Democratic Confederalism might be the last best hope for humanity here's why.
- It's doesn't have the connotations of brutal mass-murdering regimes like Marxism does, and lacks the "edginess" commonly associated with anarchism.
- It's not so much class-based at it is power-based. This alos means that it doesn't run the risk of turning work and poverty into a virtue and thus the proletarian class into an identity.
- As it gives the local communities the absolute right to self-management and autonomy, it appeals to nationalist sentiments without actually being nationalism.
- While very much anarchist in nature, it doesn't shy away from interacting with the state, not a tool of class-power as the Marxists would have, but rather to hollow out the state from within and purposefully sabotage it from within.
- They are the only ones doing anything like what they have proposed on paper right now.
ITT: anarkiddies buying into internet waifu propaganda and getting hyped over a displaced ethnic group creating a nation-state and beng led to think that this is somehow the future of leftism

"Manifesto for a Democratic Society" is bascially the bible for DemCon as far as I know.
"Democratic Confederalism" is a short text that makes a lot of the same points though.

How about no

Yes. Because not getting rid of Power sure helped socialism in the past. Let's just keep buying the old statist meme that the only organization there could ever be is a hierarchical one.

Bookchin, imo best analysis of Bookchin is Damien F. Whites book "Bookchin: A critical appraisal" its also on libgen.io if you dont want to buy it.
maybe actually try to inform yourselve about Rojava, you may disagree with it but calling it just a nation state is a massive oversimplification of whats happening there. It just hurts leftism if you dont even try to seriously analyse somewhat successful leftist movements.

Explain to me how exactly the Kurds are leftist outside of liberal shit like 'women's rights'? They're a nationalist populist army interested in creating an ethnic nation-state. This is not leftist.
