I'm no expert on the exact situation in Rojava, but please don't confuse
"Democracy" with "majority vote".

In a true Democracy all people are equal under the law. Meaning there are
no kings, no slaves, and - yes - minorities are protected from exclusion or
extortion.

As for the line drawn between private property and resources, IIRC this
line is drawn at *natural* resources, hence, kind of the geo-libertarian
ideal. But perhaps someone with more knowledge on this subject can confirm
(or deny) this?
