The communities have given up some of their powers to the cantonal level (in fact this is where most of the real power lies). Cantons have given some of their powers to the federal government. It's easy to see how it works via the tax split. The canton collects the taxes, and 40% goes to the community, 40% to the canton and 20% to the federal government.
Not all communities give their citizens a say in who can naturalise. For some it's just a box-ticking exercise, approved by a committee - 12 years residence, no criminal record, no unpaid debt, likely to be able to support themselves, speaks the local official language, pays (or likely to, for students) taxes, agrees with Swiss law and custom, doesn't withdraw into a ghetto of their fellow nationals.Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!Comment
