The Role of Revolutionary Councils in the Kurdish Struggle

Saadat Hashamiyan and Sozan Savehilaghi speak in this session recorded at Socialism 2023. A panel presentation and discussion led by multi-generational Marxist/anti-capitalist Kurdish feminists on what the Kurdish Freedom Movement can teach us about international organizing and what revolutionary neighborhood/community councils can teach us about liberatory governance. The presentation will thread together regional historical context, reflections on movement organizing and the role of decentralized local governance as experiment and practice within Kurdish peoples' resistance movements.
