Talk:Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria

Libertarian socialism?
This article has had the word "libertarian socialism" strewn about throughout it for quite some time, even including it in the infobox as a descriptor of the form of government used by the AANES. But upon going through the sources for the uses of this term, I found that none of them actually used it in reference to the AANES. In fact, only a couple of them actually used the term at all and it was as a passing descriptor for Murray Bookchin, with no clear connection to the AANES.

Given this problem of synthesis has also cropped up in the article for democratic confederalism, I have to ask here: does this term actually have any basis whatsoever in any sources on this subject, or is its association with the AANES yet another original invention of Wikipedia? --Grnrchst (talk) 09:07, 21 July 2023 (UTC)


 * I agree with your thinking, and I do not think those words be included in the inbox either. From the texts I've read from the AANES, the "project" is not terms "libertarian socialism" nor is the government functioning along those lines. Frankly it seems far too ideological and a mark from a less informed Anglophone online past. -Remikipedia (talk) 10:37, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Income level citation
There is a factoid in the article that says (government?) salaries in the AANES are double that of surrounding communities. "The AANES has by far the highest average salaries and standard of living throughout Syria, with salaries being twice as large as in regime-controlled Syria; following the collapse of the Syrian pound the AANES doubled salaries to maintain inflation, and allow for good wages."

This is a strong claim, with no citation to back it up, and no citation needed tag attached to the claim. Djcart137 (talk) 21:57, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

Page length
The article is getting quite long and the page takes some time to load. Is it time to further pare it down summary style? czar 04:37, 15 May 2024 (UTC)
