
Even if they become oil mercenaries for the US to starve Syria?

There’s countless examples. And when it is not outright troops on the ground or drones in the sky, it is sanctions and other forms of warfare.
Internationalism not interventionism.
