Why certain other proposed new systems would be more difficult to implement, and why the method of transition is the most important part of achieving a new system that would provide for everyone.
The transition into the LOVE System has to be done through government. My goal is not to make sure only my family is provided for, but to make sure everyone in the world is provided for.
Trying to change the capitalist system by starting a small community of farmers and community workers would not work to bring about a moneyless system. As long as we are living under the rule of current government law and capitalism we can’t have a free system like what Ubuntu, Venus Project and many other proposals.
Say one small rural town wanted to try it, everyone begins the plan, but then police come knocking on doors to evict everyone because their mortgage is in default. When a mortgage is in default, the government has protection laws that were created for the capitalists, the government also has property tax laws as well as various other laws that dictate what we can and can’t do on the land we occupy. In the reality of capitalism we can’t just live off the lands (grow farms, collect rainwater, etc.) because we aren’t the actual owners of the lands, the banks are, and the government has laws that protect the bank's interests and property.
Even if the people from that small town continue to pay their mortgages and do their Ubuntu system on the side a few hours a week, it still wouldn’t work because the property will always be owned by the banks and the government instead of we the people. Plus if the people are still working to make money to pay their fictional debts, they are still living in the wage/debt slave system of capitalism. Capitalism can’t be escaped from without going through the rule of law by a benevolent government. This is why government needs to truly become ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’, Not ‘of the capitalist, by the capitalists, and for the capitalists’. The whole world system is based in capitalism, the financial laws of government protect capitalism.
Let’s say I decided to start such a system as Ubuntu, I plant my whole yard with a food garden, I begin giving my extra food to my neighbors, and they begin to appreciate the gesture and begin their own gardens and do the same thing, share with their neighbors. Soon the whole town is doing it, but, the whole town is still living in capitalism backed up by laws of government, the mortgages of the whole town still have to be paid or the eviction notices will be given to everyone in the town.
The point is, that the best way to change this world is through proper benevolent government. Government is the only way to assure everyone is being provided for, and to make sure greedy psychopaths don’t try to bully and take advantage of peaceful people. If we just suddenly ended government, the capitalist would then take over even more, it would then be corporate capitalist rule, more than it is now, in other words the corporations would become government.
What I’m really trying to say is that, if we just started a community much like the Amish have, there would be no oversight of if others around the world are being ruled by authoritarians. Living happy, cut of from the world in a community like that is just an apathetic and naive way of just thinking or believing by faith (without knowing for sure) that the rest of the world is doing the same thing, happy and uncontrolled by authoritarians. With the state of the current human condition, the world needs oversight for the greater good, to make sure noone is trying to malevolently rule over people.
Not to mention that many weapons exists in this world, military arms and facilities exist in this world, and somebody has to make sure those places are either shut down and destroyed or at the very least monitored, regulated and kept at bay to make sure people in possession of those massive weaponry and armies aren’t forcing authoritarian rule over people. So, if you are running your nice little community off the grid, you are essentially saying “fuck the rest of the world, let them figure shit out on their own, let them fend for themselves…”, that is avoidance of the real problems, it’s escapism not inclusivism. It all comes down to running a proper government oversight system to assure that “Everyone” is truly “Free” from authoritarian rule.
I have naively believed since I was a kid, that the government needs to just be shut down so that we can just live how we want without their controls and stupid laws, but over the past many years I have come to realize the ugly truth, that without some kind of worldwide oversight, people will just become slaves in a much worse system. Government is needed, but just not in the way it operates now.
The fact is, that there are bad people in the world, people who are badly programmed and ignorant, people that are violent, people that try to control and manipulate others. We can eventually bring about a world without these kinds of people, but we must acknowledge that bad and ignorant people (even within our families, and friends, not just people among the rich elite) are here on this Earth now. If we just ended government it would be chaos and disorder everywhere, like Mad Max world, because noone would know what the hell is going on and there would be no structure or order to make sure everyone is getting essential life-sustaining needs met, it would become a ‘fend for yourself, fuck everybody else’ environment.
Earth’s resources need to be common property of each and every person on this world, not owned and controlled by a few greedy, power hungry elite. Without some type of regulatory government system in place we would never be able to achieve peace and harmony, we would not have control and oversight of the means and resources of mediums like mass media, tv or internet to inform and educate enough people to avoid chaos and disorder.
The best way to change this world for the better is through government with the help of mass media. To change the world for the better, everyone must be informed as to what is going on and what the plans and goals are. In our current world, people are ignorant and indoctrinated within the corrupt system of government and capitalism. People just memorize and repeat misinformed lies and misconceptions passed along from our uneducated peers and the media around them. We have been under the rule of indoctrination for countless generations, we can’t just expect that if we suddenly ended capitalism and government that we would become a better world, as a society we are already too psychologically and emotionally damaged as well as too indoctrinated and uneducated to see, understand or comprehend the realities of this current world and the human condition, and much less how to change it to make it better for everyone.
This is why education and information on a mass level is the only way to bring this world to the eventual Utopia it can be, but we must start by gaining control of government, and from there take control of all the negative and indoctrinated media resources, to begin broadcasting real truth and solutions to the masses all at once. Otherwise, we are a water facet trying to reroute a raging river. Sure, a few people can change certain laws or rules, but to change an entire system it takes the majority of the population to be involved, and for them to be involved it takes public broadcasting of information to the masses through mass worldwide media sources, otherwise too many people are left in the dark and will oppose any changes we try to make simply because they are not properly informed.
Unfortunately, even I have to participate in our current capitalist money system to eat and live right now, so I need to go work on some equipment in my workshop to make some money. If I was like most of society though, I would have just woken up and been so-called responsible and went straight to work to get the work done, but I have trained myself to not allow distraction and money keep me from doing what needs to be done to improve this world, if it means putting things off til later, that’s what I do. Inspiration doesn’t always come when it’s convenient, so when it does come we must take advantage of those moments and do what needs to be done for the greater good. Capitalism keeps us in a state of distraction, keeping us focused on making money in a system that we have to have money to survive, infinite slavery and distraction. If we don’t allow ourselves to be controlled and manipulated by such a system, we can achieve so much more in this world to make it better for everyone.
There is so much more I need to write write right now, but I will have to do it as I go along because I still have certain obligations to others directly around me, I have to balance my time between making a little money and doing what is right for the world. Most people allow ‘all’ their time to be used up doing nothing but earning money and then winding down from a hard day of making money by entering a state of apathy and avoidance by drinking and drugging, watching meaningless television, news, sports, video games, eating, shopping…… instead of using most of their free time to “Think” about things, how the world operates, the human condition, how it can be better, steps needed to try to make it better….. Until we can gain control of our governments so that we can then change the system by informing the public about the indoctrinated human condition and all that’s wrong with the system we are controlled by, we will continue to be a facet trying to stop a river.
I wish I could write everything in my head in one session, but unfortunately I can’t, it would take years. So, since I don’t have the time right now to expand further and touch on all the topics that may seem unanswered in this blog, please try to think through it to see the bigger picture, but if the answers still don’t seem to come to you, keep questioning everyday, all the time, and they may just begin to start flowing in. Until next time, Love One Another! I Love You!
