EPILOGUE

This is the end of our journey to find out true communism, not fake or self-proclaimed communism. It may seem like a short journey when written down, but it would become a long journey when put into practice.

On this point, Russian literary giant Dostoyevsky has the main character of his unique controversial work Notes from Underground say something like this. Humans like the process of accomplishing things, but they don't like achieving the goal. That's why the goal always remains a process and ends halfway.

If we look at communist society as a goal for human society, the process to reach it can be said to be a "path." If we roughly divide the paths to communism that have been proposed so far, they can be divided into the following three.

○Second path: from socialism to communism

This is the path that the former Soviet Union and the countries under its influence initially tried to follow, starting from a stage where capitalism was underdeveloped, passing through the stage of socialism/collectivism, where all means of production were concentrated in the state, and then reaching communism. Although it was advertised as leading to a new ideology, it failed mid-way and has now been completely abandoned. This path is considered completely failed, with the state itself having ceased to exist in its headquarters of the Soviet Union and its most loyal ally, East Germany.

○Third path: from socialism to communism (nominal)

This is the path pursued by Western European communist parties (particularly the Italian Communist Party), which broke with the second path, ran into the wall of the reality of advanced capitalist development, and effectively merged into capitalism through participation in the capitalist parliament. It was also called "Eurocommunism," but in reality it was abandonment midway and a way to nominal communism. 

On the other hand, the Chinese Communist Party, which initially followed the Soviet Union's example and followed the second path, has achieved considerable results by steering toward embedding a market economy within socialism under the doctrine of a "socialist market economy." This can also be called "Chinocommunism," as it is tacitly meant to be the Chinese version of the third way that merges with capitalism, but in reality it is a shelving of communism.

○First path: From capitalism to communism

This is the path to communism originally proposed by Marx, in which the transition to a communist society begins when capitalism reaches its limits.

It may seem out of order to list the first path last, but in reality, this is the path that has literally never been tried anywhere in the world, and it is exactly the path that this series proposes. In that sense, I decided to bring this one last. 　

It can be said that the second path failed by taking a shortcut on the first path, and the third path avoided the first path and essentially merged with the path to capitalism. In that sense, the first path is the main road to communism. That is why it is the most difficult path, and precisely because it is so difficult, the temptation to take the second and third paths arose. 　

I must confess that I myself am by no means naively optimistic about the possibility of realizing a communist society. This is because the path to abolishing the monetary economy and state that humanity has built over thousands of years will not be a smooth one. To make this possible, we may need a new kind of "evolution" in the biological sense, rather than will or effort in the usual sense. 　

As with other living things, changes in the habitat are what promote this new evolution of humans. In order to adapt to the global environment, which is currently deteriorating, the path to communism is the only essential solution, rather than some small-minded technological "environmental countermeasures." When most people in the world realize this principle, the path to communism will be seriously pursued.　

This series is a kind of blueprint in preparation for that moment, which the author predicts will arrive within half a century, and is not like a gospel. It is, after all, a blueprint that serves as a starting point for foreseeing the future communist society. 　

In the first place, communism cannot be a doctrine preached by a single guru; it is itself a communal project in which everyone works together to create the future. Doctrinal books like scriptures are not suitable for this. 　

As a writer who won't live for another half century, I very much hope that the next half century will see the birth of theories and movements that will use this series as a foundation, but will not water down or distort its contents, but will improve, update, and even surpass them.

Chapter 10: Towards the World Commonwealth

4. Permanent peace is established.

4.1. Abolition of armaments

As mentioned in the previous section, the culmination of the United Nations Deconstruction Plan is the renunciation of war and the establishment of permanent peace on a global scale. This will probably be the most difficult hurdle.

In this regard, the current UN Charter has "abandoned" the renunciation of war from the beginning, and focuses exclusively on "collective security." In fact, in some cases, the UN itself does not deny the possibility of organizing a UN force and starting a war. Here, the essential limitations of the existing UN system are exposed.

The limit lies in the fact that the UN is nothing more than a federation of sovereign states. Moreover, since national sovereignty traditionally includes the right to engage in war and the right to maintain standing armies to physically secure it, a sovereign state system from a military perspective is a truly bizarre system where peoples of each country intimidate each other with thier own tanks, battleships, and fighter planes. 

In contrast, upon its founding, the World Commonwealth prohibits each zone that constitutes the Commonwealth from possessing armaments and standing armies in accordance with its Charter. As a result, each zone is obligated to completely dismantle the military and similar armed organizations it had when it was called a nation. In this way, a system of permanent peace cannot be built unless all armaments, including not only nuclear weapons but also conventional weapons, are abolished.

However, even under the communist World Commonwealth, it may be difficult to completely eliminate conflicts between and within zones. This is because, even if the World Commonwealth abolishes sovereign states and realizes world integration, it will not be completely omnipotent to the extent that it can wipe out all the discord and conflict between peoples.

4.2. Judicial resolution and conflict mediation/peacemaking

It is clear from the UN's historical experience that using force to deal with conflicts that may inevitably arise will not essentially resolve them. Therefore, the World Commonwealth will provide a system of conflict resolution that does not rely on force. The system is two-tiered.

The first stage is a judicial resolution. Specifically, it is an transnational judicial system consisting of a first trial by the Judicial Committee of the grand-zonal Commons' Convention and a second trial by the World Commonwealth Judicial Council.

The reason why judicial resolution itself has such a two-stage approach is that it is appropriate for regional disputes to be resolved first within the five grand zones that encompass the disputed area, and for the World Commonwealth to be responsible for the appellate hearings.

This judicial resolution has the power of enforcement, so it should normally settle the matter. But in the unlikely event that the issue is not resolved and is resurfaced, or if a highly urgent conflict occurs that cannot wait for a judicial resolution, the next step is to engage in conflict mediation/peacemaking by the World Commonwealth Peace Council.

Recognizing the occurrence or imminent danger of a dispute occurring, the Peace Council first appoints the Emergency Mediation Team made up of dispute resolution experts who belong to neutral zones that are not the parties to the dispute (including potential parties), and strive to resolve disputes promptly.

Even if this mediation is successful, in order to prevent recurrence and monitor the implementation of the mediation, the Peacemaking Group consisting of personnel who have received specialized training under the Peace Council will be kept in place. They will be able to be dispatched to conflict areas at any time based on the resolution of the Council.

A certain amount of armed personnel may be required to ensure the safety of Peacemaking Group's activities, but it is sufficient that they are not soldiers but specially trained security personnel. A peacekeeping police force called the World Commonwealth Peacekeeping Patrol will be established as such a special security organization.

4.3. The Peacekeeping Patrol and the Aerospace Guard

The above-mentioned World Commonwealth Peacekeeping Patrol has the status of a subordinate organization of the Peace Council and carries out its duties under the direction of the council. Although it is similar in character to the existing United Nations peacekeeping force, it is not organized for individual conflicts, but is a permanently established armed organization. 　

