Preamble
Self-Government
The Green Party proposes a hopeful, optimistic vision of future human society.
We call, not merely for increased representation, but for self-government from the grassroots, bottom up, via decentralized, confederal direct democracies at the municipal level.
We call, not merely for greater oversight or regulation, but for a moral economy, directly planned by the community and implemented by workers managing their own workplaces, that seeks human liberation from all forms of oppression, exploitation, and hierarchy, as well as to create an ecological society in harmony with the rest of nature.
We call, not merely for improved wages or working conditions, but for the moral usage of technology and automation to liberate humanity from work and toil itself, such that all people may have the maximum time and resources to spend with their families and friends, build and improve their communities, and participate in civic life.
