Rojava, lection 2 – Internationalist Commune of Rojava
As part of our lections on international liberation movements at the IntimateCinema in GT22, Maribor we hosted two members of the Internationalist Commune of Rojava. Kris and Marlene spent 2,5 and 1 year in the northern part of Syria where the Kurdish liberation movement is organising the multiethnical and multireligous society on the basis of radical democracy and democratic confederalism. They shared their experiences and knowledge on this really important political experiment – that inspired us also a lot, because it opens a real alternative to the neoliberalised democracies in the West.

Rojava, lection 1 – Democratic Autonomy and Liberation of Women
The topic of the 88th podcast #MariborIsTheFuture was the liberation movement and revolution in Rojava, the northern Kurdish region of Syria. The discussion evolved around the alternative political system the citizens of Rojava developed on the basis of self-governance and direct democracy. And the liberation of women, which is a crucial part of the social revolution in this area.
