Synopsis "Civilization: The age of Masked Gods and Disguised Kings (Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization) "

This manifesto is the definitive work of Abdullah Öcalan, crucial for understanding the Kurdish revolution. Here Öcalan outlines a democratic alternative for the Middle East.A criticism that limits itself to capitalism is too superficial, Öcalan argues, and turns his eyes to the underlying structures of civilization. Rethinking the methods of understanding culture, politics, and society, he provides the tools for what he calls a sociology of freedom.Civilization: The Age of Masked Gods and Disguised Kings is the first book in a new five-volume work called Manifesto for a Democratic Civilization. In this work, Abdullah Öcalan distills 35 years of revolutionary theory and praxis and 10 years of solitary confinement in Turkish prisons. These reflections represent the essence of his ideas on society, knowledge, and power.

David Graeber (1961-2020) was an American anthropologist, writer, and activist, known for his studies on anarchism, economics, and political anthropology. He was a professor at the London School of Economics and a key figure in the Occupy Wall Street movement. His works have influenced debates on labor, debt, and social organization, establishing him as a critical thinker of capitalism and power structures.

Among his most notable books are Debt: The First 5000 Years (2011), where he examines the history of debt as an economic and social institution, Bullshit Jobs (2018), a critique of the uselessness of certain modern jobs, and The Dawn of Everything (2021), co-written with David Wengrow, which rethinks the history of humanity from an anthropological perspective.
