COMUNIDAD INDIVIDUAL MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT

This Membership Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into by and between Comunidad Individual (“the Trust”) and the undersigned individual (“the Member”). This Agreement establishes the terms and conditions governing the relationship between the Member, the Trust, and the Los Propietarios Community (“the Community”), which is located in Argentina and operates under the legal framework of the Government of Argentina (“the Government”).

1. COMMUNITY PRINCIPLES

1.1 Members must adhere to anarcho-capitalist principles, including but not limited to the Non-Aggression Principle (NAP), Private Property Rights, and the Free Market.

1.2 The Non-Aggression Principle (NAP) extends to children, prohibiting authoritarian parenting methods, including but not limited to physical punishment or yelling.

1.3 The Community has no formalized association with the Government, nor does it receive special privileges or preferential treatment.

2. MEMBERSHIP

2.1 To become a member of Los Propietarios and a beneficiary of the Trust, the candidate must successfully complete a certification test verifying alignment with anarcho-capitalist principles. The designated test provider is AncapCert https://ancapcert.com.

2.2 Upon successfully passing the test, the candidate joins the Community as a Member and acquires the right to homestead and freely use a designated plot of land within the Community, which is owned by the Trust.

3. LOT ASSIGNMENT

3.1 Members may select their lot from available plots upon arrival, with no individual receiving preferential treatment.

3.2 All lots shall be of equal size, with a minimum area of 1.000 square meters, though the final dimensions are yet to be determined.

3.3 A Member must formally claim their lot by completing the following steps: a. Providing official notification to the Trust; b. Marking the lot with visible fencing; c. Initiating homesteading.

3.4 If a Member claims a lot but fails to start the homesteading process within four (4) months or ceases it in an early stage for more than twelve (12) consecutive months, the Trust reserves the right to consider it abandoned and reassign the lot at its discretion. For details on reassignment modalities, refer to Article 8.

4. HOMESTEADING REQUIREMENTS

4.1 To be recognized as a properly homesteaded lot, it must exhibit clear evidence of use, improvement, development, or maintenance that aligns with the purpose of integrating human effort with the natural environment. Examples of such evidence may include, but are not limited to, the presence of people residing on or actively utilizing the property, a dwelling or other structures, ongoing construction, regular maintenance of the land (e.g., landscaping, fencing, or irrigation), cultivation of gardens, installation of utilities, or other tangible enhancements demonstrating active stewardship of the property.

4.2 No member of the community shall homestead more than one (1) lot within the community. Any attempt to claim, occupy, or develop additional lots, whether directly or indirectly, shall be deemed a violation of this agreement.

4.3 All homesteading activities must comply with local government laws, which permit the construction of residential buildings and small-scale commercial structures.

4.4 Any project exceeding the Trust or the Government parameters in size, scope, or nature requires prior written approval from both the Trust and the applicable local government authorities.

5. ROADS

5.1 Each lot shall have direct access to a road with a minimum width of 10 meters.

5.2 A road ownership is divided along its length, ensuring that half of the road is encompassed within one lot, and the other half is included in the lot situated in front of it.

5.3 Members possess a right of way on all lot delimiting roads within the Community to ensure unimpeded access.

5.4 Any obstruction of a Member’s right of way constitutes a violation and may cause legal action and potentially expulsion.

6. BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION

6.1 Members have full discretion over the aesthetic choices of their properties.

6.2 Property disputes related to construction shall be assessed based on precedent set by prior development in the area.

6.3 Members wishing to build strongly outside of established norms should select a distant lot to set a new standard.

6.4 Prior to construction near existing properties, Members are encouraged to communicate with neighbors to prevent disputes.

6.5 All disputes arising from construction shall be resolved through private arbitration as outlined in Section 7.

7. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

7.1 Each Member must contract with a legal service provider listed at https://lospropietarios.com/legal-service-providers.

7.2 The legal service provider shall ensure compliance with the Community’s principles and agreements.

7.3 Members agree to resolve disputes through mediation or arbitration in accordance with libertarian principles.

7.4 Resorting to state legal services is strongly discouraged as it may be considered a violation of the Non-Aggression Principle.

7.5 Social boycotts are permitted as a response to behavior deemed undesirable but not in violation of the NAP.

8. EXPULSION AND PROPERTY REASSIGNMENT

8.1 The Trust reserves the right to expel any Member who violates this Agreement, engages in unlawful activity, or disrupts the Community.

8.2 Expulsion results in forfeiture of rights to the lot, which shall be auctioned by the Trust.

8.3 Proceeds from the auction shall be distributed as follows: a. Deduction of penalties and auction costs; b. The remaining balance shall be returned to the expelled Member.

8.4 Until a buyer is found, any property present in the lot remains nominally owned by the expelled individual who, despite being banned, retains the right to appoint a member to perform maintenance if necessary.

9. TRUST DISSOLUTION

9.1 The Trustor may dissolve the Trust at any time.

9.2 Upon dissolution, beneficiaries shall gain Government’s ownership of the property they have been using at no additional cost, except for the legal procedures necessary to transfer title.

9.3 Following dissolution, no collective entity may own members’ lots or govern the Community. Each Member retains full ownership and decision-making authority over their property.

9.4 No permanent majority-rule system may be established. Disputes shall continue to be resolved through the established legal framework, and voluntary associations may be formed on a temporary basis with no right to enforce any rule to non-members.

10. TRUST FUNCTIONS

10.1 The Trust shall attract new Members through marketing initiatives and actively work to develop the Community by fostering both business growth and residential expansion.

10.2 The Trust shall serve as an intermediary to navigate local government regulations, offering legal support and assistance to streamline Members’ initiatives effectively.

10.3 When the Community is sufficiently socially self-sustaining, the Trustor shall dissolve the Trust.

11. COMMUNITY VALUES

11.1 While not mandatory, the following values are encouraged within the Community:

• Solidarity: Voluntary cooperation strengthens communal success.
• Tolerance: Members may hold different views but are encouraged to coexist peacefully.
• Self-Sufficiency: Members are free to sustain themselves independently.
• Trade: Local markets, bartering, and cryptocurrencies are preferred over traditional banking systems.
• Communication: Encrypted and decentralized platforms ensure free speech and privacy.
• Education: Community-based learning is favored over state-mandated curricula.
• Production: Local and sustainable manufacturing reduces reliance on centralized supply chains.
• Finance: Bitcoin and peer-to-peer lending are encouraged alternatives to traditional finance.

• Community Building: Local cooperation fosters resilience and self-reliance.

12. MISCELLANEOUS
