Introduction

First one must understand that the Anarchist Synthesis is neither pure capitalism nor is it pure socialism or communism. Rather the Anarchist Synthesis is both a lifestyle and a way of organizing politically and conventionally in a framework. What makes one a synth-anarchist is not necessarily material belongings, but rather a set of flexible beliefs based on consensus-based agreements. One such consensus based agreement in a syndicate is that one may not murder. While this is a basic understanding there is much more context that needs to be understood that will be covered in this manifesto, and contextual papers to provide further info.

Levels of property

Personal - belongings are those items which may not necessarily be required for basic survival or can be conventionally moved by oneself. i.e. a deck of cards or chairs Example- if i drive a car in a yard i cannot claim that yard as the land is privately owned. However that car is still my private property so in order to return to non aggression and neutral situation we would respectively have the initial person i.e. the car move it back into public area which is the street.

Public - This property is area accessible to all and is broad and based on the usage of something by multiple people rather than personal. Material items that may be used are things such as land, water and historical areas. This is also the most available land to be homesteaded as well. similar to nomadic groups that moved across plains it is public, but does not include violence.

Private - property is items such as the land by or near a house, car, water located on your property, or other objects within a reasonable distance, and other usage that is not tied to oneself such as personal belongings. this can include other items that you bought or labored for. it should be noted that if a basketball lands on your front yard that for example does not become your private property as it has no attachment to you How does this prevent enclosure practices from happening is that this is a self enforced claim. As you try and expand it beyond your respective house and immediate area people will challenge it and how much of it you actually can or will use decreases. This also means your private claim become less and less strong as you cannot uphold it on a reasonable measure that does not entail enclosure.

Means of Production - These are items that provide materials that are necessary for survival or pleasure. What makes it a means of production is not the finished product, but the process, used materials, and area. A item produced may be sold if conventional, but if the people of the syndicate/volost (and individuals) decide otherwise then those mean of production items do not get sold, but distributed on a need basis with excess sold. a means of production item can be considered private property if you directly use it or it is within your private land without prior knowledge. i.e. if you buy swaths of forest that is not reasonable as it makes resources not neutral and has no reasonable claim.

Organizational structure

Syndicate style with people forming syndicates based on vicinity, location and peer to peer association. volosts are not limited however it should be noted that if a volost forms with the specific intention that results in harm or others or does not allow people to freely associate or not then it is not a volost, but rather a state.

Examples include, but may not be limited to

• Labor orientated activities
• Scientific related activities
• Preferential type activities

A simple way of understanding it is to relate it to the idea of a city state alliance. Each volost is it’s own respective authority however we are devoted to the common defense, anarchist ideals and other tenets established in order to successfully establish and succeed in a anarchist revolution without the civil war and falling to foreign states.

Central Tenets

1. Non aggression principle which is defined as "Being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions."(1). This does however require definitional boundaries as this is only the root and context is needed.

   First what is defined as being equal is the ability to operate independently without their own agency being pressured upon by external forces. What is being independent is being able to choose your association and not being pressured upon by others in oneself’s personal life. To further clarify on independant is also including a person on not pressuring another in their own personal life. This does not mean mutual aid and cooperation are tossed away, but rather are encouraged so every person may be able to fulfill their pursuits. Moving onto what classifies as being harmed upon: Harm in life is classified as a person's pursuits being blocked or obstructed by others in a reasonable fashion. Explicitly activities that impede on others are treated as harm rather than a person pursuing their own agency. Harm in health means a person having their health being harmed through the actions of other individuals or groups of individuals. This does not give license to refuse service based on a preconception of a individual nor does this mean forcing those with the means to help others to make them use their labor in fashion. Rather it is paramount that both parties reach mutual consent to provide their labor to each other. Be this through a medium of exchange, exchange of labor or mutual aid. Methods are determined by the syndicate of those people rather than arbitrary mechanisms. Harm in liberty is a restriction on oneself to pursue action unless this violates the agency of another being or causing them harm. Liberty extends as far as consequence rather than preconception of intervention rather liberty can be exercised within the bounds that it does not restrict the agency or cause harm to other agents directly or through an indirect method. Harm in possessions is classified in destructions or malicious intention towards another individual's private or personal property. This extends to the means of production and public resources if they choose to harm these possessions of the respective users then the non aggression principle is violated as aggression has taken act toward the individual and resources used by the commons.

