Manifesto of the Civic Autonomy Party (CAP):

Freedom with a Safety Net. Responsibility with Compassion. Technology with Ethics.

• Personal Autonomy Is Non-Negotiable
  Your body, your data, your decisions. Government out of your bloodstream and browser history.

• Markets Need Floorboards
  Free enterprise, yes—but no one should fall through the cracks. Portable, temporary safety nets only.

• Transparent Tech, Decentralized Power
  Break up monopolies, open-source civic algorithms, and ban surveillance capitalism.

• Healthcare That Doesn’t Own You
  Catastrophic coverage for all. Private opt-out encouraged. No job-based dependency.

• Universal Basic Infrastructure
  Clean water, education, and broadband—for everyone. Beyond that, you’re on your own.

• End Corporate Welfare Before Public Welfare
  Tax billionaires before you lecture baristas.

• Civic Duty Without Forced Dependence
  Empower citizens. Reward engagement. Don’t manufacture reliance.

• No Wars or Prisons for Profit
  End empire and the incarceration industry. Fund diplomacy and rehabilitation.

• Sovereign Communities
  Push power to the local level. Federalism that works for people.

• A Generational Truce
  No more boomer pensions and Gen Z anxiety. Reform housing, healthcare, and education sustainably.

This is not just a policy slate. It’s a structural framework built to function with or without central leadership. The Civic Autonomy Party doesn’t seek to rule—it seeks to dismantle dependency and replace it with dignity, tools, and trustless systems.

The Civic Autonomy Party isn’t a brand, a cult, or another exercise in political cosplay. It’s a structural blueprint for a post-partisan future—where citizens govern themselves through systems that are transparent, accountable, and built to be temporary. In The Civic Autonomy Party (CAP): A Manifesto for Structural Freedom, Mick's Non Fiction breaks down the cynical binaries of American politics: red vs. blue, freedom vs. compassion, security vs. privacy.

This is not a call to burn it all down—it’s a manual for building something better. From digital ID systems that preserve privacy to portable healthcare that doesn’t chain you to a job, CAP offers a realistic third-party framework that scales from city councils to federal policy. With a sardonic but unflinching tone, this book walks through 30 chapters of reforms, prototypes, and structural alternatives that don't rely on charismatic leaders or ideological obedience.

CAP doesn’t want to rule you. It wants to be obsolete—after it’s done replacing the decaying infrastructure of American governance with systems people can trust without needing to believe.

This is the anti-authoritarian, post-tribal, pro-functionality platform your vote has been waiting for.
