Libertarian communalism
Libertarian communalism is an anarchist current of the late 20th century that was mainly shaped by Murray Bookchin and Janet Biehl .
The core element is the idea of a decentralized community of smaller cities in a federal system. Bookchin was guided by the manageable polis of ancient Greece with the direct democratic citizens' assembly and added the communal ownership of the means of production as a material component of the libertarian institutional framework on an ecological basis. He completed the model with a federation of municipalities as an economically and politically shared public administration community. In Green anarchism and the anti-globalization movement American imprint these ideas were taken up.
reception
The Kurdistan Workers' Party has officially adopted ideas and terms and developed democratic confederalism , although the seriousness of the claim and implementation, for example in Rojava at the time of the civil war in the 2010s, was critically questioned by anarchists.
From the traditional anarchist as well as anarcho-syndicalist side, some ideas, in particular participation in elections at the local level, are rejected as bourgeois and reformist.