Moreover, unlike the United Nations peacekeeping force, which is assembled from the militaries of each country, the World Commonwealth Peacekeeping Patrol is a formal standing organization with a uniform number of full-time personnel. The training of personnel will be entrusted to each zone accordingly, and training schools will be established in major zones. Candidates who complete the training school are commissioned as officers, but in order to become senior officers they must undergo a separate education and training course. However, unlike the military, there is no rank designation, only a hierarchical relationship based on the position of each unit or department. 　

The Peacekeeping Patrol is basically a ground force, but it should also have a limited marine force. This is not a so-called navy; its role is maritime patrol, which involves cracking down on pirates and conducting maritime rescues on the High Seas, which are beyond the jurisdiction of each zonal coast guard. 　

On the other hand, peacekeeping operations cannot use war methods such as air strikes, so it can be said that an air force is unnecessary.

However, there are many challenges such as dealing with meteorites coming from space, and dealing with contact and attacks from higher intelligent life forms that may be living on other planets - although this is probably limited to the realm of science fiction imagination at this point. It may be worth considering forming the World Commonwealth Aerospace Guard specializing in aerospace defense functions, separate from the Peacekeeping Patrol, to provide vigilance in outer space in anticipation of such possibilities. In terms of its equipment, organization, training of personnel, etc., it will largely conform to those of the Peacekeeping Patrol, some parts may be similar to the current Air Force.

4.4. Breaking away from the munitions economy 

By the way, some may think disarmament will be possible in the future even under the current United Nations system. But that is not possible. Why can't the world take steps toward disarmament?

None of the major countries in the world today has embarked on a complete demilitarization policy. This is not because each country is bellicose in its sentiments, but rather because of the structure of capitalism.

A capitalist economy provides a munitions economy that responds to the nation's military needs. The military-industrial complex, a joint public-private sector, is responsible for this munitions economy. The munitions economy constitutes the second economic sector to the civilian economy, which is the first economic sector of capitalism.

There is a black market for contraband goods such as drugs and counterfeit goods as the third economic sector of capitalism, if weapons were flowing on the black market, there would be an underground connection between the second and third economic sectors.

Now, the products handled by this second economic sector of capitalism, the munitions economy, are special items called weapons that are used to efficiently kill and injure large numbers of people. This high-value item, which has an immoral use value but is in demand regardless of boom or bust, serves as a safety valve and complements the private demand economy, which is the unstable primary economic sector that is directly affected by business cycles. In other words, the "goods of life" is supported by the "goods of death" from behind the scenes.

In addition, from the perspective of the labor economy, the standing army that supports armaments replenishes personnel regardless of the economic situation, so it can also serve as a kind of adjustment valve for unemployment measures that absorbs unemployed or potentially unemployed people. 

In this way, the capitalist economy has internalized the munitions economy as an inseparable component. This second economic sector, the munitions economy, achieved dramatic growth during the Cold War era when East and West were engaged in a frenzied arms race, but even with the end of the Cold War, rather than shrinking, it has proliferated.

As weapons become more high-tech, the scope of the military industry has expanded from the narrowly defined munitions industry, which manufactures weapons themselves, to the high-tech industry that develops information and communication technology that is installed in weapons and constitutes command systems. In addition, in recent years, with the aim of improving the efficiency of military services themselves, the outsourcing of some military services, including combat, to the private sector has become widespread, and service industry-type military demand, such as private military service companies, has also emerged.

In the post-Cold War world, where the crisis of world war between major powers has receded for the time being, business opportunities for the military industry are expanding due to the increasing number of dispatches of troops to localized regional conflicts. For munitions capital, even small wars are an opportunity to test the performance of its products, so they need their customers, the sovereign states, to go to war from time to time. War is also a business. War is also a business. It may be a very unscrupulous phrase, but this is the reality of "goods of death." 

It can be said that nuclear weapons, which are the ultimate "goods of death," are another face of capitalism, along with automobiles. It is no coincidence that automobiles and nuclear weapons are the specialties of the United States, the capital of capitalism. From here, the unreality of all peace theories and movements that are not based on the capitalist economic structure becomes clear. This is because the idea of renouning war and abolishing standing armies without touching the capitalist economic structure ends up being an idealism like Kant's theory of permanent peace.

In order to establish the permanent peace, which Kant rightly speculated on, as not just an idealistic idea but as a real world order, it is essential to break free of the shackles of the munitions economy by transitioning from capitalism to communism.

Chapter 10: Towards the World Commonwealth

3. Deconstruct the United Nations.

3.6. Non-bureaucratic management

Fifth, the management system mainly run by diplomats should be abolished. 　

Currently, the representatives of each country at the UN are UN ambassadors, who are diplomats dispatched by member states, but as a result, the UN is run mainly by diplomats, and together with its own bureaucratic secretariat, it forms a UN bureaucracy.　

On the other hand, the World Commonwealth General Assembly, which is the highest decision-making body of the World Commonwealth, is the World Commons' Convention itself, which is also a transnational organization of Commons' Conventions-hence its official name is the World Commonwelath General Assembly - World Commons' Convention.

As a general rule, one delegate of the World Commonwelath General Assembly shall be selected by the Commons' Convention of each zone. Through this, the will of the people in each zone is indirectly reflected in the appointment of delegates. 

At the same time, in order to promote smooth discussions and resolutions in the World Commonwealth as a world community, small-scale zones promote integration with surrounding zones (joint zone), and from the joint zone, in principle, only one joint delegate from the joint zone may participate in the General Assembly on a rotating basis.

On the other hand, civil society organizations (including a wide range of medical, welfare, and academic organizations) that enter into observer agreements with the World Commonwealth are authorized to send observers to the World Commonwealth General Assembly and Councils, and to participate in discussions and make comments.

Moreover, the bureaucratic secretariat function must also be broken down. As mentioned above, positioning the Five Grand-zonal Representatives Conference, as a permanent responsible body of the World Commonwealth is part of this effort. 

The duties of the Secretariat are limited to practical assistance to the General Assembly and the Five Grand-zonal Representatives Conference, and coordination among other organs of the World Commonwealth. The Secretariat itself is not a principal organ like the UN Secretariat, and its Executive Director does not have any political voice.

3.7. Promotion of economic integration

Sixth, economic integration should be increased. 　

Although the current Economic and Social Council of the UN is a principal organ, it hardly functions effectively in relation to economic issues; rather, specialized agencies such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank have become dominant as the control tower of international capitalism. 

On the other hand, when it comes to global environmental issues, which the UN considers to be an urgent issue, the UN itself does not have a major organ, and only the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) exists as a subsidiary organ of the General Assembly. 　

