Manifesto for a Democratic Civilisation

Manifesto for a Democratic Civilisation is Abdullah Öcalan’s five-part exploration of the past, present and (potential) future of democratic and capitalist society. It outlines the ideological underpinning of the whole Kurdistan freedom movement, from the importance of women’s liberation to the political organising system of democratic confederalism.
