Democracy allows all people to have broadly equal access to the necessary means to participate meaningfully in decisions about things which affect their lives. Capitalism creates inequalities between people, in a capitalist society those with capital hold power, while those without hold none. The strategy challenges current power relations through subverting and challenging private claims to space, it allows for the claiming of territory through formal and informal means. Those with informal claims to space are equal to those who have a formal claim to space, with each actor participating in decision making. The industries occupying the site have little say in the future of the site, nor their own futures which has created a sense of insecurity. Through collective multiple “ownerships” the future of the site can be determined by those whose lives rely on it.

Empowerment is the subordination of economic power to social power, it is the act of releasing the power that’s embedded within individuals and groups to fight for a worthy cause, whether that is actively or passively. It can essentially overturn those holding capital power. Poland has a strong history of empowerment of the people, through the solidarity movement and the orange alternative to fight for injustice of governmental control. With high unemployment within the country, including graduate unemployment, increased job insecurities, working in poor conditions, and increased class divisions and poverty risks, there is increasing need for social change. The strategy utilises these groups to fight for the injustices on the site, overturning the Celtic ownership through passive techniques of occupation, offering security for the site as Celtic move out and ownership is handed over to a multiple of people working for the common good. It allows individuals and groups to take ownership of their own lives, working for personal human survival within a society which fundamentally favours capital and efficiency over human need and survival.

Reciprocity is the practice of exchanging things with others for mutual benefit, the strategy works on this concept in three ways: on an environmental level, the strategy aims to limit wastefulness by looking at industrial symbiosis to explore networks of industrial companies on site that could exchange waste flows and share resources; on a business level, the strategy looks at the concept of mutual benefit between businesses/industries, pushing for collective growth to form a polyopoly in contrast with the current oligopoly market; on a human level, the strategy works to give groups and individuals a chance to step up onto the market without the need for capital by the use of a barter exchange system of goods, knowledge, services and labour. Reciprocity involves the human element of exchange in physical space, allowing for physical human interactions, and transforming place through activity. The strategy requires that any business/industry or individual/group entering onto the site must be to the benefit of someone else as well as themselves, and works through non-capital means within the current capitalist environment.
