Introduction
With
our newfound knowledge of the true nature of God and thus all of us, and also
the purpose of our existence, that is for the constant betterment of everything
and for everything to be closer and closer to light, life, and freedom, we need
a methodology to organize ourselves to reach and fulfill that purpose. We as
humanity, by memorized choice or not, have become a large group of
interconnected people, the human society. Many people have theorized on how to
organize this society, though many fail to make a truly ideal system. Why is
that? As they do not understand the most basic of all truths, which should be
the grounds of all other truths. In this essay, I will attempt to find out the
bare framework that our society should be in, and thus, this is our society.
Universal System
There
are people who may have opinions that there can not be a universal system that
governs the entire world. Perhaps some people are better off with liberty, and
others are better off with authority. Unfortunately for those people, they have
completely forgotten our true nature as God and the various expressions of God.
All ideologies or ideas must have an ultimate basis, one can say it as the
first premise, the base for all other ideas in that ideology. If that basis is
false, then the entire system crumbles down. The idea of a subjective system
implies that there is no universal basic truth, we must disagree though for the
following arguments.
There
exists a universal basic truth, that we have found out previously regardless.
As such, while perhaps the system of politics and economy may not be completely
equal in all places of all cultures, it must be based on some bound principles.
These principles must apply for the entirety of the human race and beyond, why
is this? As these principles will be based upon the universal basic truth. This
truth is something that applies to everyone and everything, no matter what,
similar to the physical laws. While the physical laws describe how the material
world works, we seek how the conscious world works, the nature of
consciousness, and this is the truth that should govern all of our society.
The Principles
It
is best if we start out with the original deduction, that is the world truly is
a single entity that is God. An entity that is nameless, formless, and
shapeless. On the other hand, we are all expressions and manifestations of that
same entity. As such, we can make a further deduction, that we are all equal,
for the lone fact that we are part of one entity. There is no part of a system
that is useless or “superior”. The only thing superior than the individual
expressions is the whole manifestation, that is the absolute identity and form
of God, pure energy. And thus the first principle is equality.
All
systems have a purpose, we must set the purpose of a political, social, and
economical system. While some have have theorized this purpose to be creating
happiness for all mankind, that is not the complete truth. What kind of
happiness is pursued here? Is it a mere physical happiness, created by the
material world? If it is merely physical happiness, then the system has not yet
been effective. We must seek a happiness that transcends the physical world,
and what is the basis of this idea? It is that we are conscious beings, and
consciousness transcends the physical world. How is that? It is as death does
not equate termination of consciousness, that idea is ludicrous, as even
eternity means nothing if we are unable to experience it.
If
it is not a material pleasure that we seek, what is it that we seek that is of
utmost importance? The answer is simple, there is one thing that transcends the
limited world, that is the truth, and our consciousness. However, how are we to
seek something that we have obtained? The answer is we seek to be the best form
of that consciousness. To achieve perfection, and of course, freedom. What kind
of freedom that is? The freedom of the material world and its limits, that is
for us to be able to live without being attached by any prejudice and stigma.
To have the perfect rational thought. As such, we establish our purpose, to find the truth and constantly better the entirety of our divine consciousness.
The Framework
We
have identified the principles that should be the basis of the organization of
the consciousness, that is Equality,
Truth, and Perfection. As such,
we now know what kind of society should the world be governed. That society
should be one that recognizes all beings and everything that exist as equal.
Equal here means of equal degree, down to the even the most insignificant of
dust and up to the grandest of stars. These are all equal, for all are equally
expressions of the divine consciousness and energy. There should be no
discrimination, nor are these views of superiority or inferiority.
The
society must have the truth and perfection as its main purpose. Nothing else
comes before these two goals. The truth must also govern the society, and
decisions are to be taken based on the truth. The society must also continously
seek perfection equally, that is perfection for all members with no
discrimination. No member shall be left out in the journey to perfection. It is
the responsibility of the society to ensure that all members reach perfection
and truth, the failure to do so is the fault of the entire society. That should
be the framework of our society.
