Democratic Confederalism is a left-libertarian, culturally progressive ideology and political system coined by Kurdish politician Abdullah Öcalan that currently exists in Rojava, a de facto autonomous region in northern Syria. Democratic Confederalism believes in a system of administrative councils elected by the people that allow local communities to exercise autonomous control over their assets while linking to other communities via a network of confederal councils. Private property is abolished, in favour of "property of use" which lets individuals use infrastructure and land, but restricts them from turning it into a private enterprise. Feminism, direct democracy, and ecology are also important to her, and the military is replaced by voluntary militias.
She is the child of Bookchin Communalism and shares many opinions with her father. Her mother is Libertarian Socialism, who she is also very similar to.
