This is how someone from Council Communism would sum up the society they want.

    Structure

    Leaning · Federal
    Federal72%
    Unitary28%
    Rationale

    Workers' councils and recallable mandates replace the vanguard party and state in the definition. The decentralized coordinate represents distributed workers' coordination rather than a central party apparatus; stateless council organization is not literally a conventional federal constitution.

    Representation

    Very strong · Democracy
    Democracy90%
    Autocracy10%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism definition includes “workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates”. Popular decision-making and recall bear on democratic authorization; restricted membership can still limit who participates.

    Strong · Liberty
    Security18%
    Liberty82%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism model centers on workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates, with no vanguard party, no state and no wage labor. That core does not specify the permissible use of public coercion versus protected personal autonomy. The form of government does not alone establish the extent of surveillance, repression or civil liberty.

    Immigration

    Strong · Multiculturalism
    Assimilation13%
    Multiculturalism87%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism model centers on workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates, with no vanguard party, no state and no wage labor. That core does not specify minority membership, migration and the coexistence of cultural identities. Shared economic interests or a universal philosophical ethic do not alone specify immigration or cultural-integration policy.

    Diplomacy

    Strong · Pacifist
    Militarist15%
    Pacifist85%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism model centers on workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates, with no vanguard party, no state and no wage labor. That core does not specify the political role of organized armed force and acceptance of war. Domestic coercion, economic state intervention and national pride do not by themselves establish militarism or pacifism.

    Intervention

    Strong · Non-interventionist
    Non-interventionist84%
    Interventionist16%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism model centers on workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates, with no vanguard party, no state and no wage labor. That core does not specify coercive foreign projection into other peoples or states. This axis concerns foreign intervention, not nationalism, domestic regulation, cultural confidence or military preparedness alone.

    Economy

    Strong · Public
    Public85%
    Private15%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism definition includes “which holds that workers themselves should run production and power through workers' councils”. The stated economic mix gives ownership context, but redistribution or management alone does not fix the public/private division.

    Control

    Strong · Planning
    Planning76%
    Free market24%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism model centers on workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates, with no vanguard party, no state and no wage labor. That core does not specify how production and allocation are coordinated through plans or decentralized exchange. Public ownership can coexist with markets, and private firms can operate under directed planning.

    Trade

    Leaning · Globalism
    Protectionism38%
    Globalism62%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism model centers on workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates, with no vanguard party, no state and no wage labor. That core does not specify cross-border trade, capital flows and economic integration. Domestic market freedom and international cultural solidarity are different claims from a free-trade policy.

    Religion in governance

    Very strong · Secular governance
    Secular governance92%
    Religious governance8%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism model centers on workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates, with no vanguard party, no state and no wage labor. That core does not specify whether public rules and political authority are grounded in religious doctrine. Personal faith, atheism, religious identity and rejection of a state do not alone establish the source of public rules.

    Morality

    Strong · Progressive
    Progressive73%
    Traditionalist27%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism model centers on workers' councils running factories and power through recallable mandates, with no vanguard party, no state and no wage labor. That core does not specify public attitudes toward inherited customs, family, gender and social change. Economic redistribution, technological novelty and a religious affiliation do not uniquely determine every moral position.

    Technology

    Leaning · Technology
    Technology67%
    Biology33%
    Rationale

    Our Council Communism definition includes “which holds that workers themselves should run production and power through workers' councils”. Development or rational organization supplies indirect technological context; acceptance of transformative technology remains a modeled choice.