In contrast, from the perspective of environmental sustainability, the World Commonwealth will establish the Sustainability Council as an principal organ with jurisdiction over both environmental and economic policies, and as its specialized body, will establish economic institutions such as the World Economic Planning Organization to promote global economic integration toward global communism. On the other hand, the Social and Cultural Council, which has jurisdiction over health and education, will be a separate principal organ.

3.8. Strengthening the human rights protection sector

Seventh, the human rights protection sector should be significantly strengthened. 　

In 2006, the UN established the Human Rights Council as a new subordinate body of the UN General Assembly in an effort to improve its human rights protection sector to a certain extent, but no independent human rights review and enforcement body has been established and the enforcement system for human rights treaties remains inadequate. The UN' s general recommendations, which are non-binding, are often openly ignored by states parties to human rights abuses. 　

In contrast, the World Commonwealth will establish the Board of Human Rights Review and Enforcement as a major independent institution and strengthen the human rights guarantee system through human rights review of individual cases with enforcement power based on various human rights treaties.

Furthermore, if the human rights violation reported to the Board of Human Rights Review and Enforcement falls under the category of a crime against humanity, the Board will establish the Special Humanitarian Tribunal based on the decision of the Board to clarify the full details of the crime against humanity and sanction those involved. 

3.9. Improvement of Earth observation system

Eighth, a scientific earth observation system should be developed. 　

In recent years, the UN has been actively working on the issue of climate change, but because it does not have its own permanent observation organization, the prestige of its official environmental scientific views is still wavering. 

In contrast, the World commonwealth will set up "Global Environmental Observatories" at key locations, staffed by geoscientists from all over the world as full-time or advisory staff, so that they can always provide prestigious environmental scientific knowledge to the whole world, and can carry out constant fixed-point observation of the global environment.

3.10. Renunciation of war on a global scale

Ninth, we must renounce war on a global scale, and as material guarantees for this, we must abolish armaments and standing armies throughout the world.

Of these, the former main issue will be discussed in the next section due to the scale of the problem, but here I will touch on the latter related issue. 　

Traditionally, space exploration has been carried out competitively between the United States and the Soviet Union since the Cold War era, with military considerations attached to it, and even today, after the end of the Cold War, the race for space exploration by technologically advanced countries has combined national interests with economic considerations. 　

However, under communism, outer space, including other celestial bodies, belongs to no one any more than land and natural resources on Earth. Space outside the atmosphere cannot even be said to be the common property of Earthlings, much less should it be a battlefield.　

Still, since space exploration itself is a matter related to the common academic interests of Earthlings, the World Commonwealth as an organization responsible for peaceful space exploration, will integrate space research institutions that are currently separated by each country and establish the World Commonwealth Space Agency.

3. Deconstruct the United Nations.

3.1. The human-historical experience of the United Nations

I mentioned earlier that the World Commonwealth has some similarities with the United Nations (UN), but in reality, the World Commonwealth can be said to be a communist model of dismantling and reconstructing the UN, and that it does not simply negates the UN. 

However, the UN will never be able to escape the essence of an international order  which was formed under the leadership of the victorious Allied Powers in World War II and centered on them. Moreover, the division between East and West within the five major powers of the UN throughout the Cold War and post-Cold War periods has hindered its functioning.

Despite these flaws, the UN system is a unique experience in human history and deserves to be more highly valued. This is because there is no precedent in human history for a federation like the UN, which covers almost the entire globe, to have survived for more than half a century. Even in the midst of the Cold War, which divided the world into two, the UN withstood the elements without completely collapsing.

The World Commonwealth is built on the valuable human-historical experience of the UN. However, due to its inherent limitations, the UN is bound to reach an impasse. Through dismantling and reorganization of the UN, the World Commonwealth will emerge. Below, I would like to take a look at the structure of the World Commonwealth in comparison with the existing UN.

3.2. A community of humanity

First, we must strengthen our ties as a community of humanity, not just a federation of nations.

As a terminological guarantee for such a community, Esperanto will be made the temporary official language, and Monda Komunumo will be the official name of the World Commonwealth in Esperanto. 

Furthermore, in place of the Gregorian calendar, which has traditionally been the de facto common calendar throughout the world, a new calendar system (World Commonwealth calendar) will be used, with the year in which the World Commonwealth Charter takes effect as the first year. However, each constituent entity of the World Commonwealth is free to adopt its own calendar system, including the Gregorian calendar.

3.3. Five grand zones

Second, the management centered on the five major powers (US, UK, France, Russia, and China) should be abolished.

In place of the rule of the five great powers, the World Commonwealth  will have the Five Grand-zonal Representatives Conference as its permanent executive organ. Here, the five grand zones refer to the following five connected regions on the earth. 

○Pan-African-South Atlantic zone

:Includes the sphere of the African continent and surrounding Atlantic islands

○Pan-European-Siberian zone

:Includes all of Europe and the sphere belonging to the current Russian Federation, excluding Far East Siberia.

○Pan-Western Asia-Indian Ocean zone

:Includes the spheres of West Asia, Central Asia, and South Asia

○Pan-Eastern Asia-Oceania zone

:Includes the spheres of Southeast Asia, East Asia, and Oceania.

○Pan-American-Caribbean zone

:Includes the spheres of North America, Central and South America, and the Caribbean

A grand-zonal Commons' Convention will be established in each of the five grand zones mentioned above, and will serve as a forum for determining regional political and economic policies within the grand zone and for intra-regional cooperation.

Delegates to the grand-zonal Commons' Convention are from the local areas or the quasi-zones within the zones included in the grand zone. The Commons' Convention of the local areas or the quasi-zones shall elect one person as a delegate to the grand-zonal Commons' Convention from among its own delegates.

Although it may seem complicated to elect delegates to the grand-zonal Commons' Convention not for each zone but for each local area or the quasi-zone, it is important to note that the five grand zones are a regional alliance of inclusive zones. This is a device to prevent the region from becoming a mutually competitive political and economic bloc, while at the same time deepening cooperative relationships within the region at a more local level.

Unlike the Commons' Conventions within the zones, this grand-zonal Commons' Convention adopts a session system, so a chairperson is elected for each session, but apart from that, the Permanent Representative Plenipotentiary who represents each grand zone externally is elected.

This position is not a so-called head of state, and is only a representative of each grand zone in external relations, but unlike the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary position, this is a permanent position elected for a term of approximately four years.

These five grand-zonal Permanent Representatives Plenipotentiary constitute the Five Grand-zonal Representatives Conference, and all important global policies are discussed at this conference. As a result, the international oligarchy system in which decisions are made only by a small number of leaders of major countries over the head of the UN, such as the current summit of leaders of major countries, will be abolished.

3.4. Management focused on the southern hemispher

Third, economic and political management centered on the Northern Hemisphere can be revised. 　

