The Communes of Rojava: A Model In Societal Self-Direction (Audio)

*This is the audio version of a Youtube video: An in-depth look into the inner workings of the commune system of Rojava and how they work in practice; I also call for people to form communes throughout North America and the world. 0:00-2:50 Defining The Commune 2:51-5:53 Defense Committee 5:54-11:09 Health Committee 11:10-15:29 Peace and Consensus Committee 15:30-23:40 Economic Committee 23:41-29:21 Education Committee 29:22-37:40 Women’s Committee 37:41-42:56 A Call for Communes Everywhere! Lots of self-criticism on this one: First, I should have mentioned that Rojava is a term no longer officially used their because it is rooted in the Kurdish struggle and is Kurd-centric as a name, but the society is being built as explicitly multi-ethnic so is now called the Democratic Federation of Northern Syria to reflect this diversity. I used the former term because, sadly, it is the word most people know. Also, my knowledge of Kurdish instrumental music is limited, so I used a couple of songs twice. This video is far too long. I will probably cut it up and release it in parts, showing each committee in a separate video. I also need a microphone. This took 20+ hours to edit and it still is sub-par as far as video and audio quality go. Criticism accepted and encouraged!