2. Environmentalism - This can be defined as paying special care to the environment and moving away from activities that have effects on the environment.
3. Freedom of association - Freedom of association can be defined as being able to associate with who you want on a person to person basis as well as a political basis. associating by politics means based on the beliefs rather than anything they might be inherently born with. in order to avoid a loophole one can choose not to associate with someone over their beliefs, but one cannot choose to associate because they see them as a inherently lesser being. this mean can mean being in volosts that follow most if not all of your political philosophy however if the philosophy violates the NAP IT it is not a volost, but rather a pseudo volost seeking legitimacy through deception.
4. Homesteading - Rather than deferring to the historical case of Europe and the americas we look towards a different example. The kowloon city wall which remained ungoverned except for water and mail is an example of near modern homesteading in action. Rather than being forced by the state to buy property people could build their own. This same principle that rather than having a government delegate how you live a person can homestead that which no claim can be reasonably enforced. This aims to prevent enclosure practices of large land unless it is being used for practical purposes such as farming, herding and other practices that require uses of land. This also includes abandoned property as available for homesteading. To further expand above and below are both considered to be part of homesteaded property.
5. Neutrality of resources This refers to the use of natural resources. Similar to first nation practices volosts must have an agreement that while using these that they need to be kept neutral or replenished in order to grow. A example of this is the use of oil that while we have no broad replacement for with automation we should strive to move past it to healthier alternatives. how does one maintain this? volosts and guilds are self governed by the people directly under them. Meaning if one person for example decides to prevent workers from forming associations other volosts/guilds can and will intervene on worker's behalf. It should be noted however that business structures would not follow modern ones. All volosts and guilds should also agree beforehand to not over consume and work on automation as well as keeping resources neutral as well. Historical groups such as nomadic and native american groups have kept conditions stable. The aim is to reproduce this, but keep ourselves accountable and providing a base for future generations to live off of.

The Economic and Political Structure

To further build up on these definitions we introduce the structures that facilitate relationships.

Guilds

Guilds at their most basic levels are associations of craftsmen for their respective areas. What makes them different in ancom is they are aided by automation. A example of this is the freelancer just as the freelancer operates on a platform. the Anarchist Synthesis utilizes this same structure of craftsmen and the craftsmen associations and network. Rather than being bound by the area they are in automation allows guilds to reach beyond their respective backgrounds. The other advantage is that due to it being a guild formation there's multiple ways to run it. An example is that each craftsmen acquires his own parts, but they may have a central to pay for parts that need to be paid for Guildsman. To further upon this whether or not the raw materials is paid for is decided upon how the community or individual may see themselves. Some may want to purchase while other volosts based on ancom principles may just wish to receive the raw resources. With the guilds how resources are used can be processed and demand be measured through the guild, volost and supply chain itself. Unions are an aspect of this as the serves as another method that workers may want to organize as well.

Volosts

Volosts were the self rule of peasants in Russia under the tsars before they were abolished by the soviet union. Volosts were self ruled by the peasants and this provides note of an immediate problem. How would one make a urban volost? With the shift of people to urban cities this is immediately pressing. Thus there must be the volosts and the independents. First the independent must be explained for how can someone be independent and live by a volost?

The Peer to Peer Network

The peer to network refers to the element of the volosts that instead of relying on open networking the volost network is peer based. What this means is that people who come into a volost are not random people. The people who come into volosts are fellow peers of the people within one already or is invited by a peer. Why this is so necessary is that a volost is a community of people and as such this network needs to be built upon the foundations of trust in order to work on projects, goals, general defense and maintaining of an anarchist society rather than making a geographic claim. It should be noted that a autonomous UAF zone is separated entirely from other people and is founded on empty land rather than forced upon people who live in a area. Further the peer to peer network provides foundational security as only those who have the trust of people within one as they fight and work together as a community and are morally principled people that are willing to adapt to a anarchist the Anarchist Synthesis society and the syndicalist volost system. However it should be noted as well that collaboration to reach mutual goals with people who are not in volosts are fine as well due to the volost being a separate organizing style.

