Many local candidates build campaigns on messaging and fundraising, but some recent successes grow from deeper involvement in community life. A “communitarium”—a community-owned, open-source civic commons—can help residents work together long before elections. It strengthens trust, aligns means with values, and gives political life a place to exist between campaigns.

Why Redefine Socialism?

#SeizeTheMeansOfCommunity

Classical socialism—especially in its Marxist and state-centered variants—tends to treat sociality as either:

- a derivative of economic conditions, or
- something that will naturally emerge once class antagonisms are resolved.

But our project insists that sociality is not a byproduct—it is the substrate.
