Study Hall Member Rowan Glass Covered The Rojava Revolution at Its 12th Anniversary

by | July 30, 2024

For Hell World, Rowan Glass wrote about “the achievements, challenges, and prospects of the Rojava Revolution at its 12th anniversary” and how the autonomous zone in northern Syria represents “a radical transformation of politics and society.” The zone, which Glass describes as “liberatory alternative to the globally dominant status quo” emerged from the brutal Syrian civil war. 

Glass writes, “Drawing on decades of transnational Kurdish activism—as well as the political philosophy of the American theorist Murray Bookchin—this eclectic revolutionary experiment, against the odds, achieved remarkable success, longevity, and renown as a rare bastion of libertarian socialism in practice.”