Freedom of movement

Freedom of movement refers to the ability to move between volosts, independant, and guilds. The ability to travel between them should not be prohibited and in accordance with freedom of association members should be able to freely associate upon which one they prefer. Be it the ancap, ancom, or other styled volosts ability to freely associate between these communities is absolutely key.

Automation

Automation is one the key points of the Anarchist Synthesis both as a survival and mechanism for pushing towards a fully anarchist society. Automation refers to production capacities being fulfilled through machines rather than through labor. This does not entail a end to the idea of labor, but a redirecting of labor as a focused task for the individual person. With automation certain items can easily be mass produced. In order to clarify this with the intersection of private property and the factory we look as a factory as no longer as a point of production that is owned by one individual or another, but rather a open ended resource that is open for mas producing certain goods and open submission of blueprints of items may want to produce. To clarify further this applies to the factory this does not apply to the store owner or the small businessman who owns few businesses, but rather the major factories that produce common goods that a consumer does not see. For example this factory may be owned by one person in the ancap volost, but in the ancom volost no one may own the factor. However neutrality of resources is an absolutely must and this means that what is extracted cannot and should not succeed what can naturally be given.

Community Self Determination

Community self determination refers to the norms of a community being decided by the community itself. These means that communities can and must decide their own internal functions and only in the case of major crises such as invasion and plague will they be called upon to deal with this major calamity.

The Independent

The answer is a pragmatic one where the independent is a person who voluntarily for one reason or another decided they do not wish to remain part of the volost. In doing so they do not get a hand in the decision of rules or support of the volost, but they are neither able to aggress against the respective members of the volost either. it is a way for them to protest without bringing the volost to a grinding halt. independants also have the unique position of setting up their own volosts with other independents. To further on this if they defect because the volost has become corrupt they have every right to tell other people so they can know and they can be freely associated away from. Such as a volost becoming fascist for example they would be shunned or in a sense audited in such a way to make sure that the people are safe and not restricted due to this transformation.

Coalition

A coalition rather than being a top to bottom institution is a method by which volosts can cooperate and work together to provide internal and external security. The coalition works upon the model of militarization and a traditional army structure in the face of a existential crises such as a invading army or a plague or many other society damaging scenarios. In these scenarios there will be pre appointed individuals who specialize in that area to address it.

Formation

In the Coalition of the volosts rather than having a vertical power structure power will be diverted in a horizontal method to provide cooperative models in crisis times. for every volost shall get one representative to work on issues that affect (ancapistan) on a international and national effect. this representative while working with other representatives will ensure the volost and other volosts get protected internationally while the volosts and guilds shall deal with the internal and guilds working on external and internal.

The Autonomous UAF Zone

The autonomous UAF zone refers to the final creation of the the Anarchist Synthesis system itself. When the UAF zone is established it will mean the full independence of the volosts and guilds themselves. Due to the unlikelihood of immediate worldwide revolution these zones shall have the shell of a nation to protect itself from other nations, but it shall not have the features of a nation within itself. To further upon this the autonomous zone shall require the Diplomats, The envoys and other individuals who will represent and defend the the Anarchist Synthesis against unwanted aggression from other nation states. This includes other necessary features in order to protect our independence such as network, communication and other networks to provide defense and communication flow between volosts. Finally if the revolution becomes successful then it should be noted that other volosts that cannot travel or need protection should receive help from the autonomous zone be it financial, Security and other things.

