Welcome to r/Groupism

This subreddit is dedicated to the theory and practical application of groupism in today's world.

What is Groupism? It is the idea and desire to live better and happier by living in a small, self regulated, group of people in opposition to a one-fits-all society.

The best way to understand this is with a simple example: Imagine a group of about 50 people who decided to live together on a big ranch on the countryside: They are not necessarily related by kin but instead what unites them is a common idea on how the want to live life:

They decide how they organize themselves.
They decide what social norms they follow.
They decide what activities and work they do.
They are free to completely decide over their lives as a group and by doing so they create a new micro-society with which they feel comfortable.

Important: Groupism doesn't mean living completely isolated from the rest of the world.

Groups can exist in the middle of a forest or in the middle of a densely populated city. They decide how they obtain their resources and to what degree and in which way they interact with other people or other groups.

Groupism is about taking a white sheet of paper, sitting down and thinking:

How do I want to live?
With which people?
What social rules do I want to follow?
What form of government do I want to live with?
What values do I want to live by?

And then make it possible by the voluntary association of those who think alike to live in respect, tolerance and happily with yourself, your group and the rest of the world.
