Core Organizational Logic:

Legitimate power flows from bottom-up consensus among equals, with decisions made through egalitarian forums. Inherent dignity and worth of individuals serves as paramount organizing principle, explicitly rejecting hierarchical authority and collective violence as legitimate governance mechanisms.

Systemic Components:

Power Architecture: Diffuse authority residing within communities themselves. Formal leadership positions, when present, are elective and perform service rather than command functions.

Conflict Resolution: Rejects collective violence and militarism as social pathology. Pacifism serves as core tenet with emphasis on mediation and peaceful dispute resolution.

Ethical Framework: Deeply humanistic focus on empathy, individual respect, and care for vulnerable populations including minorities, disabled, and social deviants. Justice system prioritizes rehabilitation over punishment.
