If You’ve Called Yourself a Socialist, You May Be Interested in Something New
Cotometism begins not with systems or classes, but with each individual life—and what it takes for that life to be lived freely.
Many people call themselves socialists because they sense that conditions unfairly limit lives and concentrate power. Cotometism shares concerns for vulnerability and exploitation, but it starts with the fragile autonomy of each individual life. Where socialism might rely on authority and redistribution, cotometism emphasizes Life Autonomy and Reciprocity—direct empowerment and voluntary cooperation that make freedom last.