Political Foundation
This
section here will discuss of the ideal political system of the society. I shall
discuss what should be the basis of politics in this society. The purpose of
this political system is to ensure that the society is able to reach its
purpose of truth and perfection in an organized and systematic manner. As
politics concern with the government of a society, then the methods of
government shall be addressed in this section. It is however, important to note
that the traditional form of government should not exist in the society for the
following reasons.
We
have established that one of the core principles of the society is equality of
all members, that is equal degree, status, and position within society. There
is no member that is less significant or more significant than the other. Each
member has equal role within society, and must participate equally within the
government of the society. As such, there can not be a traditional form of
government, where the People divides themselves between the ruled and the
ruler. People must rule themselves, and this is important in the quest for
perfection for the following reasons.
One
of the key aspects of perfection is true freedom, to have one’s autonomy over
society surrendered to a bunch of representatives is a degradation of one’s
freedom. Furthermore, the rules and policies of the government affects the
entire populace, and thus that issue definitely matters to and influences the
lives of each member. Such laws and policies are part of their lives, and each
member must have the right to be autonomous over these laws and policies, for
it is equivalent over autonomy over their lives. Surrendering such right to
people who are considered “worthy” is a major degradation of one’s freedom, and
is a step closer to death.
As
such, the most effective term for this system of government is a direct
democracy. In which all decisions that affects the society should be taken by
the People and none other. Decisions should be based on the truth, and not
personal, subjective feelings. As such, to reach the truth, decisions should be
taken through rational discussion of the People and logical examination of all
ideas present. Each member must contribute to any form of decision making that
is present. Laws and policies should be made to further progress the society
towards truth and perfection.
One
can not judge a society to be truely perfect as long as flaws exist. As a
result, each member has the obligation and right to continously better the
society with their contributions, materially or mentally. As such, each member
must have the right to criticize the society and its systems if it is found to
be faulty, flawed, or having strayed from its original purpose. As such, the
right of speech is an important aspect of society, all laws and policies are to
be deliberated and questioned until it is flawless. The continous process of
criticizing and reviewing will inevitably bring the society closer towards the
truth and perfection.
We
now reach a conclusion on the ideal political foundation, it is a society where
the peoples themselves govern how they are to live, and it is their right to
change, better, or criticize what they see fit within their society. The
society must strive in constant self questioning and self criticism, so all
flaws can be seen and thus be fixed. Furthermore, each member has an obligation
to contribute to the betterment of the society itself, to better the divine
consciousness as a whole. And lastly, each decision should be taken by logical
discussion, so all ideas are brought to light, and can be critically examined
in the most logical manner as so it is the most rational and logical decision
that is taken, unaffected by subjectivity and emotional bias.
Political Specialization
The
society must be organized into the specialties and talents of each member of
the society. As such, the political society must too be organized and
specialized, to maintain efficiency and prevent chaotic disorder. In this
section, such specialization shall be explained thoroughly. For the record, the
specialization of the political society will be based on the standard model of
government, though modified for our purpose. Before we get into the heart of
the matter, there are some topics that must be addressed first in the following
paragraph.
In
decision making, there are various forms of decisions that are being taken.
Such as a decision of law or decisions of justice. There could be a local
decision or a universal decision. It is thus appropriate to identify such
decisions. Based on the standard model of government, there are three main
powers of the government, the legislative powers, the executive powers, and the
judicial powers. The legislative powers create laws, the executive powers
create policies and programs similar to laws, and the judicial powers maintain
the upholding of the law. With this information, we can begin to identify the
decisions made in the political society.
The
first type of decision here is a set of rules and guidelines that serves as the
society’s basic principles on what to do. These rules and guidelines are
permanent in nature and binding to all members, of course until the case where
it is changed or refuted. These rules and guidelines can be described as the
law. The law can also be called a legal decision, it is to be built on
primarily on the essential objective truths. As such, the law transcends the
material world and applies regardless of the material world. This is because it
is built upon the truth that transcends everything else. As the objective
truths, if followed, then the law should improve the society consciousness wise
and guide it further to perfection. Every law should also be based upon a basic
transcendent truth.
