Political Science

Political Science is the study of kon bôklôn (governance/statecraft). In Hîsyêô, this discipline is inextricably linked to the theology of Tîengûun (Society) and the rejection of the First Law (Tyranny).

Core Concepts

The fundamental question of Hîsyêô politics is not "Who rules?" but "How do we agree?"

Systems of Governance

Hîsyêô vocabulary distinguishes between hierarchical systems (Shards) and horizontal systems (Weaves).

Hierarchical Systems (The Shards)

• Monarchy:  kon  bôklôn  yê  kut (Governance of one)

• Oligarchy:  kon  bôklôn  yê  yoûtî (Governance of a few)

• Empire:  kûôcyo  cênbô (Big nation/state)

• Tyranny:  odigon  ûlzo (Excessive power)

Horizontal Systems (The Weave)

• Democracy:  kon  bôklôn  yê  môî (Rule of all)

• Republic:  kûôcyo  yê  umo (Nation of the people)

• Federation:  mozulis  kûngîyo (Nation council)

• Commune:  niwos  fîmôsyôs (Communal residence)

Participatory Economics & Politics

Hîsyêô culture advocates for a system known as Participatory Economics (ParEcon) and Participatory Politics (ParPolity). This system seeks to maintain individual autonomy and market efficiency without the corruption of capitalism or the authoritarianism of central planning.

The Problem with the Invisible Hand

In Hîsyêô philosophy, the "Invisible Hand" of capitalism is seen as a Shard—a remnant of the First Law that prioritizes profit (accumulation) over people (multiplicity). It creates a hierarchy where the market dictates the value of a life.

The Solution: Participatory Planning

Instead of an invisible hand, Hîsyêô uses the Visible Hand of Tîengûun—conscious, collective planning.

• Participatory Planning:

   kon  yôcno  zomo (Group planning).

  Producers and consumers negotiate directly to determine what is produced, ensuring that supply meets need without waste or exploitation.
• Social Ownership:

   fuî  fîmôsyôs (Communal ownership).

  The means of production (factories, land) are owned by the community as a whole, preventing the rise of a capitalist class.
• Self-Management:

   kon  hûkun  cizî (Self-rule).

  Every worker has a say in the decisions that affect their work, proportional to how much they are affected.
• Remuneration for Effort:

   cifû  fun  mêdûson

  (Pay per effort). People are paid based on the effort and sacrifice of their labor, not on the value of their property or genetic luck.

The Process of Consensus (Tîengûun)
