Basically Marx was saying you can't explain everything with one "super - theory"

It seems to me that a large portion of your potential supporters are probably North American/European liberal art degree holders (university anarchists and general idealists).

What sort of opportunities are there for volunteers who have no particularly special engineering or military skills?

The SAA is also the YPG's enemy. Why would they directly help the enemy? If two enemies are fighting each other, you don't necessarily jump in to help the lesser enemy. You weigh the options and decide: the YPG has decided the SAA isn't a big enough enemy to attack, but not a small enough enemy to actively aid.

The conflict between the YPG and the SAA isn't hot at the moment, but given the history between the regime and the kurds there's absolutely no reason for the YPG to actively help the SAA unless they surrender first to the YPG. Also, collaboration with the regime would politically isolate the YPG completely from the FSA.

It's not a dirty game, its warfare/geopolitics 101.