The
second type of decision here concerns itself with the material world, in the
standard model of government, it would economic decisions. While the legal
decision has the purpose of improving the society from a mental standpoint, the
economic decision has the purpose of improving the society from a material
standpoint. As such, it is not permanent, unlike the legal decision which is
permanent until changed or otherwise. Nevertheless, the economic decision must
still be built upon what is true, and must follow the legal decision as well.
An important example is, there is a legal decision that states the human life
must be preserved, then any economic decision must strive to fulfill it, a
building code for example. The economic decision helps fulfill the needs of the
society materially, and thus also help in the quest for perfection.
The
decision of justice is a special type of decision made within society. If the
law is violated, then the violator must be judged for what they have done.
However, the decision that is whether the violator was truly guilty or not as
well what must be done to them or by them to repair the situation can not be
described as purely legal or economic. As it is a combination of both
decisions, a hybrid decision one might say, it is caused by the violation of a
legal decision, but results in an economic decision that is what must be done
for that specific member. We can call this decision, the rehabilitative
decision, and though is not as major as the two main decisions, is still an
important decision.
Since
we have been able to identify the main decisions created in the ideal political
system, we can now specialize the roles in politics according to the decisions
that we have identified. The two basic powers would be the legislative and the
economic powers. The legislative power within society has the power,
obligation, and right to create laws that are based upon the truth that ensure
the well being of all members of the society and guides the society towards
perfection from a conscious standpoint. The economic powers has the
responsibility of creating sensible economic decisions that would benefit the
material aspect of the society and thus guide the society towards perfection.
The third power would be the judiciary powers, which is responsible for
rehabilitating those who stray away from the path to perfection. As such, we
can now move on towards the specific details of such powers.
Legislative
Powers
The
legislative powers of the political society is the part of society that is
responsible for the creation of laws that is binding for all members no matter
what. The members of this legislative powers would involve every member of the
society that has the capacity to make rational decisions. This is because the
law affects all members of society and thus will affect the life of all
members. Each member has the right and obligation of self autonomy, as such
they too must have the right and control over the laws of the society. Every
member is responsible for the laws of the society, and they must participate in
all forms of law making process.
However,
people have differing ideas on what should be the law, furthermore there are
approximately 7 billion human beings on earth. As such, there must be a method
of organization to the legislative powers. While there is no specific grounding
from the truth, we must seek out the most efficient and effective method of
organizing the legislative power. That method is to divide the world
geographically into several hierarchy of areas. Say the society contains
separate nations, and each nation contains separate provinces, each province
contains separate districts until to the smallest unit of organization
possible, the individual member.
For
every law making process, each member is to rationalize their decision, and
create the best choice according to the truth. The individual will then gather
with others of their area, set by the society. Say it is a neighborhood, they
will gather and discuss what is the best decision to made. After they all have
reached the decision, they will choose one person to represent their thoughts
to discuss it with other representatives from other neighborhoods in say, their
district, this too is done by rational discussion and not voting. This goes on
until representatives of all nations gather in the Central Legislature to
officialize the law. This method ensures all members have say in the law making
process of their society. Once all representatives have agreed upon a decision
within the Central Legislature, then the law is made official.
The
law that is agreed upon by the Central Legislature shall not be taken in as the
absolute law and absolute truth. As such, all members of the society that has
the capacity to make rational decisions has the right to scrutinize and
criticize any laws that they deem to be unfit. However, if one wishes to change
a law as they see it as unfit, then they can appeal to their fellow people, and
to make it fair, they will do it the same way law making is performed, from the
smallest divisions of society, until the Central Legislature. If the person
succeeds in convincing the Central Legislature, then an examination would be
performed on the law, and of course, all other members must also be involved,
by answering to the challenges of the person. That is how the law can be
changed.
Being
a representative does not limit oneself from working in another professional
sector. As the duty of law is the duty of all members, and being a
representative simply means that one has the duty to represent their area’s
decision. As such, it is no excuse to not work in another specialized economic
sector. Even if one finds themself to be in the Central Legislature, it is
impossible that the Legislature is always in session. There must be times where
the representative is free of their duty of law making, and able to perform
other duties for society. As such, being a regional representative is not a
primary profession, it is rather a mark of excellence as it means your fellow
people trust you to represent their choices, and they see you as a competent
person.
