It’s honestly a good book. It’s a testimony. Definitely not “anarcho kiddy” just a testimony of a different type of society the guy witnessed.
Also a bit sad without wanting to spoil it but realistic (in terms of outcome, you’ll see what I mean if you read it)
Btw, no one who goes to rojava or knows about the Kurdish cause is an anarchist (none that I know of). Or they might be at the very beginning but then move from this towards the more communist leaning ideology the Kurds tend to espouse (which many anarchists, especially the Twitter kind, would absolutely call “tankies”).
The one anarchist I know who went there would definitely not call himself that anymore and is quite frankly tired of that western activist obsession with labels instead of working to achieve something that actually works.
