You've probably heard of the Kurds of northeast Syria before in the news. They're typically credited with being the folks who put down ISIS, While this is true, it overlooks an achievement far grander in scope: a Libertarian Socialist revolution on a scale not seen since the fall of Revolutionary Catalonia in the Spanish Civil war. This first season of The History They Don't Teach is the story of that revolution. A revolution against hierarchy itself.
