... if you have a group of people that has aggreed to work together (an
organization, a cell, etc..), with a charter, they can support the idea
and ethics behind their aggreement by applying these ethics and ideas to
the working connections that this group makes with other groups.
How can you apply ideas (such as egalitarean decision-making,
non-exploitation, ecological sustainability [...]) ? As criteria. -
Criteria according to which you preferredly work with- or only cooperate
on certain issues or in certain ways with other groups - the more they
fulfill your criteria in charter and practise, the more prone you will
be to work with them.
The idea that i'm heading at would be that evaluating these criteria
might be a process that could be standardized. - Take the form of
organization as an example-criterium; It might just be too much work to
read through the (differing) charters of all the organizations you're
cooperating with, so finding some (possibly modular) standard for the
modes of organization might not be bad. (Maybe something like what the
creative commons group is doing for copyleft-licenses et al.). Not only
would such a unification simplify the process of creating new ties, it
also could help build and maintain a larger community of groups
(specifically non-capitalistic economic) that share some of our basic
political views.
