kurdbe.com is a multilingual publishing platform founded to discuss the deepest crises of our time—war, ecological destruction, femicide, social disintegration, cultural genocide, poverty, and the production of meaninglessness—not merely at the level of “news,” but through a paradigmatic lens.
We side not with commentary trapped in daily headlines, but with the search for social truth. For this reason, texts on kurdbe.com follow current developments while also engaging in critique of mentality and system, ethical–political responsibility, and the possibilities of a free life.
Our intellectual orientation
The main reference of our editorial line is the paradigm of democratic modernity developed by Abdullah Öcalan within the framework of the “Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization.” While this paradigm criticizes nation-state-centered forms of power and the monopolistic order of capitalist modernity, it proposes a new horizon of social organization based on the principles of moral–political society, democratic confederalism, democratic autonomy, women’s freedom, and an ecological society.
From this perspective:
- Society is a natural organizing force that precedes the state.
- Freedom is not only an individual right; it is a mode of organizing collective life.
- Ecology cannot be reduced to “the environment”; it is the ethics of life and a condition of social existence.
- Women’s freedom is not merely a demand for equality; it is a constitutive محور of social transformation.
- Democracy cannot be narrowed to elections; it becomes real through communes, assemblies, and self-governance.
Our references and fields of work
kurdbe.com is not only a news site; it is also a space for reading, discussion, and production.
For this purpose, we take as a core frame of reference the last six-volume body of work by Kurdish People’s Leader Abdullah Öcalan. Through the paradigm of democratic modernity developed in this corpus, we discuss statist forms of power, the structural crises of capitalist modernity, and social disintegration—and we aim to make visible the possibilities of a free and ecological society.
Within this framework, we produce content on:
- critique of capitalist modernity and the search for alternative sociality,
- the perspective of democratic autonomy / democratic confederalism,
- the ecological crisis and the approach of “social nature,”
- women’s freedom and social transformation,
- regimes of knowledge, critique of academia, and ethical–political thinking.
This work is not a dogmatic transmission; it is an editorial approach that brings texts into dialogue with historical context, social experience, and the problems of today.
Our editorial principles
- A respectful, clear, and consistent language
- Content that remains connected to sources while speaking to the present
- A perspective where peoples, women, youth, and nature are subjects
- Expanding social access through multilingual publishing
For us, publishing is not only about telling; it is part of organized thinking, learning, and building the future together.
What do we aim for?
Alongside the question “what happened?”, kurdbe.com also insists on these questions:
Why did it happen? Which mentality produces it? How can an alternative be built?
Because for us, the essential task is not only to diagnose crisis, but to begin building—today—the institutions of a free, ecological, and democratic life.
