# /1 Taking Responsibility for Financial Care / Subsistence

## // Basic Idea

Part of an emancipatory care organising also means taking responsibility for each other on a financial level and being able to relate to each other solidarily in this sphere as well. **The primary goal is to collectively ensure that financial collectivisation frees up resources for political work and emancipatory ways of relating.**

## // Context-Dependent Negotiation

The concrete form of a communised financial practice will depend heavily on the respective context of the group and requires conscious negotiation that addresses existing needs and fears as well as structural dimensions – such as the class composition of the group, the job and financial situation of individuals, etc. – and mediates these with regard to the group's political goals.

## // Exemplary Practice

As an exemplary example, people have agreed on a benchmark that allows all persons to have at least **€850 + rent** available monthly.

## // Dealing with Reserves / Inheritance / Wealth

**Definition of basic needs:** €1,750 (€850 plus standardised rent)

- **"Untouchable" reserve:** 6 months of basic needs = **€10,500**
- **Between 6 and 12 months of reserve:** linear percentage deduction
- **From 12 months of reserve (€21,000):** no financing from the solidarity fund
