The means of production, including factories, farms, infrastructure, and other productive assets, shall be collectively owned exclusively by cooperatives formed by workers, consumers, and communities.

The State, foreign entities, private individuals, for-profit corporations, and any other non-cooperative entities are prohibited from owning, controlling, or profiting from the means of production within the Republic of Fluid.

The formation or operation of for-profit enterprises in any form is strictly forbidden under this Constitution.

Only cooperatives that operate democratically and transparently, adhering to the principles established herein, may own and manage productive resources.

The general public, the body of all citizens collectively, is recognized as the ultimate proprietor of public wealth, with cooperatives acting as its democratic stewards.

International cooperatives may operate within the Republic, provided they comply fully with the cooperative ownership model, democratic governance standards, and local laws designed to protect community interests and economic sovereignty.

Individuals shall retain the right to personal property, including homes, personal belongings, and goods intended for individual or family use.

Personal property excludes any assets or resources that constitute means of production or commercial enterprise.

No individual may convert personal property into instruments of production without transforming it into a cooperative-owned entity in accordance with the established democratic economic framework.

The economy of the Republic of Fluid shall operate on the basis of real resources, labor, and social needs rather than monetary exchange or profit motives.

All production, distribution, and consumption decisions shall be made in accordance with the availability of tangible resources and the prioritized needs of citizens as determined by democratic planning processes.

Currency, financial markets, and speculative capital are abolished within the Republic and shall not form any part of economic life.

Democratic control over economic planning shall be exercised through a nested system of councils and assemblies encompassing the workplace, community, regional, and national levels.

Local Cooperative Assemblies: Each cooperative shall operate through democratic assemblies where members collectively decide on production goals, resource use, labor conditions, and social responsibilities.

Regional Economic Councils: Delegates from local cooperatives and community bodies shall coordinate regional economic activities, balancing local autonomy with inter-cooperative solidarity and resource sharing.

National Economic Congress: Representatives elected from Regional Economic Councils shall gather regularly to coordinate national production, distribution priorities, and strategic investment in infrastructure and social services.

These bodies shall function transparently, with open meetings and publicly available records to ensure accountability to the citizenry.

Citizens shall have access to a People's Economic Initiative Platform, allowing proposals for economic policies, cooperative reforms, or resource allocation changes to be submitted and deliberated. Proposals supported by at least 0.5% of the population shall advance to public discussion and voting.

Advanced technologies, including automation, data analytics, and participatory digital platforms, shall be tools to assist democratic planning, improve resource allocation efficiency, and reduce waste.

Such technologies shall remain under the full democratic control of the People's Economic Assemblies and are subject to ongoing public oversight to prevent misuse or concentration of control.

Economic proposals at the national level require participation by at least 60% of the eligible population to be considered valid.

Passage of proposals demands a majority vote of the participating citizens.

In areas or times of reduced direct participation, temporally provisional plans generated through technology-assisted democratic forums may be implemented but remain subject to continuous review and ratification by democratic assemblies.

All economic decisions must prioritize social welfare, equitable access to resources, and the safeguarding of ecological integrity.

Sustainable management of natural resources shall be a guiding principle, ensuring that economic development never compromises environmental health or the rights of future generations.

Cooperatives shall be responsible not only to their members but also to the broader society and ecosystems, integrating environmental stewardship into their operational mandates.

The introduction, promotion, or tolerance of exploitative economic activities, including profit-seeking enterprises, rent-seeking, speculative markets, or monopolistic behaviors, is expressly forbidden.

All cooperative enterprises shall operate on non-exploitative principles, distributing surplus equitably among members and reinvesting in social and communal well-being.