Judicial Powers
The
judicial powers of the political society is responsible for the surveillance of
the law, that is to ensure that the law is obeyed and upheld, and to create
important decisions in the event of a violation. Unlike the legislative powers,
the judicial powers are incredibly specialized as upholding the law can
manifest in various forms, unlike the duty of law making which manifests in a
single strict manner. Regardless, all members of the society are involved
within the upholding of the law, as the law affects all members and by the
right of autonomy, they have an obligation to ensure the upholding of the law
so they and their fellow people do not fall astray.
Regardless
of everyone being involved in the judicial powers, their involvement within the
judicial powers is different for each individual. As each member is unique in
of themselves, one can not expect them to do the same task as all other
members. This is where the specialization of the judicial powers come in to
play. While all members are involved, it is how they are involved that matters.
It is to be understood that all members play equal role in the upholding and
observance of the law. There is no role that is superior to the other, only
which role is more active than the other role. As such, we must seek to
understand the most efficient form of specialization for the judicial powers.
Judicial Specialization
The
judicial powers can be specialized into two main forces, the passive force and
the active force. The active force has the duty to actively uphold the law and
maintain the law, to ensure that all members of society follows the law and is
not led astray. The active force is also responsible for combative measures,
that is making decisions upon violations of the law, and how to lead astray
members back into the right path of truth and perfection. On the other hand,
the passive force are those who do not devote their lives in complete servitude
to the law, the common people. They assist the active force by reporting any
violations, or surrendering themselves if they violated the law towards the
active force. They may also assist the active force through other methods.
The
active force is further specialized into the Combative Force and the Reparative
Force. The combative force is otherwise known as the police force in the
standard model of the State, and the reparative force is known as the court of
law. Both forces devotes themselves to ensure that the society and all its
members stay on the right path of truth and perfection, and if needed, to guide
those who went astray to walk back to the right path. As a result of this
devotion, the members of the active force are those who are incredibly competent
and truly do have a desire of participating in the active judicial powers.
However, both forces are still incredibly complex and requires further
description that is sufficiently long enough that it requires their own section
to describe it fully. As such, we shall move on to the description of the
combative force and the reparative force.
Combative Force
The
combative force, otherwise known as the police, is the section of the active
force of the judicial powers responsible for the prevention of the violation of
the law. They are also responsible to protect the freedom of the members of
society. The law has a purpose to ensure that not only all members are on the
path of truth and perfection, it also ensures that each member has their
freedom protected. However, the combative force still answers to the law and
the people, and if the people feels that the police has in actuality infringed
upon their freedoms, they have a right to protest and retaliate. The police
also has a secondary duty of assisting members of society in problems in
regarding to the law, as such the police is specialized as well.
As
the police answers to the people and the law, they are divided between these
two authorities, that is the Legal Affairs and the Civil Affairs. The legal affairs
are responsible for the upholding of the law and prevention of violation of the
law. The manifestation of that duty is quite various. Most notably, the legal
affairs has the duty to watch over the society in order to ensure that the
members of the society do not fall astray. However, they too have the duty of
protecting the freedom of members of the society, most important being the
freedom and right of life. As such, the legal affairs must cooperate to ensure
that the prevention of the violation of the law does not infringe on the heart
of the law itself, the freedom and perfection of society. Finally, the legal
affairs has the duty to secure violators, so they do not cause anymore
violations, and to investigate violations so that a false accusation is
avoided.
The
civil affairs is the branch of police responsible for listening to the desires
and complaints of the people, notably problems with the law. If members of
society need advice on legal situations, they can ask help from the civil
affairs, which shall provide assistance towards the troubled individual. If
someone who is accused of a violation feels that it is a false accusation, they
have the right to report to the civil affairs, and thus the civil affairs will
assist them in the court of law. This assistance manifests in the form of the
defense attorney. The attorney has the right of investigation, and has the duty
of examining the case from another perspective. Also, if a member feels that
the legal affairs abused their power, then it is the duty of the civil affairs
to investigate the legal affairs and carry the issue to the court of law.
