Short url: 

https://squ.at/r/7g3n

In the Critical Readings book reading group, we are currently reading 'The Murray Bookchin Reader', of Murray Bookchin.
Murray, in this book, spans five decades and encompass subject matter or revolutionary philosophy, politics and histoiry, which are far less known than the specify controversies that deserve ar greater attention.

Bookchin’s influence on Social Ecology and Municipalism provided a key ground for the Democratic Confederalism system being applied in Rojava, one of the few communities in the world that is successfully applying non-hierarchical, anti patriarchal, assembly-based systems of governance in the world.

For this meeting we will discuss texts that resumes and analyzes the relation of Bookchin's work with Rojava:

1. 'Murray Bookchin and the Kurdish resistance' an article from Roar Magazine:
