Anarchists Fighting ISIS in Rojava Announce New Formation

Today we announce the formation of the International Revolutionary People’s Guerrilla 
Forces, an explicitly anarchist, militant group in Rojava seeking to defend the Revolution 
and advance the cause of anarchism. ---- The Role of the IRPGF ---- The International 
Revolutionary People’s Guerrilla Forces (IRPGF) is a militant armed self-organized and 
horizontal collective working to defend social revolutions around the world, to directly 
confront capital and the state, and advance the cause of anarchism. We recognize and 
affirm that principled action necessitates principled politics. We are not a political 
party or platform but rather an armed collective comprised of comrades with different 
anarchist positions. The IRPGF’s collective unity manifests itself in the praxis of 
militant action which we consider a prerequisite for achieving liberation. Our role is 
twofold; to be an armed force capable of defending liberatory social revolutions around 
the world while simultaneously being a force capable of insurrection and struggle against 
all kyriarchal forms of power wherever they exist.

We do not enter conflict zones with intent to command but rather, while retaining our 
autonomy as a collective, to fight alongside other armed groups in solidarity with those 
who are oppressed, exploited and facing annihilation. The IRPGF believes collective 
action, solidarity and unity are necessary for struggle. International solidarity is the 
most powerful weapon of the oppressed. At the same time we maintain the need for criticism 
when and where appropriate. (Self)Criticism is not something to be feared. It is to be 
embraced as the constant source of energy that drives individuals, communities and 
revolutionary movements towards realizing liberation.

The Need for Armed Struggle

Within movements for liberation an enormous chasm exists between those who deploy peaceful 
means to confront the enemy and those who defend both their communities and themselves 
through armed struggle. These dichotomous positions contain within them an inter-sectional 
network of social positions and identities that reveal their location, context and 
content. For the IRPGF, peaceful methods are unable to confront and destroy the state, 
capitalism and all forms of kyriarchal power. In fact, they do the reverse. They protect, 
embolden and strengthen the enemy, enhancing the forms of oppression against increasingly 
isolated individuals and divided societies. We believe that our liberation springs forth 
from the barrel of a gun.

Armed insurrections and rebellions around the world will be carried out to the end. We 
fight in defense of life and we struggle for total liberation. The nation-state, 
authority, capital and social hierarchy are the enemies of a liberated world and therefore 
enemies of us all. While we struggle through self-criticism and collective criticism of 
our personal and collective internalizations of these oppressive behaviors, attitudes and 
practices, the external enemies; the bosses, along with their armies and police, must be 
confronted with bullets, bombs and dynamite. The fires of justice and freedom are 
cleansing and all consuming. For us, there is no stepping back and no way to achieve 
liberation except through struggle. Our communities will only be liberated when we destroy 
those few whose wealth and power depend on the suffering and exploitation of many.

The master does not give the slave freedom simply out of an ethical act of pity, 
selflessness and love. The slave must achieve their liberation through insurrection, 
resistance and revolution, using every tool of the master to destroy both the master and 
their mechanisms and apparatuses of domination and oppression. The yoke of tyranny and its 
chains of repression cannot withstand the insurrection of the oppressed. We long for the 
day when swords will be turned into ploughshares, but until that day arrives, if it ever 
does, we will hold on to our weapons. The IRPGF’s existence is predicated on the necessity 
of armed struggle. The moment this is no longer necessary, the IRPGF will cease to exist. 
Our position is against the notion of “standing armies” or ossified revolutionary groups 
that become insular states unto themselves.

The IRPGF’s International Position

We believe that the third world war has already started and that the conflicts in Syria, 
Ukraine and in other parts of the world are only the beginning. The capitalist system, 
nearing its end and having plundered the world and stripped it of its resources, faces its 
most acute crisis yet. With no surplus labor population to put in its dungeons and 
assembly lines, the antagonisms and contradictions of the system in crisis are unfolding. 
With imperialist powers fighting for the last scraps to safeguard their livelihoods and 
with fascism on the rise, a common struggle is developing against both the domination of 
capital and the state. The IRPGF will stand with all peoples looking to secure their 
futures free from ALL forms of oppression, domination and exploitation. We are cognizant 
and recognize the intersection of unique identities and the particularities that exist 
within individuals, in communities and between individuals and communities. We support and 
seek to fully realize the polymorphic nature of human identity and struggle. To this end 
we join with peoples around the world in their uniqueness, and in ours, to realize our 
collective liberation.

MILITANT HORIZONTAL SELF-ORGANIZED COLLECTIVES & COMMUNITIES

FOR THE REVOLUTION AND ANARCHISM!
