For an economy
that belongs to all of us.
communia develops strategies for
a democratic economy
We work on defining an economy that serves us all – because it belongs to us all. Effective co-determination has many forms and levels: from employee-owned companies to democratized public services and (supra-)regional economic and investment councils. The aim is to align our shared economic activity with social justice, ecological sustainability and the satisfaction of everyone’s needs.
socialization
In order for the economy to serve the common good instead of private profits, we must all be able to participate in it. That is why we work together with social movements to push forward the socialization of private corporations into democratically organized public ownership focused on the common good. We develop concepts, advise on strategic issues and work together to build a movement for socialization.
public luxury
Unconditional access to the goods that make our lives possible and worthwhile – for everyone: that is public luxury! Mobility, education, housing, fast internet, healthcare, culture, parks and swimming pools, healthy food and other things that we all need to live belong in democratically organized public ownership. Only with collective prosperity instead of private excess will we be able to tackle the climate crisis, inequality and the crisis of democracy.
