Democratic Confederalism

Democratic Confederalism, according to Abdullah Öcalan, is a libertarian socialist political system that "is open towards other political groups and factions. It is flexible, multi-cultural, anti-monopolistic, and consensus-oriented." According to Abdullah Öcalan, his ideology is rooted in participatory democracy and autonomy at the local level. From his book: The stronger the participation the more powerful is this kind of democracy. While the nation-state is in contrast to democracy, and even denies it, democratic confederalism constitutes a continuous democratic process.— Abdullah Öcalan
