"Inclusive Republic"

--- CONTENT ---
Inclusive Democracy is a political philosophy and project whose aim is to achieve direct (political) democracy, economic democracy in an a-state, a-money and market-free economy, self-management (democracy in the social field) and ecological democracy. The theoretical project of the Inclusive Democracy (PR), distinguished by the political project which is part of the autonomous/democratic tradition) emerged from the work of the political philosopher, former academic and activist Takis Fotopoulos in Towards An Inclusive Democracy, (Cassell/Continuum, London/New York, 1997) [Greek translation: Inclusive Democracy (Castaniotis Editions, 1999) and recast in the Inclusive Democracy: 10 years after (Free Press Editions, 2008)] and developed further by the same and other authors of the policy review Democracy & Nature (Greek edition of Democracy, former Society and Nature) as well as the successor of the electronic journal The International Journal of Inclusive Democracy (ISSN 1753-240X) which is freely available on line and published by the International Network for the Comprehensive Democracy.

In short, Inclusive Democracy is a form of social organization that re-incorporates economy, State and Nature into society. The concept of Inclusive Democracy has come from the synthesis of two major historical traditions: classical democratic and socialist, as well as radical currents within the Green movement, feminist movement and liberation movements in the South.”

The starting point of the ID project is that the world faces a multidimensional crisis (economic, ecological, social, cultural and political), which can be shown to be due to the concentration of power/power in the hands of various elites. This concentration is interpreted as a result of the establishment in
