Maybe you could say they would have or will, but that’s just your guess. I could say the same thing about liberal democracy and be equally as well supported.
Republican Spain and the “Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria” AKA Rojava.
Republican Spain had some communist factions too, but Rojava is explicitly built around a specific strain of anarchism, and is an “administration” instead of a government. I doubt it looks very anarchist in practice, but that’s neither here nor there, and they’re democratic enough the US has endorsed them in the past to Turkey’s great displeasure.
ISIS also has a flag, bureaucracy and a monopoly on the use of force. Doesn’t make them a country. If you don’t have arguments, you should not start arguing in the first place.

Republican Spain was a military faction in a Spanish Civil War, not a country.
Rojava is Kurdish separatist group, not a country.
Bullshit. They have flags, bureaucracies and a monopoly on the use of force within their territory. I will not argue semantics with you.
