Introduction to democratic confederalism – ADM
The crisis of capitalist modernity
In the 21st century, humanity finds itself in an unprecedented systemic crisis. Whether that be ecological catastrophe, the escalation of wars, the political crisis of parliamentary democracies, or the global advance of nationalism and fascism, they are all expressions of the deep crisis into which Capitalist Modernity has plunged humanity and nature.
The capitalist system, with its boundless pursuit of maximum profit and ruthless exploitation of people and nature, continues not only to trap billions of people in poverty and misery, but is today in the process of destroying the ecological basis for life. Climate change, over-exploitation, the displacement of a natural-social way of life, and the inexorable destruction of habitat, especially against indigenous peoples, are just a few indications of a large-scale collapse. Social isolation, the disintegration of social structures and the downward transfer of the consequences of the crisis are leading to a worsening of the crisis and the rapidly increasing impoverishment of a large part of humanity.
The crisis of the democratic forces
The capitalist system is also trying in vain to find a way out of its desperate situation. Not least the existence of the doomed “green capitalism” makes it clear that there can be no solution whatsoever within the logic of the existing system. Any attempt to reinvent the old system can perhaps delay the impending collapse, but it cannot point to a way out of the crisis. What makes this hope for betterment within the old system dangerous is the associated perpetuation of the given state of crisis.
The growth of new feminist, ecological, anti-colonial and democratic movements must be understood as a reaction to the general systemic crisis. But their current theoretical and practical situation feeds doubts about their ability to build an alternative to the existing system. These democratic forces either strive for power themselves and are increasingly absorbed by the system, or they leave the political sphere untouched and thus cannot form a practical alternative. In order not to fall under the influence of neoliberalism, a real opposition to the system and a radical moral, political and intellectual renewal are needed.
A Way Out of the Crisis: Democratic Modernity
The perspective of Democratic Modernity, developed by the Kurdistan Freedom Movement, also builds – among many others – on these experiences and represents today a concrete response to the prevailing capitalist system. The paradigm of Democratic Modernity, with its three pillars of radical democracy, women’s liberation, and ecology, is not a concept that is relevant only to the societies of Kurdistan and the Middle East, but far beyond. The experience of the revolution in Kurdistan has helped democratic and socialist forces worldwide find new direction and inspiration through the paradigm of democratic modernity.
The successes of social self-organization in democratic confederalism have renewed hope and faith in the possibility of a world beyond the current capitalist one. Based on the realization that a solution can only become possible through the development of our own system as an alternative to the three pillars of capitalist modernity – capitalism, industrialism and the nation state – we think it is time to deepen these discussions and take the necessary steps towards organizing and building. We understand Democratic Modernity, based on a democratic society, an ecological industry, and the political system of Democratic Confederation, as the counter-system which must be built.
The Construction of Democratic Modernity
The intensity of the crisis of Capitalist Modernity is noticeably increasing for people worldwide and their rejection of it is growing. The question of alternatives is now being raised and discussed in broad circles. From our analysis of the world’s political situation, we understand that global resistance is growing, and the construction of democratic alternatives is advancing. In the mass protests and uprisings of recent years, the reawakening of a global women’s movement, the young climate justice movement, the protest movements against racism and white supremacy, and also the mass strikes in industry and agriculture, especially in the global South, Democratic Modernity is becoming tangible and taking shape in the global awakening of humanity.
The old world and the new world, Capitalist Modernity and Democratic Modernity, already exist side by side and intertwined. However, while Capitalist Modernity is a highly organized and global system, the alternative remains to this day disorganized, fragmented and without a strategic and unifying proposal of common organization. As Academy of Democratic Modernity, we see our task in building Democratic Modernity, in educational work to create a new understanding of democratic politics, social enlightenment and a new political-moral consciousness, which are the foundations of a free society.
At the same time, we consider the creation of new networks and connections between democratic forces as a fundamental prerequisite for the construction of Democratic Modernity. Through the creation of forums and platforms, we want to contribute to the strengthening of the international exchange of experiences and connect existing struggles.
As ADM we want to provide a platform to discuss, organize and struggle. Just as fundamental social change is inconceivable without building the necessary organization, organization is nothing without a coherent and solid theoretical foundation. It is therefore necessary to intensify the critique of the existing, to think alternatives, to educate ourselves and to organize according to that. We are not only interested in theoretical analysis, but in a change of thinking, of attitudes and thus in a social change. In a time of crisis of capitalist modernity we want to discuss about building up and seeking for an alternative in the here and now on the basis of radical democracy, ecology and women’s liberation.
For this we want to invite to an introduction to democratic confederalism, so that we can struggle together in the future. The FAB appears to us as an appropriate context to do so.

S’inspirer de la justice hoodistique ? – NLP
De Montréal à Bruxelles, comment dépasser le pénal ?
La justice hoodistique est un projet de justice alternative créé à Montréal-Nord par les « communautés noires », pour les « communautés noires » du district.
Il a été pensé et mis en place par l’organisation Hoodstock qui se mobilise pour plus de justice sociale. Bien que ce projet ne soit pas transposable ici, il soulève de nombreux enjeux et pose beaucoup de questions tactiques incontournables lorsqu’on projette de réduire l’emprise du système pénal. D’autant plus lorsqu’on s’insère dans les dispositifs institutionnels existants, avec tous les risques que cela comporte.
– Plus d’informations à venir bientôt !
– Invitation de collectif bruxellois en cours (à préciser, sous réserve de confirmation).
Extraits du site :
« Ce projet se base sur l’hypothèse qu’il y a une surreprésentation des personnes noires dans le système de justice pénal et qu’elles sont moins orientées vers des mesures alternatives et réparatrices. Justice hoodistique consiste en un projet-pilote de justice réparatrice pour les personnes afrodescendantes accusées âgées entre 12 et 64 ans et qui se veut être intégrée dans le programme de mesure de rechange général (PMRG) en tant que mesure de sensibilisation. Tout au long du processus, une approche holistique, multidisciplinaire et intersectionnelle est favorisée, dans laquelle l’être humain est considéré dans toute sa complexité, et non pas seulement sous l’œil de la criminalité et de la victimisation. Qu’elle soit envers la collectivité ou envers la victime, la réparation est au cœur de ce projet, tout comme l’est la reconstruction de soi. »
– Ce rendez-vous se tient dans le cadre du FAB (Festival Acéphale de Bruxelles)
Le 21 juillet 2026, de 18h30 à 20h30, au Steki (rue Gustave Defnet 4-6 à Saint-Gilles).
