Political axes
Profile across the 12 cunnys
- Leaning · Federal
Niya Structure
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism definition includes “local communes and assemblies federated into a confederation”. Territorial autonomy, confederation or jurisdictional competition bears directly on where public decisions reside.
- Strong · Democracy
Ayane Representation
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism definition includes “local communes and assemblies federated into a confederation”. Popular decision-making and recall bear on democratic authorization; restricted membership can still limit who participates.
- Leaning · Liberty
Wakamo Power
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism model centers on local communes and assemblies federated into a confederation, with gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense, without a nation-state. 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.
- Strong · Multiculturalism
Serina Immigration
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism definition includes “gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense”. A universal or egalitarian horizon informs the cultural model, but specific migration rules remain underdetermined.
- Leaning · Pacifist
Mari Diplomacy
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism definition includes “gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense”. The stated defense arrangement distinguishes preparedness and deterrence from using war to transform other societies.
- Leaning · Non-interventionist
Hina Intervention
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism model centers on local communes and assemblies federated into a confederation, with gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense, without a nation-state. 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.
- Strong · Public
Minori Economy
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism definition includes “gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense”. Cooperative ownership, use-based possession or common land rent is modeled separately from both blanket state ownership and unrestricted private title.
- Strong · Planning
Cherino Control
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism definition includes “gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense”. Self-management or needs-based cooperation supplies a noncentralized coordination model, which is not identical to a capitalist market.
- Leaning · Protectionism
Kisaki Trade
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism model centers on local communes and assemblies federated into a confederation, with gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense, without a nation-state. 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.
- Strong · Secular governance
Kei Religion in governance
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism model centers on local communes and assemblies federated into a confederation, with gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense, without a nation-state. 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.
- Leaning · Progressive
Hanako Morality
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism definition includes “gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense”. The stated changes to rights, gender or customs concern progressive public morality, rather than only economic redistribution.
- Leaning · Biology
Atsuko Technology
Rationale
Our Democratic Confederalism definition includes “gender equality, ecology, a cooperative economy and self-defense”. Ecological limits or rural production is relevant to the biology side, without implying opposition to every scientific or agricultural technique.