Regardless
of position, any member of the police force also has an obligation to assist
members of the society in any other issue if they are asked help for. This is
especially true in the case of an emergency, any member of the police force is
tasked with protecting the members of the society and eliminate all threats
towards the freedom of the society. However, assistance might be given even in
non emergency situations. Say, a cat owner requests a patrolling officer to
retrieve her cat from a tree, the officer is then to help the poor cat down
from the tree. Surveillance is also the duty of all police force members, as
such both the legal affairs and the civil affairs can have patrolmen. These
patrolmen are to be the first responders to any situation in the event that
police assistance are to be required. As such, it is possible for the civil
affairs patrol to apprehend a criminal before they are taken by the legal
affairs. Likewise, a legal affairs patrol may assist a member of society with
legal issues before handing it to the civil affairs.
Reparative Force
The
reparative force, otherwise known as the court of law, is responsible for the
reparation and rehabilitation of any violations of the law. Their primary duty
is to hold trials in order to determine whether an accused person has violated
the law or not. Of course, it is possible for the defendant to confess to the
crime before the trial started, regardless of that event, a trial with a
defense is still compulsory, as until all perspectives are exposed and
explored, we can not be sure of what is true. In the event that the defendant
is found guilty, the court will send the defendant to rehabilitation, so they
can fix their mistakes, and be in the right path again. As such the reparative
force is divided into two parts, the Ruling and the Rehabilitation.
The
ruling part of the court is the trial of law. In the case of a violation of
law, the accused will be put to trial in the local court, regardless of the
degree of their crime. The trial consists of the judge, the jury, the
prosecution, and the defense. The jury is a selection of neutral members of
society, and they have a duty to judge
the case based on their sense of justice. The judge oversees the trial and
judges the case based on the law. The prosecution comes from the court itself,
and examines the case from the perspective of the law. While the defense comes
from the civil affairs of the police force and examines the case from the
perspective of the defendant, that they are innocent.
A
trial is in essence, an argument between the defense and the prosecution,
however both sides must remember, that they fight for the truth, and not their
personal verdicts. While they seemingly argue in competition, they truly are
cooperating to find the truth. Of course, in the event that it is found the
evidence is insufficient, the trial can be suspended and continued until
sufficient evidence is gathered to find out the truth. Any witness of the crime
will also be summoned to the trial, and their testimony can be examined by the
defense. In this case, if the witness is found to be lying, they will later be
apprehended without trial, unless they have reason to lie. And if the witnesses
prove to be insufficient, this too will continue the trial until only decisive
testimony and evidence remains.
Once
the time for a verdict arrives, the jury will gather with the judge to discuss
their judgement. However, it is possible for there to be a faulty verdict, that
is a verdict that either the jury or the defendant disagrees with. There are
two possible reasons for a faulty verdict, that is the law is faulty, or the
evidence and testimony is faulty. In that case, the trial can continue with an
examination of said law, which may result in the changing of that law or no
changes at all. In the case that the law is changed, the verdict will be
automatically not guilty, and if the law is held, the verdict will be guilty.
The other option is to appeal the verdict.
The
courts are arranged similarly to the legislature, the first trial is held on
the local court, which takes trials for its own locality. However, upon an
appeal, the trial will be held on a higher court, which addresses a larger
area, until the Supreme Court is reached. Where a final decision is to be taken
in the case of a continued appeal. The supreme court is where all trials are
finally decided if an appeal was made, and no more appeals once a verdict is
declared. As a result, whatever verdict is declared on the Supreme Court, it
has to be infallible, no matter what. Once a guilty verdict is delivered and
the defendant makes no appeals, or any party for that matter, the case
undergoes the rehabilitative section of the reparative force.
