The Committees for the Advance of the Revolution (French reformed: Comités pour l'Avance d'l'Révolution), abbreviated CAR, are a system of community organisations active throughout Gylias. They were established during the Golden Revolution, as a successor to various revolutionary cells, and are mainly active in promoting social welfare, social revolution, and popular mobilisation.
They are one of the key instruments of direct democracy in Gylias, together with communal assemblies and municipal and regional advisory councils.
History
Numerous voluntary organisations, social centres, and similar associations were established in the Free Territories during the Liberation War, as part of their spirit of social and cultural revolution. After the end of the war, the Committees for the Advance of the Revolution were established as a confederation and reorganisation of groups with an explicitly revolutionary focus.
The CAR played a leading role during the Golden Revolution, as part of a general movement that brought dramatic transformation of Gylian life, and fought against reactionism and social conservatism. It built close ties with the Anarchist Federation.
In the 1980s, the CAR came into conflict with the Aén Ďanez government, as the Revolutionary Rally controversially attempted to put the CAR under greater government control. Reforms under the Filomena Pinheiro government and Mathilde Vieira government strengthened the CAR's independence from governments and its position in civil society.
Since the 1990s, the CAR has collaborated more closely with People Power-Citizens' Movement.
Structure
The CAR are a platform for popular mobilisation and incubators of novel social experimentation. They are organised on a community level, with a degree of coordination regionally and federally.
Each CAR is run by internal direct democracy, electing an executive committee with a chair whose role is to moderate debate and oversee proceedings.
CAR are generally divided into two main tasks:
- Ideological — promoting political education, and recording overall revolutionary activity and character.
- Community service — planning activities and community work.
Activities
The primary responsibilities of the CAR include assisting with the organisation and administering of festivals, events, leisure activities, voluntary projects, social clubs, and political education.
Historically, the CAR have also played a significant role in campaigns for education, vaccination, sanitation, and beautification.
