Chapter 8: NEW REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT
3.1. Commons' Convention as a revolutionary movement
As the name suggests, the communist revolution was conventionally thought to be carried out centered on the Communist Party, but that is no longer the case. The communist revolution by the people presented here is a direct revolution by the nonpartisan people, not by the Communist Party, but by any political party organization.
However, I am not so simple as to claim that the revolutionary business can be completed without any kind of organization. Organizing a revolutionary movement is also inevitable. What is that organization? It is the Commons' Convention.
This concept has already been mentioned. While it appeared as a new governing organization in a communist society where the state was abolished, the Commons' Convention also had the consistency of being formed and developed as a revolutionary movement organization before the revolution.
This "pre-revolutionary Commons' Convention" is an organization that is planned to become an official governing body after the revolution - a sort of chrysalis - so to speak. We have already discussed the structure of the Commons' Convention after the revolution in Chapter 4, so here we will look at the Commons' Convention before the revolution.
3.2. Outline of the pre-revolutionary Commons' Convention Convention (1): World Commons' Convention
A communist revolution that abolishes the monetary economy and state system cannot be practiced by a single country alone; it must go through successive revolutions in each country and ultimately reach the creation of a transnational and global World Commonwealth.
To that end, the Commons' Convention needs to advance from its first step toward a globalist organization that transcends existing nations. That is, the formation of the World Commons' Convention.
The World Commons' Convention is the world center of the Commons' Convention movement, which is scheduled to function as the General Assembly of the World Commonwealth when it is established in the future.
However, even though it is called the world center, the relationship between the World Commons' Convention and each country's Commons' Convention is not a hierarchical relationship between headquarters and branch offices. It will be positioned as a forum with the pillars of information exchange and situation analysis.
At the same time, it is also important to create a Commons' Convention at the grand-zonal level, which was touched on in Chapter 4. This will be formed for each of the five grand zones, which will be described again in the final chapter, and in the future it will be a representative body that will elect five representatives to constitute the Grand-zonal Representatives' Conference that will function as the executive body of the World Commonwealth. However, until then, it will serve as a temporary general council for the Commons' Convention of each country belonging to the large region that will constitute the grand zone in the future.
Supporting exiled Commons' Conventions in countries where domestic activities are particularly difficult because organizations such as the Commons' Convention are targets of repression and persecution domestically is an important mission of the grand-zonal Commons' Convention. As such, the grand-zonal Commons' Convention will have a temporary base in a country where Commons' Convention activities are relatively free, if not entirely risk-free.
3.3. Outline of the pre-revolutionary Commons' Convention (2): Commons' Convention in each country
When the World Commonwealth is established through successive revolutions, sovereign nations will be abandoned, but before the revolution, a Commons' Convention linked to the World Commons' Convention must be organized for each existing country for the time being.
At that time, in light of the nature of the consistency system mentioned above, each country's Commons' Convention organization was established at each level of communes, regional areas, and provincial areas (quasi-zones in the case of federal states) in accordance with the development after the revolution. If governing bodies corresponding to regional areas or provincial areas were not established before the revolution, provisional divisions will be applied.
However, even here, there is no hierarchical relationship between the Commons' Convention of zones and the Commons' Convention of each local area, and no centralized leadership body such as a central committee is placed in the Commons' Convention of zones.
Instead, a Central Liaison Committee(Federal Liaison Committee in the case of federal states) will be established as an organization that connects local networks. To avoid capital centered operations, the commission will be located in a city other than the capital.
In addition to holding regular meetings of its own, the Central Liaison Committee plans and hosts an annual general meeting. The general meeting is a forum for exchanging information and analyzing the situation, and unlike political party conventions, it does not pass binding resolutions.
On the other hand, the Commons' Convention of provincial areas (or quasi-zones) and regional areas will also have a Liaison Committee to act as a liaison body for each Commons' Convention. In addition, a small Liaison Committee will be set up in the Commons' Convention of communes and serves as a conduit to the Commons' Convention of regional areas.
In this way, unlike the Communist Party, the Commons' Convention does not have a central leadership—therefore, the Central Liaison Committee does not have a chairperson or equivalent general secretary. It will be operated as a decentralized network-type organization in which the Commons' Convention of zone and the Commons' Convention of each local area within it organically cooperate.
