Urban Communes, Self Management, and The Reconstruction of the Local State

University of California, Los Angeles

Principles for a reconstructed political order at the local state level are developed and discussed. The essay is divided into five parts. Part II traces the relationship between the concepts of political com munity and the local state. It terminates in advanced capitalism, wherein territory is structured into both residentiary and economic spaces in accord with our dual role as consumers and producers, and, in which the two are in conflict with one another. The object of a reconstructed political order is to accomplish integration of the two spaces (Part III). A series of general principles is developed in Part IV, meant as guideposts for political practice. In the final part of the essay, comments are offered on the historical possibilities of a reconstructed political practice and on future roles for planners.