The current UN headquarters and core organs, including the Security Council, are located in New York, and the Human Rights Council is located in Geneva, with all of its central functions concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere, particularly in the United States and Europe. In contrast, The World Commonwealth will become more focused on the Southern Hemisphere, which historically has tended to be subordinate to the Northern Hemisphere. 　

Specifically, the headquarters of the World Commonwealth and central functions, including the Peace Council involved in peacemaking, will be located in one of the cities within the Pan-African-South Atlantic zone. The reason for placing the site in Africa is that Africa has long been a symbol of the North-South problem, and while it is also a conflict-prone region, and that the fact that there are no nuclear weapons on the entire african continent makes it appropriate to be the center of the World Commonwealth.

On the other hand, functions related to human rights will be located in a city in the Pan-American-Caribbean zone, especially in South America. The reason for placing it in South America is to avoid the prejudice that "human rights = Western-centric values," which has often been used as an excuse to justify human rights violations in Asia and Africa. This is because, in addition to the subtleties of South America, which has both Western and non-Western culture, the region's historical experience of voluntarily overcoming the violent military dictatorships that once prevailed makes it suitable as a base for human rights.

3.5. Discussion of world official languages

Fourth, we should change the international language situation, which is biased towards English in fact, and start a discussion about adopting a single, neutral world official language.

Currently, the UN has adopted the policy of plural official languages, which designates six languages as official languages: English, French, Russian, and Chinese, which are the official languages of the five major powers, plus Spanish and Arabic, which are widely spoken. However, it is clear that English is de facto given the status of the basic official language.

On the other hand, the World Commonwealth does not exclude the idiomatic use of English, which has a high prevalence rate, but as a linguistic guarantee of the global human community, it is necessary to create a single, more neutral official language throughout the world. Esperanto, which has the highest prevalence among the planned languages that have been developed as a world language, will be designated as the temporary single official world language in order to open up the possibility for the ethnic groups of the world to communicate on an equal basis. (*)

*The reason why I keep this as a provisional statement is that there remains room for debate as to whether Esperanto, which was developed in Europe, can truly be said to be neutral not only politically but also linguistically. Therefore, the World Commonwealth shall begin discussing whether to confirm Esperanto as the world's official language or to develop a new, linguistically neutral planned language. This may be a difficult question that cannot be easily concluded, but under the current UN system, which is heavily biased toward English, any discussion of the world's official languages is dismissed as a taboo or fantasy.

Chapter 10: Towards the World Commonwealth

2. Make the communist earth.

2.1. Creation of the World Commonwealth

During the Cold War era, if you had mentioned things like global communism, you would have been placed on the surveillance list of Western intelligence agencies, but that would no longer be the case today. I hope so.

Therefore, I can say now that we can bring communism to the entire earth through the domino revolutions, and doing so is necessary for the survival of this earth itself. In particular, in order to achieve global environmental standards to ensure environmental sustainability, a planned economy must be introduced not only at the regional level but also throughout the globe.

In addition, the abolition of national standing armies, which are among the highest in terms of carbon emissions in the public sector, and the almost equivalent global renunciation of war, which is itself an environmentally destructive activity, must also be achieved.

What makes this possible is the creation of the World Commonwealth that has been often mentioned, and this is the ultimate goal of the continuous world revolutions.

2.2. Basic structure of the World Commonwealth

Although the World Commonwealth has some similarities with the current United Nations, the crucial difference in political terms is that the concept of national sovereignty - and therefore, the sovereign states that maintain such sovereignty - will be abandoned.

The current United Nations is characterized by its structure as a federation of member sovereign states, but this is precisely where it has its major limitations. Since each member state reserves the right to act in its own national interest, there is no obligation to ratify not only a simple resolution of the United Nations General Assembly, but even a United Nations treaty that has the nature of international law. Ratification is chosen in the name of national sovereignty and national interests of member states. Sometimes countries do not even comply with the treaties they have ratified.

In contrast, under the World Commonwealth, sovereign states are abolished, and each "country" retains autonomous administration within a certain domain as a zone included in the World Commonwealth, but its administrative power is fully bound by the Charter of the World Commonwealth (World Constitution) and its treaties (World Law).

By adopting this structure, the "territorial issue" that has been the number one cause of war throughout history will also disappear. This is because each zone no longer possesses exclusive "territory", but is only guaranteed a "domain" over which it has relative administrative power.

However, disputes over the scope of the "domain" will continue to exist, and new ones may arise, but all such "domain disputes" will be resolved peacefully only through dispute mediation institutions directly under the control of the World Commonwealth.

By the way, the official name of the World Commonwealth is la Monda Komunumo in Esperanto, which is the provisional official language. We will touch on its significance in the next section.

2.3. Global planned economy

Now, the most decisive difference between the World Commonwealth and the existing United Nations is in the economic aspect. While the United Nations is nothing more than a political union of nations, the essence of the World Commonwealth is that it is a unified economic entity that covers the entire globe.

In other words, it will become possible to globally unify economic policies, which are currently left to each country's sovereignty as an internal matter. Specifically, on a truly global scale, commodity production and monetary exchange will be abolished and replaced with a communist-style planned economy and complementary economic cooperation.

For this purpose, the World Economic Planning Organization is established as a specialized organization directly under the control of the World Commonwealth, and production planning goals at the world level based on environmental standards are presented.

To go into more detail, the World Economic Planning Organization is an organization comprised of multiple world production business associations (for example, World Steel Association, World Automobile Industry Association, etc.) which integrates production business organizations in each zone, focusing on environmentally burdensome industrial fields that are particularly targeted under the regulation of emissions of carbon dioxide and other harmful substances. These world production business associations jointly formulate and implement economic plans at the global level. It can be thought of as a global version of the Economic Planning Conference in each zone.

These global economic plans have the meaning of setting a general framework (cap) for production activities across the globe. This does not mean that discretion in individual economic planning for each zone is eliminated, but once such a cap system is established, each zone's economic planning will be autonomous within the framework of this cap. It will function as a quota.

At the same time, such a planned economy at the global level also procures goods and services that each zone cannot provide itself from nearby sources as much as possible (for example, cars in Africa are procured from nearby Europe rather than from the United States or Japan). It also plays a role in interregional economic cooperation.

In addition, as an economic coordination organization in the food and agriculture sector that does not fit into general economic planning, the World Food and Agriculture Organization, a World Commonwealth specialized agency that succeeds and develops the current Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, will be established. This will enable us to reclaim food and agriculture, which are currently being captured by international capital in the name of free trade.

The disappearance of international commerce, which today is called world trade, will greatly reduce the huge amount of international logistics transportation that characterizes global capitalism, and will also contribute to the regulation of carbon dioxide emissions.