As
in the standard model of the State, there are consequences for violations of
the law. However, unlike the standard model, the consequences are not in the
form of punishments. The reason for this is people who are led astray are
supposed to be led back to the right path, and not beaten up and abandoned on
that false path. Of course, some people can make it back to the right path,
however who are we to assume that every member is capable of turning to the
light by their own? Especially after having their freedoms infringed upon and
their morale shattered by their own people. The point is, punishing someone for
wrongdoing causes more damage than the wrongdoing itself, let alone removing
the life of one, even imprisonment is damaging enough, if one’s mentality is
not strong enough.
The
correct solution is to help the person correct themselves, and of course repair
any damages caused by the crime, and prevent the person from straying into the
dark even further. If the crime is harmful for others, then prevent further
harm from being inflicted upon the society. How is this to be done though? It
is done by creating a rehabilitation center where convicts stay so they can
reflect on what they have done, and also so they can repair the damages of what
they have done. It is also a known fact that one’s behavior is motivated by
their psychology, as such convicts will also be treated psychologically, and so
that all of their problems are solved. There is no one person that would commit
crime if they do not have any problems with themselves. As such, we must seek
to help solve their problems, and so they can rejoin society and go on the
right path towards truth and perfection.
Unlike
prisons, convicts still have most of their freedoms intact, only that they are
separated from their families and they can not leave the area without any
permission. Furthermore, their actions would be heavily monitored by the police
force, specifically the legal affairs division. Regardless, they are still able
to participate in any decision making process if they are mentally sound, or if
their problems are not too severe, though they are still being monitored by the
police. Of course, family can visit them, and if the family disowns the
convict, the reparative forces will attempt a reconciliation for the convict
and their family, or perhaps the convict and their victim, or the victim’s
family if it caused the loss of life for the victim. Once the convict’s
problems are all solved, and all relations have been restored, they can go back
into society and do what they wish to do. Of course, different crimes warrant
different times of rehabilitation, simpler crimes committed by more vulnerable
people, such as children or old people receive more care and usually stay there
for a short period of time. Regardless, convicts will stay until their
rehabilitation is completed.
Economic Powers
The
economic powers are the sector of society responsible for the management and
fulfillment of the material needs of the society. They are also responsible to
guide the material aspect of society towards perfection as well, which includes
preserving the environment and preventing unnecessary death of any form of
life. The economic powers, involves the most participation from the entire
society, after all, it is the one that manages the economy of the society, that
is how the society’s needs are fulfilled in the material perspective. It
requires more practical action from each member of the society, that is action
that manifests materially, and not only in theory or the mind.
Yet
again, all members of the society are involved within the economic powers as
well, with perhaps the exception of those in servitude of the law, the active
force of the judicial powers. However, the way the members of society are
involved are strikingly different from the two other powers. As there is no
division between members who are passive forces or active forces, neither are
there need for representatives. All members have the obligation to use their
talents and specialties to contribute to the society’s material aspect in the
form of labor. While there are different types of labor, that is to be
discussed further in the economy section.
Of
course, for the economy to be efficient and effective, there requires to be a
form of management and organization within the society’s economy. This
management and organization manifests itself in the form of the Economic
Departments. As we know, the economy has various sectors in order to make sure
that the material needs of the society is fulfilled efficiently and
effectively. As such, each department has the duty of overseeing all economic
activity of the sector the department is created for. For example, the
agriculture department would thus oversee and manage the economic activity in
relation to agriculture, that is the crop fields, the tea gardens, vegetable
plantations, and so on.
The
departments are arranged similarly towards the legislature, that is they are
held in a hierarchical manner according to the regional division. Say, farm
syndicates or individual farmers of a certain area would gather to discuss
their work, i.e. how to produce crops efficiently and so on. They also make
decisions to implement their thoughts, and to actually be more efficient in
crop production. They would then elect a competent member to join the regional
department. As such, all departments are filled with people who are involved
within the certain economic sector.
The
regional department would have certain duties that is special to the members of
that department. The first duty is to of course, oversee all economic producers
within their region of control, that is to ensure all laborers working in that
sector are working efficiently, of course preferably in the form of syndicates.
