Abregé du Manifeste convivialiste

The text advocates for 'convivialism' as a necessary alternative to current global social and economic organization, which it views as potentially self-destructive. It proposes a framework based on four core principles—common humanity, common sociality, individuation, and controlled opposition—to guide moral, political, ecological, and economic decisions. Key proposals include the implementation of a basic income for the poor and a maximum income for the wealthy, a shift toward 'prosperity without growth', and the relocalization of activities to preserve the environment and social bonds.

• The document argues that humanity's rapid technical and scientific progress has not solved the fundamental problem of managing human rivalry and violence, and that continued accumulation of power threatens human survival.
• Convivialism is defined as an 'art of living together' that prioritizes care for other humans and nature while treating conflict as a source of creativity rather than violence.
• Legitimate political systems must ensure a basic income for the poorest citizens and establish a maximum income for the wealthiest to prevent extreme wealth from undermining common humanity and sociality.
• The document calls for a transition to a 'prosperity without growth' model, emphasizing a plural economy that balances markets, public economy, and social/solidarity associations.
• Ecological sustainability requires humans to stop viewing themselves as masters of nature and instead adopt a relationship of reciprocal giving, ensuring that they return as much to nature as they take.
