The Society Branch is led by the Civic who is also in charge of 7th Legion and its initiatives. The Civic’s job involves advocating Neoism on domestic and local platforms through engaging and forming political parties, governments, and grassroots activist organizations that act as proxy advocates for Synthesis and its objectives.
The Civic is also charged with mobilization of members where events such as protests and other such social activist techniques are involved. The office is expected to outsource its support and expertise to local causes that specific in orientation and thus build up the 7th Legion name in local communities so as to make it a place to turn when citizens feel cheated, ignored, or discriminated against by existing power structures.
The Society Department also orientates its efforts toward forming local clubs and bodies where like-minded activists can hold dialogue and decide on agendas that they pursue independently of the central structure but still within the parameters of fundamental social development. The idea revolves around the concept of when a supranational organization is installed at the helm of the international system, it won’t be enough for that organization just to stand alone. It must be part of a wider system, network, and ethos that is present at all levels of society and in all spheres of human interaction. It is only through these means that human rights and humanitarian documents can be projected onto a popular movement of society.
All successful movements, whether they be religious, social, or political, cultivate grassroots contacts and outsource responsibility to local organizations that can talk about issues that matter to the local communities in terms of humanitarianism and the need for a more stable international order.
Part of the failings of organizations like the United Nations has been a failure to establish a strong grassroots support containing people willing to speak in defense of the values espoused by the UN in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other binding documents. This makes the universal ideal of human rights easier to attack on the domestic level since there are no representatives of a coherent supranational ethos within society. This is what the Society Department seeks to change.
