General Guidlines
La Konfederisto aims to offer writers from all over Europe the opportunity to publish their opinions and ideas without any fear of persecution or discrimination, yet there are some guidelines which should be followed when submitting a piece.
Relevance
Submissions ought be relevant, meaning they should include some tie to Europe, European reformism, democracy and one of the main topics of the site. It doesn't mean that a piece alluding to something irrelevant is unacceptable, only that it shouldn't be the main topic.
Profanity
Profanity can be effective and emotive in the right place and used sparingly. That being said, any over use of bad language will be censored.
Citations & Plagiarism
Please cite everything that requires citations. Be they references to numbers, dates, facts, events, quotations, they should all include a link or citation to the original source. Everything should be the author's own work and permission should be obtain if you wished to use anything from anyone else's work.
What Won't be accepted
Despite the flexibility, there are of course rules and restrictions for submissions.
No Sectarianism
La Konfederisto is a humanist magazine with an anti-sectarian theme. Any allusion to sectarianism in any form from any ideology will not be accepted. All this includes sectarianisms based on race, gender, sexuality, religion, tribe, politics, country and class.
No Violence
Leading on from the anti-sectarianism, any promotion of violence towards another group or country will not be accepted. An exception to this rule is if an author wanted to argue for humanitarian intervention but only if it is argued well with no sectarian appeal.
No Authoritarianism or Totalitarianism
La Konfederisto is a democratic magazine with democratic principles. Therefore it rejects any form of anti-democratic lines of thought or anything which goes against the rights of the individual. In addition, anything which promotes the restriction of the rights of a group comes under sectarianism and will be banned.
No Pornography
La Konfederisto will not publish erotica or pornography, that is photos and videos which are sexually explicit in any way, shape or form.
No Advertising
La Konfederisto is not open to advertise any products or services. It is a space for writers and not a space for commercial promotion.
