Premise
Where this draft begins.
The path to another order must already embody its values. Reforms become revolutionary when they permanently democratise power and build new common capacities.
Political direction
What should concretely change.
- 01
Immediately expand cooperatives, municipal councils and public commons.
- 02
Judge reforms by shifts in power, not only by short-term performance.
- 03
Connect counter-power in workplaces, neighbourhoods and knowledge institutions.
- 04
Equip every transitional institution with rights, accountability and revision points.
Safeguards
What must not be lost.
No endless emergency and no freedom postponed until later.
Pluralist opposition remains legitimate.
Successes and harms are measured publicly and corrected.