Isolation and intervention

Isolation and intervention refers to the standing attitude of a autonomous zone. While a autonomous zone does not practice intervention on behalf of other groups it will provide help for other volosts that are in need of it. Isolation is a natural position that should be taken in order to avoid the autonomous zone to represent a state. Rather in the event of catastrophes should a interventionist attitude be taken and this needs to be done by the volosts NOT the diplomats or envoys. Rather the diplomats should represent, but the action comes from the volosts themselves and what they are able to offer to those affected by calamities.

Militarization

Militarization refers to the necessary need of volosts to be armed and ready including independents. militarization of this type follows the traditional military structure. Militarization of the volosts is extremely important as the lessons of catalonia and many others show the need for the volosts to be able to respond to aggression on a unified front. For each volost their should be a captain and for each grouping there should be a captain. Then for a collection of groupings their should be a general. Finally of all the generals the best should be the head of defense. It should be noted however that the generals above the captain have power limited to organizing and continuing to develop the defenses of the volosts till the need of defense is required as volosts are self sufficient and self ruled. It should also be noted however that they need to be training and still coordinating with the captains to sharpen their skills for this need. The captains are also electable by the people serve under them. If a captain fails to sharpen his skills or is generally disliked among his community and men then his position is electable.

Defense

In the event of an invasion the volosts will form ancapistan United forces. these forces will follow traditional models of forces of small elite forces derived from the respective volosts. which will work to ensure that the coalition itself is protected in times of need. what separates this from a traditional army structure is that it is not constant nor is there a mechanism to exert political power. as it is derived from a guild and volost base the traditional commander will be the most experienced while each volost has a commander for itself as well. to the traditional general working with volosts and guilds commands in times of crisis and directs in times of peace while respecting the commander of a volost. only during a period of crisis whereby ancapistan is threatened will the general have the ability to command to provide a unified front to any aggressors. external security of assets of individuals outside of it will be left to the companies. this division is important as it allows security on a internal level free from the influence of the aristocrat while allowing individuals to protect their assets abroad without infringing on the neutrality of volosts.

The Supply Chain Methodology

The supply chain methodology is in part tied to automation and the neutrality of resources. As resources are kept in a neutral state some items which may better the health of the people of the volost can be provided without compensating. As resources are open access one can set up a supply chain from that to the volost or grouping of volosts with the same ideas. This is to prevent the basic of materials to be provided with the proper coordination that becomes increasingly possible with advanced automation. This also serves to keep track and cut down on the type of inflation that occurs from there not being enough of a product. Rather resources are released based on a sustainable level basis. When these are released the demand is matched or unmatched based on basic needs summed as being water, food, and materials to build shelter being prioritized then following everything else.

The second part of this means that no one can claim ownership and exclusion of basic resource. These means that water and materials necessary for food and creating structures will not excluded from all nor will it be centrally controlled rather it shall be open access and keep in balance to keep the supply chains running and the communities sovereignties.

Self Sufficiency

Self sufficiency refers to the concept of the person being able to sufficiently provide for themselves.

Private Property

Unlike the historical term of private property we use a synthesis of modern capitalistic private property and the idea of ownership based on usage. First there are areas that need to be clarified. Firstly absentee ownership does indeed exist however it is based not on the idea of perpetual ownership, but rather the abandonment philosophy. The abandonment philosophy refers to the idea that as a property decays so does the claim to that said property. Take for example a property that is decaying natural by neglect of the owner or a desire to ignore it. A state defends this claim even if it is in a state of decay. However under the abandonment philosophy when the decay of a property becomes clear that claim also becomes clear as to not existing. So rather than a claim disappearing when that person leaves a claim is valid till the claim itself decays. A noticeable addition to this with the volost system and neutrality of resources means that as it decays a person can attain the necessary supplies to fix it and thus claim it for himself however personal possessions within the confines of the property should be delivered or transferred to the previous ownership.

