Manifesto for a New World Order

Aspiring for a human race that is fair, sustainable and free...

1. We are inspired and driven by many waters of political thought. Republicanism taught
us that the autonomy of the individual should always trump the privileges of
inheritance. Democracy convinced us that the decisions of leaders of any institution
should be informed not by personal incentives, but by the needs and interests of those
around them. Anarchism sees that all forms of authority are devised and artificial and
should be subject to critical thought. Communism dreamed universal solidarity of
humankind. Conservatism knows not to squander the earth.
2. We are aware that the structures of our political reality are made and imagined: no
language, legal framework or system of rights is absolute. Our schools, our factories,
our stores, our constitutions; all of our institutions are human inventions and we resent
when the presiding or executive control of these creations enslaves us. We resent
when entrenched policies, precedents and systems rule over our possibilities for the
future. We believe that all human office and direction should be open to the lights of
criticism and revision and that knowledge and information should never be owned by
and manipulated for the benefits of the few.
3. We believe that an enlightened people can transcend the divisions of ethnicities
genders, classes, faiths, parties, and nations, and that only by transcending these
divisions can we create equality and wealth for all.
4. We understand that only foundation for our existence is our biological incarnation and
we hold the earth, which sustains us, to be sacred. We know that the body and brain
and mind are destined for death and awareness of our limited time here informs our
way of life.
5. We welcome the visions and perspectives of the many religious traditions that have
grown upon the earth. We understand that religious culture is shaped by evolution and
encourage the developments of religious thought in all spheres of human life.
However, we can see that we live in a time of spiritual confusion and aimlessness:
The culture that has come to dominate the earth was once led by God; in our time
many have come to question his laws, his account of our origins and destiny and even
his existence. While some continue to await his final coming, religiosity and the
questions and mysteries of existential thought have been stripped from our public
discourses and medias.
6. Lacking a unified conception of human identity or being, the artifices of politics and
entertainment have become overwhelmed by animosities, antagonisms, and conflict.
We retreat into communities or companies of exclusive membership. Meanwhile our
societies have felt the unprecedented growth of mental or spiritual illness and disease,
from depression or isolation and the conditions of anxiety or fear and to most severely
the lunatics who have stricken out in freak attacks of murder and terrorism. While
policy-makers have heralded scientific thinking as the standard for practice, scientific
psychiatry, the official and legislated authority on the mind, has provided no compass
in guiding our faltering culture, only a handbook of disorders gerrymandered to benefit
the pharmaceutical corporations that offer regimens of chemical aids for soul. Neither
have our members or government, preoccupied by self-promotion and performance
succeeded in guiding the spirits and hearts of our people. In our private lives we may
follow spiritual practices and guidance but the spiritual culture of the public sphere is
devoid and lacking.
7. At the twilight the last century we discovered that the ecosystem of our planet was
endangered the by industrial development of our nations. We know that we depend
upon the consumption of vast quantities of energy in order to support our cities, our
transportation, our technologies and our homes. But our new awareness of the
detrimental impact we are effecting to our planet demands a new ethos for our
technological and material development.
8. We believe that the extraction of natural resources and the development of
infrastructure and products must no longer be executed for the purpose of bolstering
private wealth. It is not enough for governments to regulate, at arms length, the
operations of our industries. We must have companies which exist in order to serve
the planet and our species rather than themselves, we will fight to create them.
9. We despise the corporate empires which systematically exploit workers around the
globe. Though these economic structures are supported and defended by the law we
see that they are fundamentally unfair and undemocratic and actively seek to change
them.
10. We decry the ideal and celebration of economic growth. While seeking to end
unemployment and poverty we should
11. We reject the claim that an economy depends upon antagonistic competition. We
believe a more productive economy is one in which the methods and modes of
production can be openly shared between peoples.
