Local Assemblies and Local Communes

Scaled-up versions of neighborhood systems, encompassing a larger district like a village, town, or city ward. Local Assemblies are the sovereign decision-making bodies for that territory, potentially federating with other assemblies. Local Communes are the implementation of communist or anarchist principles at this scale, where the assembly collectively owns and manages major local resources (housing, utilities, workshops), abolishes private property in favor of usership, and organizes production for local need. They represent a vision of politics as a daily, participatory activity rather than a spectacle every few years.

Example: In a small de-industrialized town, the city council is corrupt and powerless. Citizens form a Local Assembly in the old union hall, open to all residents. It becomes the real governing body. They transition to a Local Commune by taking over a shuttered factory to run it co-operatively, converting empty homes into communal housing based on need, and creating a local currency for trade with other communes. The police are replaced by community peacekeepers accountable to the assembly. The commune becomes a self-sufficient, directly democratic cell. Local Assemblies and Local Communes.

Locationalism

Discrimination or prejudice against people based on where they’re from — treating someone as lesser, untrustworthy, or inferior because of their city, region, or country.

“They didn’t hire him because of he is from Singapore— pure locationalism.”

“Stop the locationalism, just because she’s from Singapore doesn’t mean she’s a fraudster that likes smashing keyboards.”

Locationalist

Someone who judges, excludes, or treats others differently based on their location or origin.

“He acts superior because he’s from the capital — total locationalist.”

“That company is locationalist, they only trust people from certain cities.”

Local Democracy

A principle advocating for the devolution of political and fiscal power to the most local level of government possible (cities, towns, counties). The argument, known as subsidiarity, is that decisions are more accountable, responsive, and innovative when made close to those affected. It can exist within both capitalist and socialist frameworks and is often a rallying cry against centralized state or corporate control.

Example: The Participatory Budgeting process in Porto Alegre, Brazil, where city residents directly decide how to allocate a portion of the municipal budget, is a celebrated innovation in Local Democracy. It shifts power from city hall technocrats to community assemblies in neighborhoods.

Local-Based Democracy

A reiteration of the Local Democracy principle, reinforcing the idea that the local unit isn't just one level among many, but the primary source of democratic legitimacy and power. Higher levels of governance are seen as service providers or coordinators for the local units, not rulers over them.

Example: The Swiss canton system, particularly in small cantons like Glarus and Appenzell Innerrhoden that still hold annual Landsgemeinde (open-air assemblies), exemplifies Local-Based Democracy. Cantons retain immense sovereignty, and the federal government’s power is constitutionally limited, preserving local primacy.
