The Kurds are Communists
From Wikipedia
The Kurdistan Workers’ Party or PKK (Kurdish: Partiya Karkerên Kurdistanê) is a Kurdish far-left militant and political organization based in Turkey and Iraq. Since 1984 the PKK has been involved in an armed conflict with the Turkish state (with a two-year cease-fire during 2013–2015), with the initial aim of achieving an independent Kurdish state, later changing it to a demand for equal rights and Kurdish autonomy in Turkey
The Democratic Union Party or PYD (Kurdish: Partiya Yekîtiya Demokrat)is a Kurdish democratic confederalist political party established on 20 September 2003 in northern Syria.[4] It is a founding member of the National Coordination Body for Democratic Change, and is described by the Carnegie Middle East Center as “one of the most important Kurdish opposition parties in Syria”.[5] It is the leading political party in the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria and its regions. Chemical engineer Salih Muslim became its chairman in 2010, and Asiyah Abdullah its co-chairwoman in June 2012. On its website, the PYD describes itself as believing in “social equality, justice and the freedom of belief” as well as “pluralism and the freedom of political parties”. It describes itself as “striving for a democratic solution that includes the recognition of cultural, national and political rights, and develops and enhances their peaceful struggle to be able to govern themselves in a multicultural, democratic society.”[4] The PYD is a member of several organisations, e.g. the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK).
The Kurdistan Communities Union or KCK (Kurdish: Koma Civakên Kurdistan) is a Kurdish political organization committed to implementing Abdullah Öcalan‘s ideology of Democratic Confederalism.[1] The KCK also serves as an umbrella group for all the Democratic Confederalist political parties of Greater Kurdistan, including the PKK (Kurdistan Workers’ Party), PYD (Democratic Union Party), PJAK (Kurdistan Free Life Party), and PÇDK (Kurdistan Democratic Solution Party).
