: what would be a good, concise term for "grassroots initiatives to build alternative social structures founded on radical principles, focusing on the 'building up' and mutual social support part rather than the 'tearing down' part?"

I'm looking for something less specific than 'mutual aid', also encompassing the somewhat more abstract and semi-centralized movements, but not including institutional efforts.

@joepie91 This seems related to dual power, but I’m not sure if “building up dual power” is the phrase you are looking for.

@timorl That's more or less what I'm going for, but "building up dual power" refers more to the overarching principles and organization, rather than any one particular effort that a given person might be involved in.

So essentially I'm looking for a slightly more specific term, to refer to the activity rather than the philosophy, if that makes sense.

@joepie91 Hm, I never heard an instance of building up dual power referred to in any way that was shorter than “an instance of building up dual power” (although this specific phrase is very clunky :P). I suspect you can just coin something then.
