Burish councilism is a form of council socialism originating in Burland, a Weranian-speaking autonomous republic in eastern Valduvia. The ideology combines elements of Burish nationalism, Sotirian councilism, and agrarian socialism, and is a major ideological faction within the Valduvian Section of the Workers' International.

Socialism in Burland originated in the late 19th century with the Diehlites, a radical social and political movement of Burish farmers led by Werner Diehl.  The Diehlites were closely connected to the Church of Burland, whose radical theology had long conflicted with the more conservative denominations of western Valduvia. The Diehlites were opposed to what they considered to be the marginalization of Weranian speakers by the Valduvian Empire, and sought to create a society based around self-sufficient agrarian communes. The Diehlites were incorporated into the broader Valduvian councilist movement after the Great Collapse, and the Diehlite Uprising of 1921 is widely considered to mark the start of the Valduvian Revolution.
