Get the communikate mug.A form of hex performed by Etsy spell-casters. It is a jar containing off-putting items and liquids, such as rotting plants or dirt. Buyers place orders to have the name and information of a target (usually an enemy) written down and put into the jar. This is supposed to "curse" the target.

Get the Community Sour Jar mug.The theoretical end-goal of Marxist thought: a stateless, classless society where true, direct democracy flourishes because the coercive apparatus of the state has "withered away." Administration of things would replace government over people, with decisions made by free associations of producers. No large-scale society has ever achieved this; it remains a utopian ideal. References to it in existing states are usually considered propaganda to legitimize authoritarian party rule.
Example: In the sci-fi culture of Iain M. Banks' The Culture, a post-scarcity anarchist society managed by benevolent AIs, you see a fictional approximation of Communist Democracy. There is no state, money, or hierarchy, and decisions are made through continuous, nuanced plebiscites and AI mediation—a vision of direct democracy made possible by abundance and technology.

Get the Communist Democracy mug.An umbrella term for democratic models that root political legitimacy and decision-making processes in pre-existing or intentionally formed communities, defined by geography, ethnicity, workplace, or shared interest. The community, not the abstract individual citizen, is the primary political actor. This approach often emphasizes consensus-building and cultural traditions over majoritarian voting.
Example: Many Indigenous governance systems, such as the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) Confederacy’s Grand Council, operate on principles of Community-Based Democracy. Representatives (sachems) from each clan and nation deliberate with a mandate from their community, aiming for consensus in a system deeply tied to cultural and spiritual practices.
