Taijitu Socialist Collective

(1/3) > >>

Allama:
When you navigated into the Zocalo did you think to yourself, "Nationalism? Liberal Statists? Pfffffft... wait, where did I put my pipe?"

If so, this is the party for you. Communists, social democrats, and all variations of the much-maligned left-wing hippie are welcome here. Puff puff pass, baby!

Delfos:
I support this message, yet I wish to work in the "Council" which was to serve that purpose.

Lapeirousia:
Maybe we should merge our party into this one?

Allama:
The only categorizing I saw in the Council subforum posts refer to y'all as "Left Libertarian", with which I was unfamiliar until Googling it this morning. I can see a merger being possible. Do you guys subscribe to the "libertarian socialism" school, Steiner–Vallentyne, etc.?

Delfos:
Who? I had to google those names.

Libertarian Socialism is about the same as I was aiming with the Council. Since human rights could be better applied in Taijitu we ought to define them, better than what I posted because some are hard to translate into our "game".

Democracy is a form of government in which all eligible citizens participate equally—either directly or indirectly through elected representatives—in the proposal, development, and creation of laws. It encompasses social, religious, cultural, ethnic and racial equality, justice, and liberty.

Direct democracy wiki
Direct democracy (also known as pure democracy) is a form of democracy in which people decide (e.g. vote on, form consensus on) policy initiatives directly, as opposed to a representative democracy in which people vote for representatives who then decide policy initiatives. Depending on the particular system in use, it might entail passing executive decisions, the use of sortition, making laws, directly electing or dismissing officials and conducting trials. Two leading forms of direct democracy are participatory democracy and deliberative democracy.

Participatory democracy wiki
Participatory democracy is a process emphasizing the broad participation of constituents in the direction and operation of political systems. Etymological roots of democracy (Greek demos and kratos) imply that the people are in power and thus that all democracies are participatory. However, participatory democracy tends to advocate more involved forms of citizen participation and greater political representation than traditional representative democracy.

Open-source governance wiki
Advocates the application of the philosophies of the open source and open content movements to democratic principles in order to enable any interested citizen to add to the creation of policy, as with a wiki document. Legislation is democratically opened to the general citizenry, employing their collective wisdom to benefit the decision-making process and improve democracy.

Council
A council is a group of people who come together to consult, deliberate, or make decisions. A council may function as a legislature, especially at a town, city or county level, but most legislative bodies at the state or national level are not considered councils. At such levels, there may be no separate executive branch, and the council may effectively represent the entire government.

Solidarity
Solidarity is the combination of efforts sensitive to each person's struggle, interests, objectives, standards, and sympathies. Solidarity binding the people together as one, is necessary to the sustainable development of Taijituan society.

Taiji Left Libertarianism
Praxis of political philosophies that promote a non-hierarchical, non-bureaucratic society without the appropriation of any sort of power. We are opposed to coercive forms of social organization, society based on freedom and equality can be achieved through abolishing authoritarian offices that control certain parts of government and subordinate the majority to an owning class or political and autocratic elite. Taijituan Left Libertarianism also constitutes a tendency of thought that promotes the identification, criticism, and practical dismantling of illegitimate authority in all aspects of life. Regarding the set of rules and laws we promote Ad Hoc Praxis, in which legislature, policies, representation and work is seen as questions that can only be resolved in practice through experimentation. "From each according to ability, to each according to need" is the base guide for a society where needs are guided by rational and lawful standards.

I propose (and will subscribe when complete)
This Council and it's membership in freedom of association under participist principles and for the tenants described above.
To improve and define Human rights as objectified legal rights. The constitutional rights are not enough, they do not grant the Right of Association or Assembly.
Defend a Participative and Direct Democracy Reform of the Constition by:
- Widening of the legislative branch to constitute a Participatory democracy and it's definition under international understanding as head of state/region;
- Empowering the legislative branch to procure mandates to execute legislation, granting thy all executive powers under certain lawful limitations;
- Setting that The Office of the Delegate is the elected representative spokesperson of the legislative branch thus the region of Taijitu, setting also the adequate processes and limitations such office implies.
