Chapter Twelve – R(W)e-create our social story Pt IV

Politics

The word ‘politics’ comes from the Greek ‘politika’, to mean ‘affairs of the state’. As the state is supposedly made up of all the human beings living within this particular geographical area, politics is about OUR affairs. Currently, the system of politics enables corporations, and the few humans behind them, to have too great a say in the affairs of our state (which belongs to us all, equally). Through three simple changes to how social politics is done we will shift the balance of political social power back to where it should be, with all living beings who choose to participate. Remember that we are creating a new state already, the state of universal governance, and so these outside (external social structure) changes are just to make our lives easier (and to make it easier for our children to find their way to the one state).

Decentralise power (less power for National GVT, more power for local GVT)

100% politically transparent (it is our affairs that are being dealt with, we have a right to know. No longer will we accept government censorship, it is our role, as living participants of society, to protect the vulnerable – the government is just there to exercise our will, which is why we need…). At the end of the day , the living beings of the land are the checks and balances on the power of government – for us to do our job correctly we need full transparency (besides, there is nothing for our politicians to fear if our politicians have nothing to hide).

Participatory democracy (utilising technology/internet to enable all who wish real voting power in the social decision making process – possibly develop a system where those in a particular industry vote within that industry, such as health workers voting on health related topics; with issues effecting everyone, such as asset sales/oil drilling/new stadiums, open for all to vote). Ideally our system will evolve so that politicians are just administrators of the social decision making process; with the topics raised, given importance, solutions developed for, and decided upon, being open for all (who want) to directly participate. This being said, we have already talked about how real voting power (the social power) in this modern world is $$$ (money), and discussed ideas for improving our collective system.

Essentially we will see the role of government change to become an administrator of the social system, and (through various means described here, and by others) the weight of the social decision making process will be taken up by all those who create indeed.

Epilogue

The only real objection to the idea of true common rule is the erroneous claim that the common human lacks the mental ability to rule themselves without ending in ruin (this seems to be the reason some of the obscenely wealthy of the world believe gives them right to saturate our society with psychological manipulation, aka ‘perception management’). We, as a species, need to seriously consider what we want for ourselves.

Do we want our future to be dictated by corporate interests, meaning the interests of a few families of humans who maintain their wealth through an economic pyramid scheme and social mental abuse to distract, divide, and dominate will (suppress questioning and creativity that is not sanctioned)?

Or would we rather have more social power for each of us to be able to decide how our society evolves; do we want real lawful, economic, and political power? What are human rights anyway, if they are not the right to live in a society with a level, rational, playing field (and as it is us humans who create this playing field – is it not our right to have a say in how it looks, and in the rules of the game)?

Remember, rights are inert, no one is going to give them to you. If some group has been slowly taking your rights away from you, the only way you will get them back is through your action to claim what is yours – the right to create your life in accordance with universal principles.