Finally, global communism can also make groundbreaking contributions to the sustainable management of natural resources. In other words, the World Natural Resources Organization, also a World Commonwealth specialized agency, will be established to extract, manage, and equitably supply natural resources, which would become ownerless property along with land under communism, on a global level. It would also be worth considering establishing a separate World Water Resources Organization to conserve water, which is a vital natural resource for all living things, and to provide it hygienically and equitably.

Through these measures, intensive natural resource management that is considerate of the global environment will be realized, and the negative effects of resource nationalism/resource capitalism will be overcome.

2.4. The universality of communism

By the way, when you hear about global communism, you may wonder if it is possible to unify the world's peoples, who have different cultural climates and degrees of economic and social development, under one umbrella of communism.

My answer to this question is as follows. Communism does not impose a particular cultural or development model, but is merely a system of social management centered on production and labor. Therefore, just as the capitalist system has spread globally with considerable universality, it is entirely possible that the communist system will spread as universally or even more universally.

In particular, I believe that being liberated from monetary domination will probably be good news for all peoples in the world. This is because the extremely uneven development between various nations, symbolized by the still unresolved global North-South disparity problem and the South-South disparity problem that has become more prominent in recent years, is precisely due to the disparity in the amount of money held by various nations. 

In this sense, human beings are "nations" with various differences, and before that, they can be a universal "commons" who together aim for communism.

Chapter 10: Towards the World Commonwealth

The ultimate goal of the communist revolution is the World Commonwealth. This means the creation of a literal "global village," not just a sham of words. For the first time ever, permanent peace will come to Earth. How to make it a reality?

1. Make the "Domino Revolutions."

1.1. Marx and Engels' big words

The domino theory once gained popularity as an anti-communist international political doctrine during the Cold War. This is a popular political theory that is notorious for emphasizing the danger of a domino effect of communist revolutions in Asia when justifying military intervention in Vietnam during the Indochina War. However, there are aspects of this domino theory that can be used against it as a revolutionary theory.

As discussed in the previous chapter, a communist revolution could not be achieved by a single country, but could only be successfully completed within the context of a global wave of revolution. 

Marx and Engels in their youth stated that "communism is possible only as an act of the principal peoples all at once and simultaneously," and pointed out that their prerequisites were "the general development of the productive forces and the associated world traffic." Simultaneous world revolution!

When they wrote these words in the mid-19th century, they would have been nothing more than grandiose words, but today, with the great development of transportation and information-communication technology, the idea of a "simultaneous global revolution" is no longer a pipe dream.

It is by no means impossible to create a continuous revolutionary situation in which revolutions occur one after another in a short period of time, at least among major countries. To this end, the starting point is the formation of the World Commons' Convention, a revolutionary network of people aiming to realize a communist society as discussed earlier.

1.2. Geopolitics of revolution

Here, I would like to clarify how the series of revolutions described above can actually occur, and what can be called the geopolitics of revolutions.

First, where will the first fuse of the revolution be drawn? Surprisingly, I would like to answer that it is somewhere in a developed capitalist country. A communist revolution in a country where capitalism is strongly entrenched may seem impossible at first glance, but the more capitalism develops, the more its limitations become sharply and clearly exposed. For this reason, the paradox comes true that the possibility of revolution actually becomes a reality in those countries, especially in the United States. American communist revolution!!

Even "progressive" Americans may take this as a bad joke. However, when Americans themselves realize that America, which is a society with a frontier spirit based on community autonomy and a culture of self-help and mutual aid without dependence on the government, is the best place for the type of communism as described so far-let's call this "free communism" so that it resonates with American people.-, we can expect a series of world revolutions to begin in the United States.

And when that happens, the ripple effect will no doubt be enormous. It will probably spread directly to other developed capitalist countries in the world, such as Europe and Japan, and create a revolutionary wave. From there, just like dominoes, the revolution will continue to flow from the United States to Central and South America, from Europe to Africa and the Middle East, and even to Asian countries, and so on to the less developed capitalist countries.

In these less developed countries, supported by despotic political systems, large land ownership systems and blatant forms of class discrimination often remain, and the potential for revolution has accumulated considerably. We may also see popular uprising-type revolutions in some of these countries.

On the other hand, in emerging capitalist countries (including China, which has a "socialist market economy"), there is still room for capitalist development, and people's expectations for capitalism remain deep-rooted. Therefore, it may not be easy for the revolution to spread.

In fact, the remarkable capitalist economic growth of these emerging countries is seen as the key to economic revitalization through the export of products, services, and capital for developed countries such as the United States, Europe, and Japan, which have seen signs of decline in recent years.

On the other hand, in countries such as Russia and Eastern Europe that have "reverted" from self-proclaimed communism (collectivism) to capitalism, the Great Recession hit just as the symptoms such as the re-emergence of capitalist class disparities and the deterioration of social security systems have already begun to appear.

However, in these countries, even more than disillusionment with capitalism, there remains distrust and even hatred towards the pseudo-communism that the old regime advocated as an empty phrase. A revolutionary revolution will take more than a certain amount of time.

Despite this, the limits to growth will definitely come to emerging countries, including China, which continues to rise. As a result, we will reach a point where global economic growth, led by emerging countries for the time being, will slow down and decline as a whole. If this happens, common recognition of the limits of capitalism will expand globally.

That moment will be the true starting point of the world's continuous revolution, and at that time, the outbreak of communist revolution in the advanced capitalist countries should also serve as a signal for the people of other countries to start.

Chapter 9: THE PROCESS OF THE UNARMED REVOLUTION

6. Communist society begins.

6.1. Early communism

If the temporary confusion during the transition period is minimized and this period is successfully overcome, a communist society will finally begin. This fledgling communist society is the "earliest communist society."

Although this period has passed through the transition period, it is still unstable and a period of change where communist policies are being promoted in earnest. It is difficult to say how long this process will take, but it may be better to allow at least 10 years. The main projects during this period are listed below.

6.2. Abolition of monetary system

The climax of the economic revolution in the earliest communist societies is the abolition of the monetary system. Of course, this does not simply mean abolishing physical money and going cashless, but abolishing the entire monetary system that is forced as a means of exchange, including virtual currencies.(*)  However, there are some points that should be carefully followed.

Originally, it would be ideal to implement this measure simultaneously worldwide through a treaty in order to prevent confusion, so it is desirable to establish the Monetary System Dismantling Mechanism that encompasses the central banks of each zone under the World Commons' Convention, and to provide unified support for the abolition of the monetary system in each zone.

In this process, the total liquidation of financial institutions, especially banks, is essential. To accomplish this task, it is necessary to establish a financial clearing headquarters within each zonal central bank, take over all the clearing companies of each bank and other financial institutions, and organize all accounts. 　

