Chapter 4: Organization of the Commons' Convention -part 2-
4.5. The Commons' Convention and the Economic Plan
Another pillar that characterizes the Commons' Convention as a comprehensive governing organization is its duty to approve the economic plan. A truly communist economic plan is a voluntary joint plan by the business entities that are the subject of the plan, and is deliberated and formulated by an Economic Planning Conference that is separate from the Commons' Convention.
The economic plan that is finally approved by the Economic Planning Conference is then sent to the General (or Federal) Commons' Convention, where it is deliberated and approved before it can take effect. As a result, the economic plan is not the law itself, but it is not merely a policy outline either; it becomes a binding standard that is close to a law.
The above is the case for production plans related to production activities at the national level, but for consumption plans related to consumption in each local level, the Consumer Business Cooperative of each Provincial Area (or Zonelet) will formulate a plan, which will then be discussed and approved by the Commons' Convention of the Provincial Area (or Zonelet).
This dual representative system, with the Commons' Convention leading politics and the Economic Planning Conference leading the planned economy based on the idea of autonomous joint planning by business entities rather than the administrative command-style of the former Soviet Union, is referred to here as a political-economic bicameral system.
However, since the Commons' Convention and the Economic Planning Conference are organizations with completely different roles and characteristics in this system, it should not be confused with the term "bicameral system," which refers to both houses of the parliamentary system.
