The Essence of Radical Wisdom
The heart of inexhaustible compassion, stirred by profound and timeless wisdom, sees deeply into all aspects of human nature and finds them to be essentially dream-like. With this insight, anguish and despair are overcome.

Reality beyond all appearances is sublime emptiness, emptiness manifests itself as perpetually changing reality. Transient reality is not different from emptiness and sublime emptiness is not different from reality. Consciousness, sensation, perception, emotion and cognition are intrinsically like this.
.........................................

Liberty; freedom from all forms of domination and tyranny, hierarchies, class exploitation and oppression, through freedom of speech and association, popular education, self-organization, civil disobedience, effective creative resistance, boycott and direct action, with synchronization and tactical coordination when necessary, to attain universal social-ecological justice, equality and maybe electoral defeat/victory through eco-socialism and/or eco-feminism.

Solidarity; rational tolerance, social equality, voluntary cooperation, egalitarian relationships, mutual respect and empathy amongst men and women of all individual abilities, hereditary roots and race, ethnicity, origins and gender orientations. We can create worker solidarity networks that include the unemployed and non-unionized workers. We need to build people’s unions, dual power structures and alternative institutions rooted in community struggles. We can organize ourselves and motivate each other to prepare for a revolutionary general strike (worker, student and rental) with (hopefully peaceful and productive) occupations of workplaces and squatting of vacant residential buildings and land.

Collectivity; self-organization and determination through inclusive and direct democracy in workplace collective / cooperative councils, residential, neighbourhood or land-sharing collective / cooperative consumption and distribution councils, with each person able to participate in policy-making in proportion to the degree that they are affected, having equal voting power in all decisions affecting them. Collectives / cooperatives could exchange services or trade as directly as possible with autochtonomous collectivities, other eco-social individuals, collectives / cooperatives, from unionized / ecosocially syndicated industrial producers and through Certified Fair Trade. Collectives would want to stay small enough (5-20 people maybe) to facilitate friendly discussion, coherent debate and consensus, while avoiding the natural formation of competing elites that dominate larger groups. If collectives exceed their capacity they can create independent collectives remaining open to people committed to ecological and social harmony in the community. Local collectivities can organize inclusive neighbourhood or village assemblies that propose and vote on all local issues. Neighbourhood assemblies could include every adult resident who wants to participate, consisting of 200 full-time residents over the age of fifteen. These could form semi-autonomous neighbourhood networks / villages consisting of maybe one to ten thousand adult residents that could choose delegates to meet regularly with those of other localities.

Communality; federated township / village networks or municipalities of maybe 1 000 000 citizens, various non-hierarchical collectives, affinity groups and other eco-social organisations functioning as production, distribution and service cooperative organisations, establishing autonomous municipal / township communes with collective control of land, natural resources and means of production. This may necessitate democratic and strictly voluntary coordinated and armed defence of social revolution during political upheaval should it become violent, to bring about communalism through social ecology. In every municipality or township, people could elect a congress of delegates hopefully subject to immediate recall, forming coordination and administration committees with regular rotation of posts, organizing decision and policy-making that effect large numbers of people. This will involve working out some kind of provisional regional constitution with other autonomous communes with (provisional) legislation that could be decided by at least three quarter majority votes through acceptable forms of referenda subject to timely and periodic revision, upholding revisable non-authoritative juridical policy based on necessity, proposed by those concerned and decided in neighbourhood assemblies. Certain committees could have specific (limited) mandates for administrating truth, restoration, reconciliation, with fair adjudication, non-punitive measures and rational enforcement of legislation. All bureaucratic aspects of communal self-government must be reduced to the bare minimum so that they can eventually dissolve completely. Economic decentralization and sustainable subsistence can be achieved by collectively organised communitary provisioning, service exchange, barter, numeric credit and other honor systems. Most non-essential products could be produced locally and with local resources, given the appropriate tools and technology.

Universality; regional to global confederation of autonomous communes with open borders subject only to ecological constraints. Workers' organisations, mutual aid associations and fully democratic institutions with recallable delegates that have limited mandates, elected by their municipalities for transparent administration in matters requiring regional to global levels of coordination, such as disease prevention and disaster relief as well as the monitoring and defence of an 'Earth Charter' that negates private property (discerned from personal, collective and communal belongings) and nation-state (discerned from place of origin and cultural roots). It can encompass guidelines for transperant, egalitarian, participatory democracy and insist on bringing about universal access to clean water, uncontaminated soil, sufficient food, adequate shelter, essential clothing, decent sanitation, medicine, integral health care services and education, solar and wind generated electricity, communications networks, and public transportation, as well as fair access to clean fuel technology, mass produced tools and machines, means of mass production and recycling that can hopefully eliminate all waste and ultimatley all undesirable labour. This would be possible if the vast majority of those willing were able to voluntarily participate in a coordinated effort, for roughly 1000 hours of cooperative work each year, including most organizational work. It is vital to build a dynamic dual power solidarity economy based on human justice, while capitalism remains dominant. Additional effort and sacrifice can be remunerated through non-hierarchical collective and syndical iteration. The 'Participatory Economics’ model does not ignore, oversimplify or underestimate the extremely destructive resilience and complexities of capitalist globalisation / corporate facism. It promotes equality, diversity, solidarity and efficient autogestion and could help to build a global mutual aid confederation. Workplace councils and non-hierarchical syndical committees would stipulate with consumer collectives through neighbourhood, municipal and regional distribution committees, establishing socially and ecologically indicative exchange values while insuring universal access to all necessities. Every able person could choose from virtually unlimited educational options and balanced job arrangements. Every industry would have to respect local, municipal, regional and global standards for social and ecological justice. This dynamic participatory economy beyond borders, through genuine solidarity, can naturally adapt to ecological and cultural differences amongst communes and regions without creating dangerous political tension. Municipal or township communes would gradually become loosely connected, ecologically integrated village networks in regionally shared wild spaces and parkland commons. We need to build a rational and ethical society with life based on truth; affirming, nurturing and preserving humanity, diversity, and community.