All deposits in these clearing accounts will be blocked and invalidated under the control of the central bank, but withdrawal and return procedures will proceed for accounts held in the names of foreigners (including corporations) in countries that are still under capitalist economies. Furthermore, the central bank will oversee the entire process of abolishing the monetary system, and will eventually be abolished itself. 　

On the other hand, a time lag is inevitable for a revolution to spread throughout the world. Therefore, if trade with countries that have not yet become communist is to continue for the time being, the central bank must hold the foreign exchange reserves necessary for trade settlement. The remaining trade with these unrevolutionized countries will likely be dealt with by merging all trading companies and establishing a provisional "Integrated Foreign Trade Corporation" that will serve as a unified trade window. 　

By the way, a serious problem that may arise if the currency system is abolished is that there may be a rush of foreign tourists trying to acquire goods for free from overseas where the currency system has not yet been abolished. 　

In order to deal with this situation, for the time being, foreigners other than permanent residents and long-term residents for a specified period of time will inevitably be regulated with special provisions that will allow them to purchase goods only at some foreign currency payment stores supervised by the central bank. 

Therefore, in the earliest communist societies, along with the continuation of residual trade, some forms of goods involving monetary exchange continue to remain in foreign relations.

*The target of abolition is the official currency issued by the state. Whether or not we should allow the circulation of private currencies (including virtual currencies) that are issued privately and are valid only in specific trading circles is an economic policy issue. If we consider such private currency transactions as a type of barter, it may be acceptable to include them in the category of barter in the free production and distribution process outside a sustainable planned economy. 

6.3. Start of planned economy

The comprehensive companies that had been prepared during the transition period will be converted into various production and business organizations, and the Preparatory Council on Planned Economy Transition will be officially launched as the Economic Planning Conference, and at the same time the first planned economy (the first three-year plan) will be started. Also in fields that adopt an unplanned, free production system, new production organizations like those seen in Chapter 3 will be launched one after another with the abolition of the joint-stock company system.

6.4. Progress of social revolution

In addition to the economic field, the large-scale social revolutions seen in each chapter will be progressing in various fields such as family, welfare, education, and media. However, changes in these fields may take more historical time than in the economic field, and may not be completed within the process of the earliest communist society.

6.5. Inauguration of the zonal Commons' Convention

The key political system in the earliest communist societies is the formal establishment of the Commons' Convention at the zonal level. In other words, after the promulgation and enforcement of the initial Charter, a lottery will be held for the first term of delegates to the Commons' Convention. 

On the other hand, the Revolutionary Transition Commission, which was the central revolutionary organization during the transition period, changed its name to the Revolutionary Council (hereinafter referred to as "the Council"), and its role is changed to an advisory body to the Commons' Convention.

In other words, the Council is consulted or express an opinions on matters being deliberated by the Commons' Convention, and through this, plays an advisory role to the newly established Commons' Convention. The members of the Council are elected by the Commons' Convention from among those who have contributed to the revolution for a term of approximately six years.

At the same time, local Commons' Conventions will also be officially established.

6.6. Abolition of government institutions

During the transition period, the central government structure that still remained is dismantled, and unified governance by the Commons' Convention begins. Along with this, many former ministries and agencies will be converted into policy think tanks that will report directly to the Commons' Convention, but there are also ministries such as the Ministry of Finance and the National Tax Agency that will share their fate with the abolition of the monetary system.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to exist for the time being as the diplomatic agency (diplomatic headquarters) of the Commons' Convention until the World Commonwealth is officially established, which we will see in the next chapter. But after the establishment of the World Commonwealth, the current diplomatic relations between sovereign states will cease to exist, and will be replaced by the World Commonwealth Liaison Mission, which is the resident representative body of the World Commonwealth.

Also, at this stage, the abolition and conversion of the old local government structure will be completed, and the Commons' Conventions in each region will officially begin their activities.

6.7. Implementation of disarmament plan

The disarmament plan formulated during the transition period will enter the implementation stage. Ultimately, if the Charter of the World Commonwealth officially enters into force and a disarmament treaty based on the Charter is concluded, the process of abolition of standing armies will proceed in accordance with the process mandated by the treaty.

6.8. Establishment of the completed Charter

Once the important steps mentioned above have been completed, the Commons' Convention will take the results into account and begin drafting the completed Charter.

The completed Charter corresponds to the "mature communist society" as a process following the earliest communist society, and the important amendment here is that the Council is abolished and completely integrated into the Commons' Convention. In other words, the Commons' Conventionwill stand on its own, and with this, communist society will finally reach a period of maturity.

In order to finalize this completed Charter, it should be approved by a majority in a direct vote by the people of the zone. However, in federal zones, it would be preferable to require approval by a direct vote of a majority of at least three-quarters of the quasi-zones comprising the federation.

6.9. From mature communism to advanced communism

After passing through this mature communist society, when the majority of society's population becomes a "generation that does not know capitalism," it enters a developed communist society, that is, an "advanced communist society."

At this point, for the first time, will a society with a pure voluntary labor system like the one envisaged in Chapter 3 be realized? We have no choice but to leave this to the wisdom of future generations.

On Communism:Page57

Chapter 9: THE PROCESS OF THE UNARMED REVOLUTION

5. Proceed with the economic transition plan.

5.1. Economic transition plan

The biggest event during the transition period is the transition from a capitalist market economy to a communist planned economy. With the globalization of capitalism, at the time of the revolution, almost all countries will be under a capitalist economic system in name or in reality (in the form of a socialist market economy or implicit market economy). As expected, such an economic transition will inevitably be a major undertaking, and will need to be carried out in accordance with careful planning.

5.2. Integration of core industries

We have already seen that the cornerstone of a communist economy is a planned economy (sustainable planned economy), but it is impossible to shift from a capitalist market economy to a communist planned economy all at once, so we must first develop a planned economy. It is necessary to begin reorganization through corporate integration in target areas. 　

Specifically, in addition to steel, electric power, petroleum, shipbuilding, and the machinery industry, transportation, communications, automobiles, and other fields where a planned economy is planned to be introduced, a single comprehensive structure will be created for the establishment of future production business organizations. 

After that, we will establish the Preparatory Council on Planned Economy Transition, which will be the predecessor of the Economic Planning Conference, and conduct graphical exercises centered on the directors in charge of each umbrella company to actually formulate economic plans. 　

The establishment of companies similar to these umbrella companies also occurs in the general consumption field. It is a comprehensive retail company for each provincial area (or quasi-zone) by merging supermarkets and convenience stores. This is an organization that will become the predecessor of the future consumer business cooperative.

5.3. Preparation for abolition of monetary economy

We have already seen that a true communist economy does not rely on monetary exchange, but the abolition of a monetary economy goes beyond the mode of production and is a major change that can almost be described as civilization-historical transformation. As a result, people's lifestyles will undergo major changes. Therefore, it cannot be implemented all at once and is the core of an economic transition plan that requires a particularly careful process. 　

