Compendio del Manifiesto Convivialista

The Compendio del Manifiesto Convivialista argues that humanity's technical and material wealth has not increased happiness and instead threatens survival through 'entropic' and 'anthropic' threats. It proposes 'convivialism'—an art of living together that prioritizes social relations and nature over the accumulation of power. The manifesto outlines a doctrinal minimum based on four principles: common humanity, common sociality, individuation, and controlled creative opposition. It advocates for a 'prosperity without growth,' the establishment of minimum and maximum incomes to curb extreme inequality, and a reciprocal relationship with nature where humans return as much as they take. The text calls for the localization of economies and the elimination of unemployment to counter the destructive dynamics of globalization.

• The document asserts that the current logic of technical progress and the accumulation of power are unsustainable and threaten the physical and moral survival of humanity through material, technical, ecological, economic, moral, and political threats.
• Convivialism is proposed as a shared doctrinal framework to manage human rivalry and cooperation while protecting nature, structured around four core questions regarding morality, politics, ecology, and economics.
• A legitimate social order must be based on four principles: common humanity (respect for all members), common sociality (valuing social relations), individuation (allowing singular expression), and controlled creative opposition (non-destructive rivalry).
• The manifesto advocates for specific political and economic reforms, including the implementation of basic minimum incomes for the poor and maximum income limits for the wealthy to prevent extreme wealth from undermining sociality.
• Ecologically and economically, the document argues for a shift away from infinite economic growth toward a 'prosperity without growth' and a reciprocal relationship with nature where humans return as much as they extract.
