The abiding and the deciding classes have only their bare humanity in common. There can be no peace, freedom, equality, or order so long as there is an external constitution of social power, and the few, who make up the deciding classes, have all of the political power, economic surplus, and cultural influence.
Between these two classes a struggle must go on until the abiders organize under the laws of their own making, declare themselves sovereign in domestic, productive, and consumptive life, abolish domination, exploitation, and interference, and live in harmony together.
We find that the externalization of the constitution of social power into fewer and fewer hands makes the abiders unable to cope with the ever-growing power of the deciding class. Existing associations foster a state of affairs which allow one set of abiders to be pitted against another set of abiders in the same society, thereby helping to defeat one another in cultural and political wars. Moreoever, the existing associations aid the deciding class to mislead the abiders into the belief that the abiders have more than their bare human interests in common with the deciders.
These conditions can be changed and the interest of the abiding classes upheld only by an organization formed in such a way that all its member-organizations in any one society, or in all societies if necessary, distinguish themselves, recognize one another, and take concerted action toward the ends of their mutual emancipation from the deciding class, thus making the freedom of one the Equal Freedom of all. Instead of the decider's motto, “Give All That is Thine to Me, That I May Rule Thee Further,” we must inscribe on our banner the revolutionary watchword, “I Give Back (Only That Which is Due).”
It is the historic mission of the abiding classes to do away with compulsory, monocentric, and territorial states. The Confederation of the Commonwealth must be provisionally organized, not only to establish a future vision for governance, but also to prefigure the economy that will exist when compulsory, monocentric, and territorial states shall have been abolished. By organizing into an Autoteletic, Henocentric, and Conautarkic Ambiarchy, we are forming the structure of the new society within the shell of the old.
Knowing, therefore, that such an organization is absolutely necessary for emancipation, we unite under the governing documents of The Provisional Confederation of the Prefigurative Autoteletic, Henocentric, and Conautarkic Ambiarchy of the Commonwealth of Apodidomia.