During the transition period, capitalism, which is based on a chain of monetary exchange, has not been completely abolished, and a considerable portion of it remains (residual capitalism). However, from this point on, it is essential to develop a kind of dry run for adapting to the new economic system of communist economy, which is unknown to most people. 　

In doing so, we will first start with a trial of free supply of consumer goods with acquisition quantity restrictions that does not involve monetary exchange. Especially daily necessities such as food and some miscellaneous useful items. This partial free supply of goods is similar to wartime/disaster rationing, but it is not a temporary measure but a preparatory process for the coming abolition of the monetary economy.

This trial will be conducted throughout the transition period through designated supply points, centered on the comprehensive retail companies mentioned above, and in collaboration with existing agricultural/fishery companies or cooperatives.

5.4. Land revolution

The economic policy during the transition period that causes the most political debate is the land revolution, that is, making all lands bona vacantia (unowned properties) and their transfer to a public management system.

Since this policy is likely to arouse the strongest opposition and resistance, the Transition Commission needs to promptly issue an ordinance to establish the Land Management Agency, proceed with procedures to extinguish private land ownership rights, and develop a system to control the use of force such as land enclosure by former owners. To this end, the Land Management Agency must have their own investigation and security department in addition to legal department.

5.5. Agricultural reorganization

Communist-style agricultural integration centering on agricultural production organizations is linked to the issue of extinguishing ownership of farmland due to land reform, and there is a risk of a strong backlash, so it is necessary to take sufficient transitional measures to foster understanding and trust among farmers.

First, existing farmer federations such as agricultural cooperatives will be consolidated into nationwide agricultural corporation, reorganized as the predecessor organization of the Agricultural Production Organization, and physical and human preparations will be made for agricultural integration. Here, too, we will conduct a graphical exercise of agricultural production planning, following the basic industry sector mentioned above. A similar restructuring process applies to the fisheries sector.

5.6. Announcement and trial

Since the transition economy plan is vast and affects all industries, a document will be distributed to each industry that explains the general picture and specific measures of the transition process to a communist economy, so that they voluntarily encourage the preparation. Furthermore, efforts will be made to alleviate concerns through the provision of information and thorough dissemination of information, such as distributing to all households a pamphlet that explains in an easy-to-understand manner the new mechanisms of production, labor, and life in general under the communist economy. 　

In this way, the economic transition plan aims to minimize the confusion that tends to occur during periods of major change in the socio-economic system, through a combination of provision of information through advance notice and trials including graphical exercises.

Chapter 9: THE PROCESS OF THE UNARMED REVOLUTION 

4. Advance the process of the transition period.

4.1. Preparation for the transition phase process

The greatest mission of the Revolutionary Transition Commission (Transition Commission) is to advance the process of the transition period toward the opening of a communist society. During the transition period, the political and economic turmoil that often accompanies revolutions is expected. How this period can be shortened will determine the success or failure of the revolution.

As a guideline, it is desirable to complete the transition period within 3 to 5 years. In order to make this possible, it is necessary to discuss the transition period in advance within the Commons' Convention and to make careful preparations and plans. 

The most important transitional steps are listed below. However, the economic transition plan will be the most important and most difficult part of the transition period, so I will specifically discuss it in the next article.

4.2. Drafting of the initial Charter (constitution)

As pointed out in the previous chapter, the Transition Commission must aim to establish a constitutional system as soon as possible, but since it is difficult to quickly establish a constitutional system in the face of a large-scale revolution, it is necessary to consider the process separately.

When we say "constitution" here, we must be careful that it is different from the constitution as we know it today. The constitution as we know has the characteristics of a fundamental law of the state that determines the structure of the state. On the other hand, in a communist society, as has been stated repeatedly, the state is abolished, so the constitution cannot be the basic law of the "state."

Instead, the constitution becomes the rules that determine how the people should run society, and these rules are expressed in the form of the "Charter of the Commons' Convention" (hereinafter simply referred to as the "Charter").

There are two processes involved in the enactment of this Charter. The first is the "initial Charter" that corresponds to the earliest communist society - a "newly born communist society" so to speak, and the second is the "complete Charter" that corresponds to the mature communist society after this earliest communism. 

Immediately after the revolution, the Commons' Convention establishes a "Charter Drafting Committee" to work on drafting the first initial Charter. This committee, in collaboration with the World Commons' Convention, which is also the headquarter of the Commons' Conventions in the world, will use the already established Charter of the World Commons' Convention as its source of law, and will carry out the full transitional process with the aim of formulating an appropriate draft Charter. 

Furthermore, under the Commons' Convention system, local Commons' Conventions in each zone are also able to enact their own Charters within the scope of the zonal Charter, so local Commons' Conventions at all levels can proceed with the drafting of Charters.

4.3. Establishment of a republican polity

In connection with constitutional issues, the choice of political regime, which is itself a constitutional issue, is also an important one. A communist political system is essentially a republic, and the system of Commons' Convention requires a transition to a "commons' republican polity" in which the people themselves govern through Commons' Conventions, rather than delegating administration to the president or other chief adminisrator.

Such a commons' republican polity is incompatible with a monarchy or a similar hereditary form of regime. This is an issue related to the existence and abolition of monarchies that have lost their political authority and become symbolic (symbolic monarchies), including Japan's symbolic emperor system.

In conclusion, the symbolic monarchy will inevitably be abolished after the communist revolution. However, the meaning of "abolition" needs to be carefully analyzed.

In other words, what is being "abolished" here is the monarchy as a political system. This can be distinguished from whether or not the royal family itself should be abolished.

Of course, the most thoroughgoing republic would require the abolition of the royal family itself itself. Historically, when a monarchy was overthrown by a popular uprising, the entire royal family was dissolved, sometimes leading to the execution of the monarch (as in the French Revolution and the Russian Revolution).

However, these events are based on the people's hatred of autocratic monarchies, and symbolic monarchies that have long since lost their political authority are not usually the targets of popular hatred. The dissolution of the royal family in a symbolic monarchy, much less the execution of the monarch, would only arouse the sympathy of the people and could provoke a counter-revolutionary uprising among the royalists.

Therefore, when it comes to abolishing the symbolic monarchy, rather than taking a thorough policy of abolishing the royal family as well, it would be wiser to take an incomplete policy of abolishing the monarchy but keeping the royal family alive.

However, the continuation of the royal family only means allowing the ceremonial title of a member of the royal family to continue without any privileges. Therefore, not only will domestic administration departments such as the Royal Households be abolished, but members of the royal family will be encouraged to become ordinary citizens.

4.4. Revolutionary defense

Since the transition period is also a time when counter-revolutionary movements are developed in various forms, building defense of the revolutionary system as the mission of the Transition Commission itself becomes an important policy during the transition period. Regarding this defense of the revolution, we can distinguish between domestic measures and foreign measures.

