CAPSON (praxis)

 ### **C.A.P.S.O.N. Praxis**  

#### **Core Philosophy**  

- **Radical Agency**: No cosmic purpose ≠ no meaning. *We create meaning through collective action.*  

- **Decentralized Resolve**: Replace centralized power with **autonomous councils/syndicates** that coordinate without hierarchy.  

- **Cynicism as Vigilance**: Question everything, but let doubt fuel *better systems*, not despair.

### **Framework in Action**  

1. **Cynicism (Tool, Not Trap)**  

   - *"What if this system is corrupt?"* → Audit processes, then propose alternatives via council debates.  

   - Example: A housing syndicate critiques predatory landlords but *also* self-manages affordable co-ops.  

2. **Nihilism (Freedom to Build)**  

   - *"No inherent meaning"* → *"So let’s fight for what we love anyway."*  

   - Example: A climate council adopts solar grids not because the universe cares, but because they *choose* to value future generations.  

3. **Anarcho-Feminist Structure**  

   - **Councils**: Small, consensus-based groups handling local needs (e.g., healthcare, education).  

   - **Syndicates**: Larger networks for resource sharing (e.g., farm cooperatives, tech collectives).  

   - **Conflict Resolution**: Rotating mediators trained in restorative justice.  

4. **Optimistic Pragmatism**  

   - **Tactic**: Incremental wins (e.g., community gardens) that prefigure a stateless society.  

   - **Motto**: *"We build the new world in the shell of the old, one stubborn step at a time."*  

5. **Stoic Resilience**  

   - **Inner Work**: Practice emotional discipline to avoid burnout.  

   - **Outer Work**: Channel clarity into direct action (e.g., strikes, mutual aid).  

6. **Orthopraxy Over Orthodoxy**  

   - Judge by deeds: *Does this council uplift marginalized voices? Do syndicates redistribute power?*

### **Kantian Litmus Test for Syndicates**  

*"If every council acted as we do, would this create autonomy or new hierarchies?"*  

- **Yes**: A decision to share surplus food with neighboring syndicates.  

- **No**: Hoarding resources "for the collective’s safety" without transparency.  

---

### **Why This Works**  

- **Balances Cynicism & Hope**: Questions power but *acts* as if better worlds are possible.  

- **Embraces Nihilism’s Freedom**: No grand plan → agility to adapt.  

- **Stoic Resolve Meets Feminist Care**: Strength without coldness.
