Calpollism is a socioeconomic system of Zacapine origin related to communalism and mutualism emerging from the ancient calpolli, a unit of social organization in pre-modern Zacapican. The Calpollist economy is one based on the principle of worker ownership and self-management at level of the factory, power plant, or other productive institution. Although in concept calpollism espouses the free market ideal, the implementation of the calpollist economy has followed a dirigiste trend far exceeding simple market regulation as the economic role of the state has transcended the level of market failure correction and taken on the role of meticulously coordinating the functions of many thousands of calpolli and their corresponding economic products and demands to ensure the general health and wellbeing of the overall economy.
History
In pre-modern times, the term calpolli referred to the ward of a city or an outlying town within the orbit of a city state. The early calpolli system, a version of which is still practiced in rural Zacapican, was based on the common ownership of the land by the local community on a small scale. Such calpolli consisted of a handful of familial clans, the members of which had a right to use and profit from the common lands of the calpolli. The calpolli residents possessed personal property but did not own the land or buildings, which were constructed and maintained by the community. These calpolli were the basic building blocks of society, in particular the Nahua-dominated society of Aztapamatlan which reorganized the territories it conquered into city-states subdivided into a number of urban and rural calpolli.