12. We reject the moral legitimacy of franchises, patents, trade secrets and exclusive
access. We reject the laws that the proponents of such practices have created in order
to defend their dominions over words and ideas; whether the names and trademarks of
organizations or the methods and brands of production. Such laws have enabled
producers of drugs, food, clothing, machines and information to reserve control over
abilities which should be available to all; they serve corporate interests rather than the
free market or the public. We believe that knowledge of a businesses which serves
democracy should be openly available to the public, that any business should be free
to copy or draw inspiration from the practices of any other. While disallowing
exclusivity of knowledge may subtract from an entitys possibilities for Only by allowing
the freedom of knowledge and information, we can create a society which maximizes
the possibilities of creativity and entrepreneurship in all human practices. Human
society has only begun to tap into the possibilities of biological, electrical and
computational technology and we should not enforce the mechanisms of control which
halt our potentials for development.
13. We believe that no organization should never be structured despotically. Presidents,
ministers, priests, boards, chiefs, executives, and officers must be accountable to
those that they lead. A truly democratic society is one in which the market is
democratic together with the state, we work to create one. and we demand this
change in the institutions of production, technology, and resale. Electoral politics is not
the only or best form of democracy. Direct democracy can be facilitated within
hierarchies of organization is leadership made accountable to their subordinates in all
their project and developments. In business the operations of organization should
never be locked into command, policy or protocol. Firstly, workers should always have
the freedom to transform and develop the practices in which they play a role.
14. We understanding that money is a human invention and that its function since its
creation has always been to enable the powerful to dominate and rule the weak. At the
dawn of the 20th first century we see mountainous reserves of wealth contrasted with
extreme poverty. All of us, every worker and every small or medium sized business
relies upon the trickling down from these fortunes in order to sustain secure ourselves.
 Meanwhile, the very wealthy, celebrated and envied in financial culture, direct the
course of planet.
15. We recognize the need, today, to depend upon the system of capital in order to ensure
accountability for labor. However, we see that using wealth in order to create further
wealth is a meaningless way of life. We believe that wealth should always serve first to
alleviate international poverty and suffering and second to foster human development
and flourishing in the creation of the technological and symbolic infrastructure. We
know that a redirection of our economy could create a planet more fair and more free
and we demand to create it. Public service and the creation of well-being should not be
the incidental work of charities of nonprofits, but the fundamental and only function of
wealth.
16. We regard the international system of stocks and the trades on the stock market as a
corruption of the concept of ownership and reject the stock market as a measure of the
health of nations. What began as a system by which entrepreneurs could seek support
for new ventures has deteriorated into an arbitrary system in which stakeholders
distant to the operations of an organization gamble for their own ends. But those who
have invested in ownership of names are cognizant of the risks of investment and that
the entities they own may cease to exist at any time...
17. We believe the internet is a new human utility which has brought new abilities and
potentials to humankind. However, we are concerned and critical of that the
development of internet is unaccountably controlled and directed by private leadership
serving their own interests.
18. We are concerned that the growth and supply of food is increasingly controlled and
directed by private leadership serving their own interests.
19. We believe that all forms of governments should be open and transparent in all of their
operations. Secrecy or confidentiality in governance is only ever used as a means of
conspiring against a people and we therefore consider it wholly unethical. We call for
the public availability of all documentation of governance in all nations on the earth.
20. Just as we have aspired to governments which serve the people, we aspire to create
an economy which serves the people and the earth.
21. We believe that knowledge and information should never be owned by or reserved for
the few. Workers of the specialized knowledge-based professions -- doctors, nurses,
lawyers should serve to inform the public. And we can imagine a future in which all
citizen have the privilege of learning and knowing about the functioning and remedies
of the human body and all citizens have knowledge of and say in the systems of our
laws.
In our volatiles times, ripe for change, many premonitions of immanent new political
orders have emerged in the imagination. We must reject the fanciful, the conspiratorial
and the dystopian. We can only accept a new world order which is owned dreamed by
the 99%.
