What Deluism means

The manifesto asks how people could gain more control over the conditions of their lives. This introduction explains the starting point and the main difficulties.

Five steps Open manifesto

Freedom also depends on whether a person has the means to exercise it.

01 · The argument

Five starting points.

These considerations lead towards the institutional proposal. Its implementation raises further questions.

01
We depend on other people
Growing up already depends on other people caring for us. That dependence does not disappear in adulthood. Political institutions should account for it.
02
A right has to be usable
Rights remain abstract when people lack the material and political means to exercise them.
03
A mandate has to end
Delegates receive limited mandates, remain recallable and return exceptional powers after a crisis.
04
Those affected should have a say
Local assemblies decide for themselves and federate for tasks that affect several communities.
05
Work is a political question
People working in a business should have a say in its direction. It must also account for the interests of people outside the workforce.
