The Viadescioisc Communalist Manifesto; A declaration of popular self government, democratic stewardship, and a liberatory society
1) Sacred Existence and Spiritual Reciprocity: We understand existence as relational, changing, and participatory. By a being, we mean anything that exists. Relationships are the connections through which beings affect, […]
Multicultural Pluralism
I think spirituality and religion have to be taken seriously in any truly liberatory society, because human beings do not live only through economics, law, and politics. We also live through meaning, ritual, grief, awe, memory, mystery, death, hope, belonging, and the question of what our lives are for. A communalist, libertarian municipalist, and democratic confederalist society cannot simply inherit […]
Viadescioism, Viadescioist, and Viadescioic
Viadescioism is a living religion, spiritual philosophy, and spiritual practice centered on understanding existence physically, mentally, and spiritually. It is a whole path of being and becoming: a way of studying reality, honoring divinity, cultivating the self, practicing virtue, engaging with sacred language, and walking toward deeper divine realization. In the Viadescioic understanding, existence is not dead matter. Existence is […]
Conservative vs. Progressive Religion
Religion itself is neither inherently oppressive nor inherently liberatory—it is a social vessel that can be wielded in profoundly different ways. When religion is organized around conservative, authoritarian, and exclusionary principles, it becomes a tool of oppression. When organized around progressive, liberatory, and inclusive principles, it can become a force for communal care, solidarity, and justice. Conservative Religion: Why It’s […]
There is no inherent reason to fear the word religion

Rethinking Religion, Secularism, and the Politics of Belief
When people discuss religion—especially Islam—the conversation often lacks depth. The issue isn’t just misunderstanding theology; it’s the failure to grasp how religion is interpreted, politicized, and instrumentalized by power structures. Religion, including Islam, Christianity, Judaism, and others, is not static. It evolves across time, geography, and culture. But mainstream discourse rarely acknowledges this. Instead, the loudest and most authoritarian interpretations—like […]
A Petition for the Meek:
If there exists such a realm, a sanctified dominion beyond sorrow, be it called Heaven, Elysium, Utopia, or the Place of Good, whether rooted in this weary Earth or suspended beyond the firmament in realms unseen, then may it open its gates to us.
