What if we took matters into our own hands for good?

What if we did away with the political parties that divide us, the parasitic hierarchies that live off us, the irresponsible governments that constantly make problems worse?

What if we put an end to this widespread competition where only the most ruthless and selfish survive?

What if we put an end to the borders and walls that pit human beings against each other and turn them into enemies or monsters?

What if we put an end to the rampant plundering of the Earth and all living things, which is leading us straight to disaster?

What if, instead of suffering, we started believing in ourselves again? – In our ability to rebuild a shared world where everyone can find their place, live with dignity, and rediscover the joy of life that is slipping away from us every day?

This is what the communalist project can contribute. Not as a program imposed from above, but as a path to be traced together. A living project, built from the ground up, in our neighborhoods, our villages, our places of life and work.

The first requirement? Establish popular assemblies everywhere. Places open to all, where we decide together on issues that directly affect us. Where we discuss, debate, dream, and act. Where we forge bonds of solidarity, share knowledge and resources, and take care of each other and our common environment.

These assemblies would not remain isolated: they could connect, help each other, and unite. They would form a horizontal network, a living federalism, rooted in the local but open to the world. Not a power that crushes, but a network that strengthens.

Assemblies operating in direct democracy while seeking the broadest possible consensus, so that decisions strengthen bonds rather than create new divisions.

Let us relearn how to live together and no longer against each other: this is the first condition.

September 10 could be the starting point. Not just a day of anger, but a moment of encounter and decision. An opportunity to turn slogans into discussions, discussions into actions, and actions into concrete changes.

We don’t need permission to organize. We can start right now, where we are.

Not just to say no to the old world, but to start building the next one:

A world where the moral and communal economy meets real needs, where social justice is concrete, where communotechny liberates, where all forms of domination—capitalism, patriarchy, racism, ableism, authoritarianism, etc.—are fought against. A world where mutual aid, complementarity, and collective intelligence replace competition and alienation.

This movement will be what we make it. But we already know what can guide it: dignity, freedom, equality, solidarity, respect for life.

So, starting on September 10, let’s start popular assemblies everywhere.

Long live the Commune! Long live direct democracy!
