LIKE Stalingrad and Jamara, the Kurdish city of Kobane represents an epitome of anti-fascist struggle, famous for repelling the Isis siege in the autumn and winter of 2014.
In all three cases, revolutionary forces battled against the odds to win decisive victories, in the midst of competing imperialist powers prevaricating and contradicting themselves.
During the siege of Kobane in 2014, desperate for the world to pay attention to the destruction of the city by Isis, the Kurdish movement called for a day of action on November 1, which became known as World Kobane Day.