If the syndicates are not working efficiently enough, they may be given advice
by the department itself, or perhaps intervened by the department, more on that
in the economic section. They do this by collecting reports from each syndicate
to ensure that all action is efficient and effective.
The
second duty of the regional department is to regulate the membership of the
workers of that specific department within their region of control. Of course,
while professional education that prepares the individual for the professional
practice itself is done in the university level, and a degree certifying their
passing of the education, another examination to prove that they are indeed
worthy of professional work is needed. This examination would be held by the
department, and is usually a practical examination with one of the syndicates.
If they pass, and most likely should, they would then be officially certified
to do work in that sector, and can start work by joining a syndicate or doing
it themselves individually.
The
third duty of the regional department is to create plans to further progress
the production within that specific sector of economy which manifests in
perhaps revision of law, innovative scientific methods to increase the
efficiency of production, basically progress. This is done by gathering the
representatives of the syndicates within that department and discuss the best course
of action based on their ideas. Once a decision is taken, the next action
depends on the area of influence of that decision. If it only affects the
regional area, then the decision will be committed. If it affects a wider area,
then the opinion will be taken onto the next department until sufficient.
The
highest level of the Economic Department, is the Central Economic Department.
The central department has some other special duties related to them other than
simply managing the economy of the entire society. While the primary difference
is only that they control a wider area and thus collects the reports of each
regional department, they also have the duty of to suggest new laws regarding
their field of work towards the legislature if it is needed. Any change in
methodology that is global in influence and is unrelated to the law must be
approved by the central departments as well. Regardless, the central department
is the highest of each sector, but there is still another special force that
encompasses all of the departments, known as the Board of Ministry.
The
Board of Ministry is a method to ensure that one sector and the other
cooperates fully to ensure a smooth running economy. As we know, the economy
has multiple sectors and each requires all other sectors to work. A mining
syndicate needs industrial machines from the industry syndicate. It also needs the
transportation syndicate to transport the goods. And then there is the food
syndicates which provide food for the laborers of the mining syndicate. As
such, a way to make sure all sectors
cooperate efficiently is needed, and this manifests in the ministers.
Ministers
are representatives of each department that gather and discuss the general
progress of economy as it is. They receive reports from their respective
departments and in general meetings, discuss it with other ministers to form an
objective and wise judgement on the economy. By the end of each meeting, the
ministers may create a decision to progress the economy, even if the decision
is to continue as usual, it is still a decision regardless. And the ministers
shall create a decision that most benefits the economy of the society, thus
increasing prosperity for all. The ministry is also arranged in a regional to
central hierarchy manner, that is there are also regional boards within the
region, tied with the economic departments.
Economical Foundations
Regardless
of how the economy was described within the economic powers section, it only
served to explain how the economy was politically managed. This means only the
management of the economy has been described, that is how the economy is
governed and organized to fulfill the purpose of economy efficiently and
effectively in accordance to the law. However, economics itself is more than just
management of resources, as the economy is the greatest contribution any
individual would make towards the society. As such, it is required to create a
section specific for the ideal economics of the society.
While
one may wish to discuss the existing systems of economy in this world, such
will not be discussed here. As our purpose here is to discover the true
economic system, and not find faults within the other economic systems. The
first principle we must establish is what is the purpose of an economy? In
relation to the three core principles, it is simple. The economic system must
help the society move towards perfection in its material aspect. The material
aspect includes everything that manifests materially within the society, from
the human being to the mountains of high. Perfection in this sense means the
preservation of the natural environment, as well as the quality of the human
body and their surroundings.
Of
course, in relation to the principle of equality, the economic system must
strive for perfection in the material aspect equally, in the case for human
beings, that is ensure their prosperity equally. As a result, the survival and
welfare of every individual must be the ultimate priority of the economy, and
not the collection of one’s personal profits. While capitalists may call this
economy unfree, it is they who have infringed the freedom of those who have no
power, and put the blame unto them. And since there is no need for a common
unit of exchange, as everything is distributed fairly, there is no form of
money. This type of economy is what is known as socialist economy.
