Also Bookchin's ideas are in many way used in the creation of the Democratic Confederation of Nothern Syria (sometimes referred to as Rojava). Which is a seriously large area, in "self-government", basically the area freed from ISIS by a force lead by the Kurds (YPG/YPJ). It is in existence for quite a while, an is currently being attack/invaded by Turkey.
This is basically the most recent serious anarchist experiment in recent history, and it is not very well know, yet extremely interesting from a governance theory/practice point of view. And, sadly, under attack by a huge power.
- hutzlibu 9y agoThe Rojava probably has anarchistic influence, but the PKK/YPG/YPJ ... is rather hierarichal organized afaik. In general, it is interesting (and worth supporting!) what they are doing, but I would not classify it as anarchistic.
