He began taking inspiration from more [[File:Ancom.png]] [[Anarcho-Communism|Anarchist]] writers like [[w:Peter Kroprotkin|Peter Kroprotkin]], particularly liking their views on hierarchy, seeing it as more wholistic than contemporary Marxists. From here he developed his idea of post-scarcity, which he intertwined with his strong views in the growing [[File:Envi.png]] [[Environmentalism|Environmentalist]] movement. This would culminate in his book [https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-post-scarcity-anarchism-1 ''Post-Scarcity Anarchism''] (1971), in which he would outline these beliefs. His concept of [[w:Social ecology (Bookchin)|Social Ecology]], that the ecological crisis is actually a social crisis, would become one of the prominent focuses of his work premiering in his most well known work, ''[https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-the-ecology-of-freedom The Ecology of Freedom]'' (1982). In which he laid out that socially dominating societal structures (specifically the [[File:Sec.png]] [[Authoritarianism|State]] and [[File:Cap.png]] [[Capitalism]]) lead to a society which dominates and destroys nature, instead he proposed society be organized into federations/confederations of ecological, [[File:Directdem.png]] [[Democracy#Direct_Democracy|Directly Democratic]], communes. This would later become known as Communalism. He thought the best way to achieve this society was to organize communities into revolutionary, confederated, municipalities that would adhere to Communalist principles; this is known as [https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-libertarian-municipalism-an-overview Libertarian Municipalism].

 

Bookchin would begin his break with [[File:Awaj.png]] [[Anarchism]] with his 1995 work ''[https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-social-anarchism-or-lifestyle-anarchism-an-unbridgeable-chasm Social Anarchism or Lifestyle Anarchism]'' in which he harshly criticized what he called [[File:Anin.png]] [[Anarcho-Individualism|Lifestyle Anarchism]]. This break would be cemented in 2002 with ''[https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/murray-bookchin-the-communalist-project The Communalist Project,]'' in which he declared Communalism a unique revolutionary tradition that is distinct from, but takes the best parts of, Marxism and Anarchism. Although not all adherents of Communalism consider it separate from Anarchism and as such consider themselves Anarchists. In 2004, Bookchin had [https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/various-authors-bookchin-ocalan-correspondence#toc6 brief correspondence] with [[w:Abdullah Öcalan|Abdullah Öcalan]], an imprisoned Kurdish revolutionary leader and student of Bookchin, who went on to formulate [[File:Demcon.png]] [[Democratic Confederalism]] as a practical application of Communalism in Kurdistan. However, Bookchin could not communicate much with Öcalan because of a mix of his declining health and Öcalan's solitary confinement, dying in 2006.
