Transitional Demands for the Global Pandepression

  • Free public education at every level for every human being in the world.
  • Guaranteed basic and preventative health care for every living person
  • Guaranteed safe and sanitary housing for all people.
  • Guaranteed sufficient healthy nutrition for all human beings.
  • Guaranteed minimum income for every adult person in the world.

At the current level of productive and industrial capacity, cultural and technological development and global awareness, each of these demands is realizable within 10 years.

If we turned our individual, local, rational and regional, national and global attention toward these ends, we have every thing that we need so see them come to fruition. The possibility of this is only inhibited by the voracious desire for power and control exercised by a tiny minority of humanity, not one percent but .01 percent.

Their power is upheld by an increasingly unstable and heavily rigged simulated market divorced from real production of goods and services and the natural exchange of the products of human labor.

Our real creative and productive capacity is restricted by the imposition of a fiction. The fiction depicts a competitive ‘meritocratic’ market that has not existed in fact for nearly a century.

To achieve these ends and by their achievement we put end to war, wasteful acquisitiveness and petty individualism. We open the door to a safe, and healthy world in which the real capacity of human intellect, creativity, inquiry and labor is achievable. We can free ourselves collectively from self imposed poverty.

It is a choice that we can make now. It is a demand that we must make. It is either this or decent into barbarism.
