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.''"〔Öcalan, Abdullah.( "Democratic Confederalism'' ). Transmedia Publishing Ltd., 2011. p. 21.〕 Öcalan, who is the leader of the Kurdistan Workers Party, founded this ideology while in prison. While originally a Marxist–Leninist organization, the organization modified their views as Öcalan began corresponding with Murray Bookchin and incorporating his ideology. Towards the end of his life, Murray Bookchin drifted away from anarchism towards libertarian municipalism instead.〔("The new PKK: unleashing a social revolution in Kurdistan" in RoarMag.org )〕 The central pillars of democratic confederalism are ecology and feminism.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.cvltnation.com/anarchists-vs-isis-the-revolution-in-syria-nobodys-talking-about/ )〕 According to Abdullah Öcalan, his ideology is rooted in participatory democracy and autonomy at the local level. From his book: The overthrowing of the state is seen as a gradual process. They do not see the revolutionary overthrow of a state as a way to create sustainable change. Rather, social issues and issues relating to freedom and justice must be resolved by democratic-confederate process. If a nation state chooses to go on the offensive, however, supporters may resist with the self-defense force of the democratic confederation (such as the YPG).〔Öcalan, Abdullah.( "Democratic Confederalism'' ). Transmedia Publishing Ltd., 2011. p. 32.〕 Adherents desire the creation of a global confederate assembly which could put forward a platform of civil liberties, as opposed to the United Nations which they see as an association of nation-states and dominated by the super-powers.〔Öcalan, Abdullah.( "Democratic Confederalism'' ). Transmedia Publishing Ltd., 2011. p. 31.〕 The ideology has experienced a growth of interest since adherents such as the People's Protection Units of the Rojava Revolution have engaged in combat against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant.〔("After Kobani victory, Kurds expand fight against ISIS" )〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Democratic Confederalism」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
