Neighborhood Assemblies and Neighborhood Communes

Direct, face-to-face democratic institutions where residents of a local area (a neighborhood, block, or housing complex) gather to make binding decisions on matters affecting their immediate community. A Neighborhood Assembly is the general deliberative body—the town hall for local issues. A Neighborhood Commune is the more radical form where this assembly assumes direct political and economic control, managing shared resources (gardens, tools, childcare), security, and dispute resolution, often operating on principles of consensus and mutual aid. They are laboratories of hyper-local self-governance, bypassing traditional municipal bureaucracy.

Example: After the city repeatedly fails to repair a dangerous intersection, residents of the Oak Street block form a Neighborhood Assembly. They meet monthly in a garage. They vote to install a community-funded traffic calming plan. This evolves into a Neighborhood Commune: they pool money to buy tools for a communal garden in a vacant lot, organize a rotating schedule for elderly care, and run a local security patrol. They've created a micro-polity based on direct participation, making the city government largely irrelevant for their daily lives. Neighborhood Assemblies and Neighborhood Communes.

Neighborhood Democracy

A hyper-local model where the primary unit of political power is the neighborhood or block. Residents in a small, geographically bounded area meet in regular assemblies to make decisions on local issues (parks, traffic, zoning) and elect recallable delegates for city-wide coordination. It’s a building block for municipalist movements, aiming to reclaim the city street-by-street from impersonal bureaucracy and developer capital.

Example: The Zapatista communities in Chiapas, Mexico, organize their governance around autonomous municipalities where villages (neighborhoods in a rural sense) hold assemblies to make decisions. While part of a larger revolutionary structure, this foundation in direct, local decision-making is a form of Neighborhood Democracy.

neighbourhood dog

Australian slang for snitch. A peice of shit who lives next door to you in your

neighbourhood that dopes on you to the council or police over stupid things that don't matter or affect them. They are gutless maggots who will avoid you and dope you in if your music is too load instead of asking you politely to turn it down.

Me: the neighbourhood dog accross the road dobbed us into the council be the grass in our front lawn was getting long.

Nextdoor neighbour: you're kidding me right, if he wanted to dob on us maybe we could give him a reason, let's go over there and break his fucking jaw and crack his rips!

Me: I like the sound of that butnah better not we might end up in jail lets just throw trash on his front door and put dog shit in his mailbox.

Next door neighbour: good idea!

"She really out-Neithed herself."

Neither

Your God isn't in charge of shit here because you take the things you read and then add little tweaks to everything and now your God is just a Frankenstein comprised of these asshole incest cultists saying to themselves "Well the book SAYS this... But REALLY he mean WHAT I THINK INSIDE OF MY OWN MIND INSTEAD..."

Hym "Neither. Your God isn't in charge of anything and if he is in charge then he is actively murdering children with aids and bugs and tumors... And they Jews. He's using the Jews as an instrument of death to starve and genocide people... But, conveniently enough, he's protecting the Jews and the Jews don't have to be slaves AND we all have to love the Jews or we're not allowed to make any money and instead the Jews own our minds and the contents of our minds and they can make money of those things without having to do it in the absence of our input. Weird. A weird and convenient jew religion that both rewards not doing what God actually apparently said AND British rapists! It rewards them both!"
