Democratic Confederalism

Democratic Confederalism is a political system that emphasizes grassroots democracy, local governance, and decentralized decision-making. It seeks to empower communities to self-manage their own affairs while collaborating in a broader confederation. This approach values direct participation, gender equality, and ecological sustainability, contrasting with traditional nation-states that centralize power. Instead of a hierarchical government, it promotes networks of councils and assemblies where individuals can contribute to decisions affecting their lives. Inspired by movements like those in Rojava, it aims to create a more equitable and just society through shared responsibility and cooperation among diverse groups.
