Beyond the name of a Movement, Constructivists live and practice the five points of the movement line. The following publication will be an expansion of these points to serve as a general guidance for our members and aspiring Constructivists.

1. "Enlightenment through Participation"
Enlightenment of the human mind occurs only through active physical participation. This is the belief that "uncertain or indifferent" citizens will only be enlightened to the efforts of Our Benefactors via activities hosted either by the Constructivist Movement or other collaborative bodies.
Practice: Organization of community-involved activities by the Constructivists on behalf of Our Benefactors. (Example: District Watch, Food Drives)

2. "Meritocracy through Engagement"
Merit is not a measure of usefulness at work but engagement with the superstructure. Individuals that are active in fostering engagement with the Movement, through the Movement, and with general political affairs should be the ones that are promoted in our meritocracy. Therefore, it is not enough for a Constructivist to simply be a "good" worker, doctor, researcher, or a journalist, but to also be a politically engaged individual.
Practice: Propose legislations, attend meetings, be actively involved in the political structure that Our Benefactors have graciously granted.

3. "Loyalty through Construction"
Loyalty is a social construct that can both be built and reinforced. While this concept might not be applicable to certain anti-social elements of our society, the Constructivist Movement seeks to maintain, reinforce, foster loyalty in the citizenry. This construction will require continued effort and time, with the benefit being the ideological isolation of the unsavable terrorists from an otherwise cohesive community. In addition, a Constructivist acknowledges that constructed loyalty is more persistent than material loyalty or innate loyalty.
Practice: Recruit promising elements from the general citizenry for loyalty construction. Afterwards, expand the construction to their associates.

4. "Progress through Thinking"
Societal progress is not solely achieved via advancements of the material. Behind the drumbeats of current policies, incremental reforms, and the obsession of laying a heavy hand on the anti-civil, the present is only a transition. The Constructivist Movement looks towards the future, hoping to reap the the fruits planted by Our Benefactors and harvested by our collective labor.

To think solely in the present or the past are unproductive to the construction of human future. It cannot be denied that it is necessary to reject humanity's pre-enlightenment concepts and punish transgressions - it is a Constructivist's belief that guilt is not the best motivator. Dwelling on the sins of certain individuals, aspects of the community, and of our ancestors will do more harm on the process of construction.

Therefore, to achieve societal progress is to also achieve progressive thinking. Every action, decision, policy made today, should be contributed towards the construction of our inevitable utopian future, not as reactions to pressing challenges.
Practice: Plan ahead, reaction to a crisis should not solely be "how do we fix this", but also "how do we avoid this in the future and become even better."

5. "Individuality through Community"
The individual can only excel in the community. An individual's personal characteristics and qualities are not self-centered, they are instead wholly reliant on the continuation of a cohesive community. Therefore, to progress, improve as an individual, we must recognize the importance of Communitarian thinking.

The Individual must flourish, and this will only be achieved through the collective emancipatory-enlightenment of the Community. As Individuals, we are nothing without the Community, and the collapse of the Community should be the wholesale death of Individuality. This must be prevented.
Practice: Self-interested thinking should become interchangeable with group-interested thinking - and by extension, group-interested thinking shall be recognized as communitarian thinking.
