The Renaissance of Organic Communities

The Renaissance of organic communities refers to a return to the traditional structures of human communities, which are naturally organized without artificial constraints imposed by modern economic, ideological, or technological systems. This idea involves rebuilding social and economic relationships based on traditional values, interdependence, and solidarity.

• Essential elements of organic communities:

1. Social and natural coherence: Organic communities are characterized by a natural sense of belonging, where people share the same values, traditions, beliefs, and ways of life.

2. Clear roles and mutual support: Members of the community contribute to the common good by respecting well-defined roles: family, neighborhood, parish, guilds, or cooperatives.

3. Strong ties to tradition: Values and behaviors are based on traditional norms passed down from generation to generation, rather than being imposed by alienating modern standards.

4. Relationship with the natural environment: Organic communities tend to be more connected to nature and local resources, leading to a sustainable lifestyle (ecological farming, crafts, use of local resources).

5. Economic and social autonomy: They function as relatively independent units, relying on self-sufficiency, reciprocal exchange, and a local economy. This model contrasts with the globalized economy, which tends to homogenize communities.

• Why is the term "renaissance" used?

The concept of "renaissance" suggests that these organic communities have largely been dissolved or marginalized by:

- industrialization,

- accelerated urbanization,

- globalization,

- economic modernization that privileges centralized or corporate structures.

Thus, the renaissance of organic communities represents a return to these natural structures, seen as an antidote to contemporary issues: alienation, dependence on centralized institutions, and the loss of cultural identity.

In the context of Călin Georgescu's program and Alexandr Dughin's theory:

- Călin Georgescu promotes these communities through national and local values, emphasizing proximity economies and the central role of the individual, family, and local community.

- Alexandr Dughin, through Eurasianism, values traditional local units as part of a broader system to counter the uniformity imposed by Western globalism.

Thus, both converge on the idea that, in order to regain economic, cultural, and spiritual sovereignty, organic communities are key.
