@scottrossi have you read the primary source pamphlet "One Year Since the Turkish Invasion of Rojava: An Interview with Tekoşina Anarşîst"? https://pmpress.org/index.php?l=product_detail&p=1459 It touches on some of the history.

@span thejapantimes Arab spring → crushed. 💩

Ukrainian Maidan, squeezed over the line and going strong despite 2014+2022 invasions by russia 🥳

Hong Kong anti-dictatorship mass protests → crushed by the CCP 💩

Burma/Myanmar protests → civil war, struggling military dictatorship backed by CCP and russia 💥

Now Nepal youth/social media takeover (!) → ??

In the 1990s Nepal dumped the (Hindu) royalty, elected pro-CCP communists, became a vassal of the CCP while depending on India...
Now they're between the aggressive CCP and the hindu-nationalist India with both vying for influence/control. 💥??

(+ many more anti-regime uprisings which haven't changed the status quo)
