How Governmental Commicracy Operates in Practice: From Tax States to Service States
BY: OMOLAJA MAKINEE
Modern governments were built to manage money, power, and obedience. Commicratic governments are built to manage service, responsibility, and reciprocity. This difference is not cosmetic—it is structural, ethical, and civilisational.
Where bureaucratic States focus on taxation, profit extraction, and hierarchical compliance, governmental commicracy regulates economic life through service accountability. Its core instrument is not the tax code, not political decree, and not capitalist market discipline, but the Annual Statement of Service (ASS).
The ASS report is not a financial document. It is a civic accountability record.
1. From Political Government to Govoxical Government
In bureaucratic systems, government is fundamentally political:
- Power is derived from party dominance,
- Regulation serves capital accumulation,
- Compliance is enforced through vertical authority,
- Workers are invisible beyond payroll and tax contributions.
In commicratic systems, government is govoxical:
- Power is derived from the collective voice of service,
- Regulation serves social functionality,
- Accountability is horizontal and continuous,
- Every worker is visible as a service contributor.
The govoxical State does not ask first, “How much money did you make?” It asks, “What service did you perform—and how well?”
2. The Annual Statement of Service (ASS): The Core Regulatory Instrument
The ASS report is the primary interface between individuals, companies, and the commicratic State. Every worker—whether in the employee-division or supervisory-division—submits an ASS that documents:
- The scope of services performed,
- The commissioning rules under which they operated,
- Their compliance with Articles of Service,
- Their contribution to collective outcomes,
- Any deviations, disputes, or disciplinary flags.
Unlike tax returns, the ASS:
- Is service-based, not income-based,
- Evaluates functionality, not profit,
- Applies equally to all roles,
- Is continuous across economic sectors.
This ensures that no role enjoys regulatory immunity.
3. Ending Managerial Supremacy: Articles of Service as Legal Ceiling
A defining transformation introduced by governmental commicracy is this:
Supervisors possess no inherent superiority of authority over employees.
Any authority a supervisor holds exists only because it is:
- Explicitly granted by the Articles of Service certificate,
- Bounded by role definition,
- Revocable through regulatory review.
The ASS framework enforces this reality in practice. If a supervisor exceeds their authorised scope—by coercion, overreach, or abuse—their ASS records it. If an employee violates their service obligations, the same applies.
There is no managerial class shielded by hierarchy. There is no employee class hidden beneath it. Both are equally visible to government regulation.
4. Government as Commissioning Arbiter, Not Employer Ally
In bureaucratic capitalism, governments instinctively align with:
- Employers,
- Investors,
- Corporate entities.
Workers are regulated indirectly—through labour law, minimum wage, or taxation.
In governmental commicracy, the State aligns with service integrity itself. The government regulatory body:
- Audits ASS reports,
- Cross-references organisational performance,
- Evaluates reciprocity between roles,
- Issues rewards or penalties accordingly.
Rewards may include:
- Service credits,
- Public service recognition,
- Priority access to national projects,
- Reduced regulatory burdens.
Penalties may include:
- Temporary suspension of service rights,
- Mandatory retraining,
- Public service demerits,
- Removal from supervisory eligibility for a set-time or indefinitely.
Crucially, penalties apply equally to supervisors and employees.
5. Horizontal Accountability in National Economic Life
The ASS framework establishes horizontal accountability across the entire economy. A cleaner, an engineer, a supervisor, a software architect, and a platform administrator are all:
- Individually accountable,
- Equally regulated,
- Directly answerable to commissioning-rules that governs their industry.
This is what produces equality of power-reciprocity. Economic life becomes:
- Transparent,
- Traceable,
- Ethically grounded,
- Resistant to exploitation.
No one can hide behind corporate structure. No one can weaponise hierarchy. No one can outsource moral responsibility.
6. Why Commicratic Government Is Not Anti-Market—but Post-Capitalist
Governmental commicracy does not abolish markets. It subordinates markets to service. Money becomes a secondary instrument—useful, but not decisive. What matters is:
- Contribution,
- Reliability,
- Competence,
- Reciprocity.
Capitalism measures value in currency. Commicracy measures value in functionality. This shift resolves a historic contradiction:
- Capitalist States regulate profit.
- Socialist States regulate ownership.
- Commicratic States regulate service.
7. Preventing Abuse Without Micro-management
One of the greatest strengths of governmental commicracy is that it:
- Prevents abuse,
- Without micro-managing labour.
The State does not:
- Dictate daily tasks,
- Monitor productivity minute-by-minute,
- Control internal workflows.
Instead, it enforces:
- Clear service boundaries,
- Transparent accountability,
- Post-performance evaluation.
The ASS acts as a civil mirror—reflecting behaviour back to the system.
8. From Control Societies to Responsibility Societies
Bureaucratic governance creates control societies:
- Surveillance replaces trust,
- Compliance replaces competence,
- Fear replaces dignity.
Governmental commicracy creates responsibility societies:
- Autonomy replaces obedience,
- Accountability replaces control,
- Service replaces status.
Every individual knows:
“I am not controlled because I am trusted—and I am trusted because I am accountable.”
Conclusion: The State That Regulates Service, Not Power
Governmental commicracy represents a civilisational shift. It ends:
- Managerial supremacy,
- Political patronage,
- Capitalist immunity.
And replaces them with:
- Service accountability,
- Horizontal authority,
- Govoxical regulation.
By binding every worker—supervisory or not—directly to commissioning-rules through the Annual Statement of Service (ASS) report, the commicratic State ensures that power cannot accumulate vertically, and that economic life remains reciprocal, ethical, and functional. This is not governance by ideology. It is governance by service.
And in a world where work has become distributed, digital, and autonomous, only a commicratic government can regulate it without destroying it.