(a) Domestic measures

Throughout history, domestic revolutionary defense measures have often served as a symbol of human rights violations, creating an image of fear against revolution. In particular, the creation of a political secret police whose direct purpose is to defend the revolution should be avoided, as it creates a breeding ground for human rights violations.

Therefore, instead of relying on the political police for revolutionary defense, we should establish a grassroots revolutionary defense organization with the intention of actively enlightening society about the significance of the revolution and including people in the revolutionary work. That is to say, the Liaison for the Defense of the Revolution (LDR).

In other words, we are not limited to passive revolutionary defense such as collecting information and monitoring the movements of groups and individuals suspected of involvement in counterrevolutionary activities, but we also have to actively provide information on revolutionary policies in the region and building relationships with Commons' Conventions. Furthermore, it is a comprehensive revolutionary defense organization that also carries out public opinion enlightenment for the general public. 

For this purpose, the LDR has staff members (mediators) who are in charge of providing information on revolutionary policies and building relationships in the region, and personnel (publicists) who are responsible for enlightening revolutionary public opinion to the public using the Internet and other information means, and agents who collect information and monitor movements regarding counter-revolutionary activities. (*)

Revolutionary defense through such an inclusive civilian revolutionary defense organization also has the effect of avoiding heavy-handed measures such as mass purges, which have been a staple of previous historical revolutions. As will be explained later, during the transition period, the old government structure still remains, so general civil servants must be preserved for the time being, and it is sufficient to individually dismiss civil servants who clearly engage in counter-revolutionary sabotage. 　

However, in countries where the military has strong political influence, a certain degree of vigilance is required against a military counter-revolutionary coup. To this end, it is necessary to assign a veteran officer with understanding the revolution to the Deputy serving under the Transition Commissioner in charge of peace issues , who controls the military, and to strive to integrate the middle-level officers and below into the revolutionary system.

*Because members of the LDR require a particularly strong belief in the defense of the revolution, they are recruited through selection from suitable candidates rather than through open recruitment.

(b) Diplomatic measures

Historically, many revolutions have involved interference from foreign countries that are afraid of their spread, and this often leads to war. Therefore, it is essential to take diplomatic measures to defend the revolution.

What is important in doing so is the transnational organization of Commons' Conventions. The communist revolution will ultimately be the first of a series of revolutions (domino revolutions) that spread throughout the world to defeat the interference of counter-revolutionary foreign forces and be completed. The domino revolutions, which I will touch on again in the next chapter, are not just "exports of revolution" but a global wave of revolution.

In this sense, the essence of revolutionary defense in diplomatic aspects is the transnational solidarity of Commons' Conventions, which is different from technical diplomacy itself, that is, the existence of the World Commons' Convention. For this reason, revolutions are not unilateral, it is necessary to promote the creation of the World Commonwealth from the beginning.

4.5. Economic transition plan

The transition from a capitalist economy or other market economy system to a communist planned economy is the most important and most difficult event in the transition period, and must itself be guided by careful "planning." Regarding this matter, as announced at the beginning, I will discuss later.

4.6. Transitional administration

Although the state is abolished in a communist society, the old governmental structures still exist in both the central and local areas during the transition period.

During this time, the Revolutionary Transition Commission will be in charge of each administrative field at the central government, while the main ministries will continue their administrative duties for the time being and begin preparations for organizational change toward becoming a policy think tank.

Regarding local administration, in accordance with a special ordinance issued by the Transition Commission, the remaining heads and councilors of all local governments will first be dismissed all at once. In addition, former local governments of wide-area such as prefectures  are transferred to the control of the Provisional prefectural Commons' Convention, and the Commons' Convention will work toward integration into provincial area by dispatching "temporary administrative commissioners" (equivalent to governors) and "deputy temporary administrative commissioners" (equivalent to vice governors). 

On the other hand, in the case of municipalities, the Provisional Municipal Commons' Convention will immediately take control of municipal administration, and for the time being, the chairman of the Commons' Convention will inherit the position of mayor of the municipality, and will carry out reorganization work into communist communes and regional areas.

4.7. Promotion of military abolition plan

What requires attention in the transitional administration is the handling of the military (including armed organizations equivalent to the military). In a communist society, the standing army will eventually be abolished, but this can only be done based on world law (treaties), so until then it is necessary to maintain the military while integrating it into the revolutionary system. However, during the transition period, it is necessary to move forward with plans for total disarmament, not just arms reduction, with an eye toward the future abolition of standing armies.

The manner and scale of the process will be determined strategically, taking into account the domestic and international situation of armed interference from counter-revolutionary countries and counter-revolutionary coups from within the military. To this end, it is extremely important that the Transition Commissioner in charge of peace issues, who is in charge of military abolition, takes the lead.

By the way, many of the military skills that the military has accumulated can be applied to advanced rescue operations in large-scale disasters, etc., so it is beneficial to partially reorganize into advanced rescue teams that cover the entire territory or wide area. 

4.8. Transitional justice

During the transition period, the creation of a new judicial system that is not based on the police and court systems, as discussed in Chapter 4, will also begin.

However, since the judiciary is involved in maintaining order and is also a key area for the defense of the revolution, we must proceed while taking careful transitional and emergency measures to avoid confusion. Therefore, the new judicial system should be implemented with plenty of time to coincide with the implementation of the initial Charter.

4.9. Implementation of delegate license examination

The Commons' Conventions in each level during the transition period are still provisional, and formal Commons' Conventions consisting of delegates with delegate licenses will be convened promptly after the promulgation and enforcement of the initial Charter. To this end, it is necessary to establish a delegate license examination early in the transition period, and to conduct the first license examination before the initial Charter draft is completed.

4.10. Convening of the Constituent Commons' Convention

Once the initial draft Charter is completed, the Constituent Commons' Convention will be established and convened. Delegates to the Constituent Commons' Convention are drawn from among license holders who have passed the unified representative licensing examination, just as in the official Commons' Convention. With the convening of the Constituent Commons' Convention, the previous General Assembly of the Commons' Convention shall be dissolved.

4.11. Passing and enforcement of the initial Charter

Once the above transition phase process is nearing completion, we will begin the final process of establishing an initial Charter. Although various methods can be envisaged, the following method is considered to be the most thorough and efficient.

After the Charter draft by the aforementioned Charter Drafting Committee was submitted to the Constituent Commons' Convention and passed by a majority vote, it is further passed by a majority vote at two-thirds or more of the provisional Commons' Conventions at each level of local areas. 

As the name suggests, the initial Charter is preliminary and has a strong provisional nature, so direct voting by the people may not be necessary at this stage. Thus, the transition period will be completed with the promulgation and enforcement of the initial Charter.
