So that I can get a feel for where you are coming from, is your belief system that of evolution, natural law, athiesm, one of the major religions, agnosticism, or a combination of the above/ other?
That question is just to complicated to answer in a post.. I can tell you however its a quite unusual combination of many of the aboves and others.
To make things easy for me, I'll use the Wiki definition:
That definition pretty much goes against the grain of human psychology and development if you are an adherent to evolution or natural law. It does tie in with many of the philosophies of organized religion. I don't personally think that this is possible in reality because people, no matter what they say and no matter what they want, believe that we are all individuals with inherent strengths and flaws. We may have all come from the same "place", but we are all different. In theory, the idea is nice, but in reality, it doesn't work.
The problem is, we must make it work, we must change human psychology. We can do that, we have done it before.. Human nature is savage, yet, our society is not that savage as it would be if we followed nature. And the combination of different models is the way it can work. Everyone wants happiness, freedom.. Everybody needs food and a place to live. Collectively we can take care of those to accomplish communism, and let a free but law regulated fair free market take care of the rest. That market, as oppose to how it works now need huge reforms to make it fair.
Politics is in dier need of reform. We must go against "human nature" on this and collectively take on responsibility for our all common good. We must remove all positions of powers, and draft a parliament, force those to be independent, and vote independent on all new laws or actions. Of those we must draft a board of leaders to take the "short term" decisions, in case of crisis or need of rapid actions. Both these parts of governments must be changed frequently, every year or so. People must have much more education in state science, politics and current events for such a draft system to work.
Those political institutions, must by law guarantee that every vote is independent. Meaning that political life is a lonely life, lived in isolation.
Over simplification, but you get the idea of how a REAL democracy must eventually become.
It would work great. :rofl
Imo, due to the human propensity for belief in some type of religious ideology, the desire for a power figure is quite common, whether it be God, Nature, or Politicians.
By human nature it is natural to kill. Yet we changed our ways, and we certainly can on other issues as well.
Education must be different post revolution
People must be made intelligent and aware, people must be made healthy and with skills and abilities. Only from there can we reach towards real freedom, as oppose to what we call freedom today.
My neighbor is responsible for his own happiness as I am for mine. My two cars have nothing to do with his misery, unless he feels like he has been cheated. Is the human on the other side of the world incapable of learning how to obtain his own food? Imo, the vast majority of humans are capable. How did all these humans survive before other humans thought that they needed to provide for them?
He was born into ignorance, he didnt have any right to schooling.. Thats NOT his fault he is starving and can do nothing about it. Everyones happiness is everyones responsibility. We must change our ways. Imagine how much bigger the contribution to our common progress if everyone was educated, as oppose to just a small part of humanity.
I work to pay my own way. The guy I work for- the one in the glass tower building, has worked all his life as well. He had the innovation or luck, depending on your point of view, to make it to the glass tower. Is he any happier than me? I doubt it. Imo, working an honest job is not slavery, and I don't resent the guy in the tower. He's human just as I am, and he has his own problems to deal with that money can't fix.
By the guy in the glass tower, I was more referring to the banker whos only work is to steal your money, and use that money to steal more money. Why should we work double the hours we need on average to finance a rich mans luxuries?
Labour is the ultimate value, the weight of it, and the need for it, common responsibility and common prosperity.
Why should people work to feed a black hole, as oppose to help his African soulmate across on the other side of the globe, to reach his happiness?
Happiness afterall is to give/help, not to steal, take and feed own addiction. I dont believe that, that the fat man who only eats is happy.
