Here is the link to the papers: https://integralcollective.io/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/INTEGRAL-Paper-V0.1-com2.pdf
Peter Joseph's (the Zeitgeist Movement guy for those who may remember) long awaited paper on the extensive project he's been working on, called Integral, which is - in simplified terms, aimed at bringing about and facilitating a thorough economic and social transition away from capitalism and market economics at a societal/civilizational scale, is finally out.
It's just been released so I personally cannot yet comment much on the contents of the paper, but based on what I do know from Joseph's various podcasts on his Revolution Now! YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@revolutionnowpodcast?si=RcYnz5_bcMX2gjyg), it is very close in spirit, aims and methodology to various libertarian leftist and anarchist organizational prescriptions, philosophy and, for now at least in theory/conceptually, seems very promising, so I think it deserves great consideration here.
In my own, simplified terms (which obviously should not be taken for granted and I encourage you all to do your own research on the topic), based on what I've seen so far, I'd describe it as following:
Integral should be understood as a structured attempt to think past protest culture, party politics and the left-right loops, toward an actual systemic transition out of capitalism and the state.
Instead of treating exploitation, hierarchy or ecological collapse as mere moral or ideological failures, it frames them as embedded, structural design problems produced by markets, profit incentives, nationalism and artificial scarcity, but especially the first two.
The strategy is not to be electoral, vanguardist nor insurrectionary, but more in line with educational and developmental, i.e. building-up a wide and shared systems-level understanding (including ecology, cybernetics, thermodynamics, horizontality, social organization etc), then cultivating parallel, post-market forms of coordination that make the old system obsolete rather than "captured".
Anti-capitalist, anti-state, skeptical of democracy-as-fetish and ML-centralism alike, Integral is basically an attempt to engineer a civilizational shift toward a needs-based, ecologically constrained/within what Earth and nature can reliably sustain while fostering an ecological renewal, technologically coordinated society, not by seizing power but by rendering all ruling, coercive structures unnecessary.
SPOILER ALERT - the paper is 345 pages long, so tread carefully.
Hello and thank you for visiting r/theredleft! We are glad to have you! While here, please try to follow these rules so we can keep discussion in good faith and maintain the good vibes: 1. A user flair is required to participate in this community, do not whine about this, you may face a temporary ban if you do.
2.No personal attacks
Debate ideas, not people. Calling someone names or dragging their personal life in ain’t allowed.
3.Blot out the names of users and subreddits in screenshots and such to prevent harrassment. We do not tolerate going after people, no matter how stupid or bad they might be.
4.No spam or self-promo
Keep it relevant. No random ads or people pushing their own stuff everywhere.
5.Stay at least somewhat on topic
This is a leftist space, so keep posts about politics, economics, social issues, etc. Memes are allowed but only if they’re political or related to leftist ideas.
6.Respect differing leftist opinions
Respect the opinions of other leftists—everyone has different ideas on how things should work and be implemented. None of this is worth bashing each other over. Do not report people just because their opinion differs from yours.
7.No reactionary thought
We are an anti-capitalist, anti-Zionist, anti-fascist, anti-liberal, anti-bigotry, pro-LGBTQIA+, pro-feminist community. This means we do not tolerate hatred toward disabled, LGBTQIA+, or mentally challenged people. We do not accept the defense of oppressive ideologies, including reactionary propaganda or historical revisionism (e.g., Black Book narratives).
8.Don’t spread misinformation
Lying and spreading misinformation is not tolerated. The "Black Book" also falls under this. When reporting something for misinformation, back up your claim with sources or an in-depth explanation. The mod team doesn’t know everything, so explain clearly.
9.Do not glorify any ideology
While this server is open to people of all beliefs, including rightists who want to learn, we do not allow glorification of any ideology or administration. No ideology is perfect. Stick to truth grounded in historical evidence. Glorification makes us seem hypocritical and no better than the right.
10.No offensive language or slurs
Basic swearing is okay, but slurs—racial, bigoted, or targeting specific groups—are not allowed. This includes the word "Tankie" except in historical contexts.
