TALK: Rojava: call for a revolutionary hacker movement and the study of polytechnics

We are a revolutionary organization following the ideology of apoism in Rojava, North Syria. Global power is breaking up, and new groups are emerging in the struggle for power around the world. We are the technical arm of the democratic confederalist ideological movement. At one time hackers believed they could use the power of the internet and software to shape the world. Leaders emerged that managed to put forward exciting visions of the future that brought groups of technically skilled people together to build large scale projects. But there was another strand in the movement which rejected collective action driven by shared ideas, and instead saw technology merely a way to improve the material conditions of individuals and rejected changing the world. Our group is here to restore back the potential of the hacker movement. We are advancing a vision and practice for technologists that will make the hacker movement a revolutionary force with the power to shape global politics.
