Libertarian Municipalism, also known as Bookchin Communalism, is a far left, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Libertarian Socialist, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination socially progressive, and sometimes Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarchist ideology with an extreme emphasis on Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Environmentalism, based on the political, philosophical, and sociological ideas of Murray Bookchin.

Bookchin Communalism believes in a stateless, classless, society where hierarchy is reduced as much as possible and is organized into eco-communes that participate in federalism, most private property being made communal.

History

Murray Bookchin was born to Jewish immigrants and from a very young age was heavily influenced by his Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Socialist Grandmother. This led him to be involved with the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Young Communist League USA and hold what he would later describe as Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Stalinist views. However, after studying more Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Marxist literature in his late teens he would shift to a Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Trotskyist perspective. He became a factory worker and unionizer through the 1940's and over that period of time his belief in Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Marxism–Leninism in general began to wane, moving towards a more general Marxist position.

He began taking inspiration from more Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarchist writers like Peter Kroprotkin, particularly liking their views on hierarchy, seeing it as more wholistic than contemporary Marxists. From here he developed his idea of post-scarcity, which he intertwined with his strong views in the growing Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Environmentalist movement. This would culminate in his book Post-Scarcity Anarchism (1971), in which he would outline these beliefs. His concept of Social Ecology, that the ecological crisis is actually a social crisis, would become one of the prominent focuses of his work premiering in his most well known work, The Ecology of Freedom (1982). In which he laid out that socially dominating societal structures (specifically the Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination State and Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Capitalism) lead to a society which dominates and destroys nature, instead he proposed society be organized into federations/confederations of ecological, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Directly Democratic, communes. This would later become known as Communalism. He thought the best way to achieve this society was to organize communities into revolutionary, confederated, municipalities that would adhere to Communalist principles; this is known as Libertarian Municipalism.

Bookchin would begin his break with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Anarchism with his 1995 work Social Anarchism or Lifestyle Anarchism in which he harshly criticized what he called Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Lifestyle Anarchism. This break would be cemented in 2002 with The Communalist Project, in which he declared Communalism a unique revolutionary tradition that is distinct from, but takes the best parts of, Marxism and Anarchism. Although not all adherents of Communalism consider it separate from Anarchism and as such consider themselves Anarchists. In 2004, Bookchin had brief correspondence with Abdullah Öcalan, an imprisoned Kurdish revolutionary leader and student of Bookchin, who went on to formulate Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Democratic Confederalism as a practical application of Communalism in Kurdistan. However, Bookchin could not communicate much with Öcalan because of a mix of his declining health and Öcalan's solitary confinement, dying in 2006.
