Vegafjord oakframer

Trying to make a worldview which I call the oakframe. I am very interested in democratic confederalism as envisioned by Abdullah Öcalan.

  • I think the symbolism could be improved, but I still think it is great that you are experimenting with symbolism:D Symbolism is such a great way of showing what we believe in and making dragments, and it is a way of diversifying which will strengthen us.

    I’m with you on the symbolism of green and black, but I’m a little sceptical of the red snowflake although I agree with the underlying meaning. It is true that red is associated with head and that the snowflake is associated with coldness, however in symbolism this doesn’t necessarily translate to the conceptual metaphor of melting.

    I’d perhaps suggest using the symbol that represents ice glaciers. That could be a drawing of a glacier, but it could also be a polar bear or anything we strongly /universally associate with the glaciers.











  • I believe that a graph overviewing different approaches to societal ferns should count those that states explicitly how society should be bound together. Anarcho feminism and anarcho primitivsim would then not qualify because two different anarcho feminist societies could be implemented drastically different and likewise with anarcho primitivism. They could then be democratic confederalists, anarcho communists, syndicalists or zapatistas.

    We should rather treat these as frames of anarchism. The feminist frame, ableism frame, jineoloji frame, food security frame, primitivist frame, queer frame. unmight frame, jamstand frame and so on. These constructs a framework that grounds our reasoning and makes us better suited in understanding what we should expect from society, and thus also the societal fern.

    By making this distinction, we make it easier to explore anarchist ideas and encourage picking a societal fern.
