Time for Revolution!
Come and learn from the first revolution of the 21st century and how it can guide struggle movements in the Netherlands and Belgium!
The Rojava Revolution began in 2012 with the declaration of autonomy for northern and eastern Syria. More than a decade after it began this social, multicultural and feminist revolution continues to grow and expand. The Turkish state is currently attempting to carry out a military invasion of the autonomous territory in order to put an end to this revolutionary experiment, but the historic resistance of the peoples of the region is preventing the invasion from advancing.
The paradigm of Democratic Modernity on which the Rojava Revolution is based remains little-known. Developed by Abdullah Öcalan, it guides the Kurdistan Liberation Movement. Rejecting the nation-state, this paradigm proposes a social project based on radical democracy, women’s liberation and social ecology.
Beyond the Middle East, how can this paradigm serve as a guide for the development of new revolutionary dynamics? How can we open up new perspectives for liberation from the heart of capitalist modernity?
How have young people been organizing for several years to build democratic confederalism internationally?
This evening is proposed by Lêgerîn, a magazine founded in Rojava, which today is being developed autonomously by young people present on all the continents.
