This model has three distinct layers, and separating them is the whole point.
Externally, there’s the economic layer: we operate legally inside capitalism—buy land, sell goods, use markets, ports, rail, and contracts. Markets are treated as infrastructure, not as a moral system. Profit exists, but it has no authority.
Internally, there’s the social layer: land, housing, and production are collectively owned by the people who live and work there. Decisions are made locally, roles rotate, authority is tied strictly to function, and no one can turn money, urgency, or personality into power. If agreement fails, nobody is forced—either actions split or nothing happens.
Between them is the transfer layer, which is the restraint mechanism. It translates internal decisions into external contracts and logistics, and feeds real-world constraints back to the community. It cannot set strategy, accumulate power, or override decisions. It’s transparent, rotated, recallable, and also coordinates logistics between independent communes without ruling them.
The layers check each other: the social layer controls goals, the transfer layer controls translation, and the external layer supplies resources without governing anything. Money flows inward to reduce harm through collective ownership—housing, food security, infrastructure—not outward into authority.
This isn’t about overthrowing capitalism for its own sake. It starts inside an existing, oppressive system and offers a working alternative that competes on ownership and stability. If it works, people adopt it. If it doesn’t, they leave. That’s how it erodes the system—from the inside, voluntarily, without forcing belief or compliance.
