If we are to achieve any form of social change, it will require collaboration between our social peers. In of itself, social collaboration requires its own systemic change towards a system of democratic agency all collaborating members deserve. Fundamentally, it is a right of the participants of a social movement to have direct agency over their energy, work, and intention, and this makes unified consent of the course of a social movement a requirement. As to tackle both how to generate broad social change and how to do so while maintaining the individual’s right to agency, this manifesto was generated as a hypothetical outline as to a possible pipeline of work. By maintaining the point of view of the individual agent, linear systems, which work to suppress one body of people over another, can be manipulated into cyclical systems that maintains the agency of the people involved as the center axis.
Traditional means to organize people are often oppressively linear, with a direct transfer of power from one group to another that results in an abuse of that power disparity. By shifting the way we organize people to a system of circular networks, each individual can maintain agency over their lives by exerting radial power, without the capacity for mass oppression.
The Coalition of Radial Powers (CORP*) proposes a method to maintain democratic liberty while collaborating with others, specifically in the organization of power within a social movement.
This website contains both a manifesto that outlines this method in specific as well as spaces to voice concerns and generate personal networks to approach systemic change from a grassroots level.
