Who we are
A community with a completely new vision of society
Zivilisation 0 is a private, civil-society project that deals with alternative models of society, economy and life. The aim is to develop visions for a sustainable, nonviolent and socially just future and to discuss them publicly.
The project does not see itself as a political party, state institution or scientific institution, but as an idealistic, life-affirming think tank.
Important to understand
Zivilisation 0 is not an established political program or a well-known scientific initiative. It is the vision of achieving a more highly developed society.
What the vision includes
- Saving humanity and the planet.
- Building a society beyond violence, power, fear and competition.
- A world without debt, hierarchies, compulsion to progress and possessive thinking
- A society in which security and the right to exist do not have to be fought for, but already exist as a fundamental basis
People do not need emperors, chancellors, presidents or kings. People need a framework. For their equilibrium, people need a stable foundation, or rather a framework for the future of living together. The framework must be oriented toward cooperation and the laws of nature. We can create a framework that gets by without war, without racial delusion, without an interest system, without mental confusion and without ideology. And within this system we humans live free, independent and self-reliant.
Imagine a world in which, at birth, you receive a little house of your own with a garden... -
as a fundamental right.
Every human being receives, as an inalienable fundamental right, a self-sufficient tiny house. Small, dignified, self-sufficient. It belongs to no one in the sense of possession – and yet it is unassailable. No one can take it, seize it or lose it. Do you know what happens then?
The immediate consequences:
At this moment, existential fear disappears as a structure. Nobody has to work in order not to become homeless. Nobody stays in relationships, jobs or systems out of fear of nothingness. Work loses its compulsion and gains its freedom of choice. Activities that nobody does voluntarily are automated, simplified, recalculated – or they disappear. Human beings begin to be able to say no. And precisely this no makes every yes real.
Social change
Cities change. Highly dense rental architecture loses its function. Instead, networks of tiny-house clusters emerge, connected by community workshops, places of learning, health spaces, cultural spaces. Mobility becomes easier because attachment is no longer tied to real estate. Property loses its absolute character. Whoever has a home secured needs to accumulate less. Consumption declines not out of morality, but out of satiety. Resources are consumed more slowly because they no longer serve as a substitute for security.
Work, meaning and creativity
Professions change radically. People work shorter hours, more freely, project by project. Research, care, art, education and ecological work experience a renaissance because they no longer have to compete against survival logic. Achievement is no longer confused with dignity. Innovation becomes more playful. Mistakes are allowed. Failure is no longer social death.
Relationships and community
Partnerships become freer and more stable at the same time. Nobody has to stay in order to keep a roof. Children grow up in security, without the underlying fear of "being a burden." Violence, especially structural and domestic violence, decreases drastically – because dependence disappears. Community arises not from necessity, but from choice. Conflicts become negotiable because nobody has their back against the wall.
Political and global consequences
If every country guarantees this fundamental right to its citizens, migration loses its compulsory character. People move out of curiosity, not out of desperation. Borders relax because flight is no longer a mass phenomenon. States that secure their population's existence need less repression. Military armament loses legitimacy. Wars that arise from scarcity of resources, shortage of land or social destabilization lose their causes.
The path to world peace
World peace arises here not through treaties or deterrence, but through a quiet shift: When no human being has to fight for a home anymore, no people has to fight for land anymore, no one has to fear the future anymore. Violence loses its breeding ground. Insecurity becomes security. It is a political, psychological and spiritual act: Peace begins where nobody has to live with loss or existential fears.
