We will now see why the foundation of a separate Kurdish nation-state does not make sense for Kurds.
During the last decades the Kurds have not only struggled against repression by the dominate powers and for the recognition of their existence but also for the liberation of their society from the grip of feudalism. Hence, it does not make sense to replace the old chains by new ones or even enhance the repression.
The call for a separate nation-state for the Kurds results from the interests from the ruling class or the interests of the bourgeoisie, but does not reflect the interests of the people. It would only mean the creation of additional injustice and curtail the right to freedom even more.
Successful Kurdish democratic projects may even advance the democratization of the Middle East in general. This is what I call democratic confederalism.
Quotes from the book called Democratic Confederalism by Abdullah Ocalan on some reasons why Nationalism is no good for freeing the Kurds or why there should not be a separate nation-state for the Kurds even if they are a minority in the Middle East.
Democratic confederalism is the ideal political system, but will the real revolution in Syria survive with no world powers backing it (as it isn't in their best interest). Turkey is seeking to destroy it, as Turkey is the complete opposite of such a mouvement. The rest of the world is silent or has no clue of what democratic confederalism is.
No matter the political system, capitalism or confederalism, independence or greater autonomy, in the end Kurds just want their freedom and live in peace.

Are you sure that a separate nation state is the result of the ruling class. I think that it is from a portion of the Kurdish population. For instance in America there are agendas to create a separate nation state for African Americans, they want this nation state to exist inside of a nation state (America. The agenda is not due to the ruling class and not from the from the entire population of African Americans. But there is a portion of those African Americans who want this for themselves and have started governing bodies to assist with the process which can take decades or centuries. This are similar situations that offer insight into the outcomes of both situations and peoples.

What is clear is Kurds want their freedom and they want it in the right way by liberating the rest of the society with them (racial, religious, gender and social equalities).

It was the same thing with the Kurds some wanted it but according to Abdullah Ocalan it is not a good idea because problem will repeat itself but turned the other way. As people keep themselves separate only hatred will grow or division grows stronger. The NBPP were what you call extreme nationalism basically separatists which makes them a fascist group and the BPP do not acknowledge them for it and rejects them. Even though BPP are black nationalists, they are not separatists and would care for any person that lives within the neighborhood. The extreme nationalism or separatism aka fascism is not a good direction on the long run because they will run into many unreasonable problems.
Democratic Confederalism is what the Kurds use in Rojava and it is the path that is preserving their people the most. Rojava is multi-cultural, multi-religion, and multi-nationalities.
