We assume that the deliberate formation of our communist subculture should proceed as a network of communities consisting of friends and like-minded people, and that the main feature of these relations should be a sense of responsibility for each other. This means that the successes and misfortunes of each person in our community should be experienced by every person as common ones, that all of our emergent disagreements should be considered as a factor of unity (that is, in a shared yearning to overcome them) instead of as a delimitation, that sincerity and openness should be more important than political correctness. In this way, inside the community the paradigm of interpersonal separation (a facet of the present world of alienation, and a necessary condition of its manipulation of people’s minds) will be overcome. This togetherness is to be achieved through a common discussion of the problems in the life of the community, theoretical research, the exchange of ideas, a desire for harmonious self-development, self-education, and the dissemination of our ideas outside the community. | We assume that the deliberate formation of our communist subculture should proceed as a network of communities consisting of friends and like-minded people, and that the main feature of these relations should be a sense of responsibility for each other.

| − | For a long time the importance of subculture was underestimated. It was considered only as a natural basis of public movements (for example, the Narodnik movement in Russia of the 1860s or Communar movement in the USSR of the 1960s and 1970s). But these movements died down when favorable conditions disappeared, because people did not know how to maintain and disseminate their ideas without permanent public activity. These spontaneous (and therefore sporadic) groups are to be replaced with the humanistic (communist) subculture which we intend to form. We believe that this subculture is indispensable condition for the humanistic (communist) reconstruction of society. | + | For a long time the importance of subculture was underestimated.

| − | There are now more than two dozen of us, living in several cities. Many people joined the NCC builders’ community not long ago (NCC = Noosphere Communist Culture). The diversity of our initial circumstances has made it vital to have a <b>“School”</b> that each of us undergoes. At the School, everyone has to overcome everything that interferes with the common deed and prevents them from breaking with the person of present to become the person of future. The School aims at three basic qualities that are necessary to build NCC (and, we are convinced, are peculiar to the complete person of the future): | + | There are now more than two dozen of us, living in several cities.

* the quality of an “uneasy heart” in the present unsettled world. This is associated with the understanding that people live wrongly, that they should not live as they live now, that “in each of the child the Mozart is murdered”. It is a feeling of anguish, in which it is impossible to forget about the “milliards of clear-flashing eyes that look at the world and do not know about the evil and sorrow that fill it”, about senseless existence, either in poverty or in the satiety of consumerism. This understanding must not only be a part of a world-view but also lie in the basis of a person’s motivation and define their real behavior. | * the quality of an “uneasy heart” in the present unsettled world.

* the quality of a “collective person”, a person who realizes their sociality, and who overcomes individualistic stereotypes. This person is capable of collective analysis and action based on their ability to “open the door” within themselves to the thoughts, feelings and experiences of others in the group, to “let them in”. These collective persons, by “having the others inside”, are mutually responsible for the happiness of one another. | * the quality of a “collective person”, a person who realizes their sociality, and who overcomes individualistic stereotypes.
