Komünalist Ekonomi - Demokratik Ekonomi Modeli

Every project that aims to meet with social forces must develop on a new understanding of left/socialism. The new left/socialist understanding must be democratic. Although this left/socialist understanding has universal dimensions, its local colors will be more evident. A left/socialism colored by the cultural diversity of society will become universal in its basic principles and indispensables. It faces the responsibility of covering all social segments that are left out of the system and are victims. Universal principles; communal life, democratic participation, not getting involved in the ruling statist system, justice, equality, freedom and locality... The left/socialist approach, which targets democratic society forces and makes locals subjects, will have the chance to become a power as an alternative to capitalism.

In the context of the new left/socialism approach, I worked on an economic system that could be an alternative to the capitalist economy. The result is the book you have in your hand. I called the alternative economic system “ Communalist Economy ”. I believe that this conceptualization will be more comprehensive and understandable.

The foundation of Communalist Economy is strong. It is ambitious to be a project that will increase the future hopes of the victims of the statist system. I have full faith that any possible shortcomings will be eliminated in practice with the democratic creativity of the society.

Hasn't our day (the poor, the oppressed) come?
