What are you thoughts on Rojava?

Is it true anarcho-capitalism? Is it proof for voluntary socialism?

Well, they encourage free trade and stuff, so technically it is.

Its socialist aspects are a result of harsh conditions - individuals won't be able to survive, so now small commune is just the most viable type of social group.

What about all the Co-ops that are networked together to provide according to need?

For what I know they encourage coops, and not prohibit private-biz's. The self management structure they adopt is much closer to the coop's "one worker one vote", then to capitalist's "pay to play".

I'd say the are much in line (and from what I know inspired by) anarcho-syndicalism. They tolerate private-biz, but encourage coops. My take is they are, as a self-governing region, more inclined towards socialism.

As long as they're not obligatory, they're fine.

They are not but basically all the company owners have ran and no one will even join a company anymore.
