Good evening to all.. A continuation on the strategy for the #ParallelSociety , the marriage of #ParallelEconomy , #ParallelTech , and #ParallelLand .
I have discussed this idea of #CLT across several different channels, and I receive similar responses anywhere that I post.
First people ask me what a #CommunityLandTrust is, second why it is beneficial, and then they ask about the management, and challenges that are inherent when plans , and Systems meet humans. Then they always ask.. how?
I will try to answer a few in brief, as long as my inspiration holds. How first.
First let me mention a few words about the Jeffersonian Ward Republic, and something about Panarchism .
Jefferson referred to his idea of the #WardRepublic as "The article nearest my heart,”
The WR is the fulfillment of Small Government, and a proper Constitutional Republic. In fact the WR is also Panarchist, with a Federal Constitution, and the Führerprinzip, (my own slight modification).
To understand the necessity of #Panarchism, it is to also understand the #NaturalValue of #VoluntaryAssociation.
All Races are equal in their Right before God, but they are not equal in program, ability, behavior, preference, and Destiny.
A Political Scheme cannot be One Race fits all, no.. it must be Panarchy. The Constitution, or the NaturalValues, these are based on Universal Truth, and Reason.. free from Knowledge. These are PanRacial, but the operation , and leadership of the Ward itself should be based on the preferences of the members in the CLT Ward.
Individuals should be free to Disassociate themselves from a Ward, (Not losing Ownership) and they may be banished (Not losing Ownership.). All interactions must always be Voluntary. What I am saying is this. People should have the Right to opt out of the State, but they may not opt out of Law, or Constitution. Each Ward should have the Right to choose the requirements for the Ward demographic. Black people with Blacks, Whites with Whites, jew with jew, or they may even choose to remain free from discrimination. Let them gather on Religion, and give @a his Christian Nationalism. As an American & Constitutional movement the ParallelSociety maintains a separation between Church and State, and from Race & State.
The question will of course be asked, what will hold all of these Wards back from aggression towards other Wards? Here we enter the #Agora .
— the Outcaste,
Individual members are part of and subject to the Society, and their own Ward. Likewise the Ward is subject to the Society. And most Economic opportunities come from the relationship between the Ward and the Agora. Individuals may be banished, and likewise individual Wards that are in Rebellion, they may be banished. In which case the inhabitants of the Ward would lose all access to the Agora, and not to mention all Wards in the #ParSoc enter into Mutual Aid, and Protection pacts with all other Society Wards, and organizations.
Therefore there are 3 primary roles of the Society,
first. To maintain the Treasury at a healthy level,
number two to maintain protective assets,
third to solve disputes between Wards, and members of Wards. The Society does not usually involve itself in the admin of the Ward, however as the Supreme Court, the Society helps to deescalate, and to remove Traitors, Thieves, and Saboteurs from leadership, and the Society.
The Society should own all Tech Infrastructure, and Code, even if the code be #ParallelSource the usage should require auth by the Society.
Sure, you are always welcome to leave, but those looking in do not receive the same perks of those on the inside.
If someone leaves by their own decision, they are welcome back at any time, but if they are Banished, then leadership of the Ward, and at times the Society must approve their readmission.
For all time, the Society will be open to all persons — , all classes , sexes, genders, Races, politics, ability, and religion.
This all is a theory of course, and we will not know how well it works, until we experiment with it. Starting with a Single network of tech Cooperatives, a network of barter, and assistance, business networks, and of course our first physical property.
Before our first ward is Created, we will need to establish Expert Teams, we need a team of Lawyers, a team of Designers, Real Estate, Construction, Gardens, Plumbing, Education, Health, Developers, Accountants, and so on.. many many more teams are needed.
Some people should gain access to the Society by work alone, and some may choose to to contribute in other ways for entry.
The key is in placing everywhere exactly where they belong, and to be prepared for people with multiple skills, and assets.
What we need most Right now would be Accountants, Lawyers, Real Estate, Sales, Marketing, and Dev.. As impressions increase, as awareness spreads these people will all come across our path (*God willing).
That is the How , some of it any way.
Next the why.

What happens when the majority of the wards gets subverted and decides to not allow "deplorables" who don't accept their views to trade and banish those wards? What happens when the "society" decides your use of the "tech" isn't acceptable and removes your ability to communicate?
What happens when people decide your system is broken and create their own wards and agora and your "society" gets mad and decides that's not ok?
What happens to my land when I'm "banished"? My children?
You're speaking from this theoretical nonsense place and making laws that you hope will be upheld in a way you envision without the understanding of how they can be abused and congratulations. You created the current thing.
Your hopes and desires are good. Your execution is flawed in a LOT of ways and it won't work the way you want it to, and you will make new laws and patch the boat as best you can, clinging to thag vision, until a generation later you are left with an unrecognizable mess.
No Solution is perfect, and sometimes the Solution that is appropriate Right now, will be wrong in 20 years.
The System outlined above is quite similar to the original version of Americanism, and many of the issues that you bring up have happened, and they will happen to some extent in this system as well, they will happen in all systems,.. The ideal is not Utopia or Perfection.
> What happens to my land when I'm "banished"? My children?
Private property Rights should be protected, and if a person that owns land is banished, then he will maintain ownership of his property, and he may sell it, or allow his non banished family to live in it. He may also be able to remain in the Community, if he does not pose a risk to the other members of the community.. In other words he may be banned from participation in the federation, but removal from the community is not warranted.
> What happens when people decide your system is broken and create their own wards and agora and your "society" gets mad and decides that's not ok?
That is ok.. If they can build it better, and people prefer their systems, then that is good for progress in general. This is the ideal of Panarchism, people should be able to compete with the primary society in terms of business, communities, governance, and currency.
> You're speaking from this theoretical nonsense place and making laws that you hope will be upheld in a way you envision without the understanding of how they can be abused and congratulations. You created the current thing.
Everything is theoretical, until it is not. Every system has flaws, and every system needs to be improved , changed as the flaws manifest.
The core of this is not the Wards, and the Agora, and the Laws.. the Core is the system of Values, and the most important Value is Voluntary Association..
If we accomplish nothing at all, other than normalizing Separation, then it is still a major victory.
> Your hopes and desires are good. Your execution is flawed in a LOT of ways and it won't work the way you want it to, and you will make new laws and patch the boat as best you can, clinging to thag vision, until a generation later you are left with an unrecognizable mess.
What we have today is an unrecognizable mess, and the only solution that I see is organized balkanization (Officially or not) and the Minification of every aspect of the system. Problems are less severe when everything is smaller.
