The Kurds are the largest nation on earth without a state. Situated in one of the most violent regions within the current political order and at the militarized borders of competing states, Rojava introduces gender egalitarianism and ethnic pluralism within a carefully crafted model of self-governance called “democratic confederalism.”Marinaleda: Utopian, Cooperative SocialismIntroduction:Known as the “communist utopia,” the town of Marinaleda is situated in the state of Andalusia in Spain, one the poorest regions in the country with about 27% unemployment rate. A town of about 2,800 inhabitants, Marinaleda began to challenge its harsh reality in 1979 with the election of a new mayor and grassroots movement that managed, through a 12-year battled, to acquire the agricultural land, upon which the village created its agricultural cooperative. Public housing, near full-employment, and sufficient monthly income distinguish Marinaleda from its troubled surroundings. And yet, this experiment is not without controversy.https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/oct/20/marinaleda-spanish-communist-village-utopiahttps://www.yesmagazine.org/economy/2014/07/17/marinaleda/http://new-compass.net/articles/marinaleda-modelthe above links in addition to the attachments provided are to be considered as models of the Utopian community we need to create in the refugee campThis the start of the essay:In this paper I will be writing about “Al Zaatari” the largest refugee camp in the middle east and the second largest in the world.