Transition of Businesses

Businesses that transform from the old to new world anarchism will have to radically abolish their structures. One example of that guilds cannot buy and sell land and property. Contrary real estate companies and banks will not be able to exist. Because it is anarchist there is no centralization and this includes structures that seek to buy and transfer land for monetary gain. small and local businesses can achieve the transfer into a guild model, but bigger than that will be unable to.

p>The small businesses model would simply have to evaluate into the model where workers are seen on equal power levels. Rather than being a hierarchal company each one is a member who has equal privileges and powers. rather than competition the emphasis is cooperation on tasks. it would also for ease transition to a commissioned, profit sharing or some other wage format for equal power and privileges. Note with the locality and other reforms monetarily many will be much better off than before.

Ethical Insurance

Under the name of capitalism bosses have inflicted more than one ethically questionable action. The ethical insurance is four parts and designed to allow both parties to be treated in a way they believe to be fair.

1. Reviews from the guilds. as guilds are not limited by the political structure of the volosts they serve as information mediums. this information medium includes making the internet neutral in how it is handled by third parties. Therefore a review given to the guild must be handled in a non biased banner where it is free for everyone to see and judge the business on the ethical practices.
2. Reviews from the workers themselves. A boss being able to control what his workers say is vertical however workers in this case can submit reviews without coercion as it is submitted by them and them alone.
3. Anonymous reviews from the surrounding area. randomly picked not by human hands, but rather through a random algorithm this method must be devoid of people. a obvious issue is how to apply this to a remote location. this is where automation again is a critical feature where either A.I. or a paid anonymous is compensated for this journey.
4. The final reviews come from the volost itself in order to show a clear picture of what occurs.

Consequences

Consequences from becoming ethically questionable comes from a multi pronged threat. The first is the threat of workers unhappy with the conditions may arise the factory for themselves, refuse to work, or sabotage. The second consequence is that if conditions are bad enough it may require action. let us use the example of suicidal workers in chinese factories. rather than being apathetic workers would have multiple options. one such option is to unionize, join a volost to get benefits, join a guild to get benefits or ask for a third party such as a volost or guild to intervene to resolve the situation. The final consequence when all else fails and no resolution can be reached, is that the strike occurs and the owner in disrupting the NAP and aggressing without stopping will have to accept aggression will occur from the workers. This means they may strike, withhold work or start a campaign against him until sufficient bargaining has occurred in which workers get reasonable demands met.

Currency

Currency shall follow a credit system and be devoid of debt. Rather than being fiat their will simply be a common understanding of credits that can be further divided into .01 credits to equal one credit. while this is similar to a dollar this lacks the debt, it is not sanctioned altho this will be a guild and volost standard and it also unregulated in the sense that one credit is one credit. an obvious problem is gradual inflation that could lead to it collapsing. what prevents it from collapsing is that they are held digitally and at a central deposit location. Rather rather than fractional banking credits will be transferred through online and physical means that will allow holding stations to match the amount total. This also opens up the door for a universal income to occur if volosts decide to vote that they will use it to for a basic income to cover food, water, and shelter they may. Credits are specifically deployed at the beginning of each month at a set amount from a central server. These credits can also be transferred into a cash credit slip being a maximum of 1000 credit’s.

Cryptocurrencies will be a staple of the the Anarchist Synthesis community in order to provide the economic freedom for individuals to choose how they want to receive sources.

Notes

[1] Firstly the historical drawing upon which this is based on is on first part based upon the kowloon walled city. The kowloon walled city was a old fortress that became a ungoverned city in hong kong. It was also noticeably densely packed and was built from the ground up. Interestingly enough due to the legal situation that it was caught in it was developed without much government oversight. This left little regulation and due to the density of the area it required residents to from close knit communities. What this does represent is the condition of humans to bond together in times of strife. Focusing in on this point it also operated under capitalist economic conditions. Similarly to the idea of anarcho capitalism there was little regulation, but the ideas of capitalism still applied. Despite this residents were still able to form these communities even with the respective centers of production that also opened. It represents an interesting drawing of that people can still form the community bonds as needed even with the existence of capital, property norms, and individual ownership of production rather than the idea of worker/communal ownership. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kowloon_Walled_City

The black guards were anarchist militant cells devised by nikiforova in order to bring about wealth distribution and other measures. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revolutionary_Insurrectionary_Army_of_Ukraine
