Read in the manifesto · pp. 105–116Liberation, not empire.
Deluism should not grow through coercion, territorial expansion or cultural subordination. Its internationalist purpose is to support oppressed communities in their own liberation and build voluntary bonds of mutual aid.
Local councils connect across existing borders in democratic assemblies. Together they coordinate climate protection, health, disaster relief, education and peace. Global cooperation is built from below and remains accountable to people locally.
Deluism connects the clear naming of racism, capitalism and authoritarianism with radical hope. International labour, peasant, youth and cultural movements make solidarity practical. Art, music and political education create a common language against resignation.