Unlike
in capitalist systems, the most important factor of the economy is not capital
or profit motive or any of those materialistic aspects, it is the labor force
of the society. It is important that we define the labor force of society.
Labor is by definition the work done by the human individual to create products
from existing resources that seek to fulfill their needs or desires. The
products may involve material products, services, or even information. The
labor force of course, consists all members of the society, unless they are too
young to work or too old. However, if a scientific breakthrough is done, then
senility may not hinder people from continuing to commit to their labor. On the
other hand, young children require the education and preparation so they are
truly ready to face the future situation, as a result they can not be employed
within official labor, though it should not limit them from making
contributions to the society.
As
such, we can conclude how the economic system should be. The ultimate goal of
the economic society is to bring perfection towards society in the material
aspect, which includes the preservation of the environment aside from humanity,
and the fulfillment of needs of all members of society. Those needs are of
course, fulfilled by human labor, in which resources of nature are turned into
useable products for humanity. The goods and services are then to be
distributed fairly and justly to all human beings according to their needs.
Every human being must of course contribute their fair share of labor towards
society, and they will have access to their fair share of goods and services.
However, if they have a severe problem that inhibits them from committing
labor, their needs would still be fulfilled regardless, and the society will
help solve their problems until the individual can be independent again and
contribute to labor.
Cooperative Labor
The
human being is a social creature, in which they need others to survive and to
function properly, this is logical as indeed all human beings are merely
reiterations and magnifications of specific parts of the same entity of God. As
a result, even in labor humans need to cooperate with others with similar
talent so they can work efficiently. This problem is addressed by the law, and
in economic production, people have the right of organization to be more
efficient in production, and so production can actually happen. The
organization that is formed would be legally recognized and registered under
the overseeing department, such organization shall be called the Syndicate.
A
syndicate is similar to a company in capitalist systems, though the closest
equivalent they have to a capitalist entity is the cooperative, as both are
worker managed and have less hierarchy than the regular for profit company.
However, unlike any capitalist entity, the syndicate’s purpose is never for
self gain. The purpose of every syndicate is simple, to produce goods and
services that are beneficial for the society, which in the end includes the
workers of the syndicate itself. The difference that makes one syndicate
different from the other is what kind of goods and services are produced, and
even for similar products, assuredly there is something that makes each
syndicate unique.
A
syndicate is generally composed of workers that has a similar idea and
specialty in the creation of goods and services for the benefit of the society.
Similar to a cooperative, the syndicate contains no hierarchy, as a result all
workers there, regardless of their role have equal position and degree there.
The workers of the syndicate are responsible for managing their own production,
and of course to coordinate with other syndicates to help fulfill the necessary
needs for production. Of course, other than the obvious duty of producing goods
and services, all syndicates have some other special features and
responsibilities.
As
stated in the previous section that is the economic powers, the economic departments
are responsible for overseeing the syndicates that works under the department.
As such, each syndicate has the responsibility to elect one of their workers to
be a member of the department. Regardless, that member is still a worker and
still has the obligation to work in the syndicate. The syndicate representative
has the responsibility of representing their syndicate by submitting reports of
the syndicate, and present the opinions of the syndicate. Furthermore, a new
syndicate member can join right from the registration in the department. As
such, if the individual wishes to join a certain syndicate, then their
examination will be held in that syndicate, as such the syndicate members too
know that the applicant is worthy in agreement with the department.
In
one specific sector of economy, all of the syndicates there are all unique in
of themselves. Perhaps one syndicate produces specifically tomatoes, while the
other syndicate produces rice grains, and another syndicate again produces
various vegetables. However, it is not unlikely that there are two syndicates
that produce the same product. What will happen then? Will there be fierce
competition? No, competition perhaps, but it is different from capitalist
competition. While capitalist competition is harmful in of itself, as the end
goal has nothing to do with prosperity, syndicate competition is actually
beneficial for both syndicates regardless, as “losing” the competition does not
result in bankruptcy, but merely less efficient usage of resources.
The
benefit of the syndicate competition is that it motivates each syndicate to be
better, and also cooperate by sharing ideas to increase each other’s productive
efficiency. As such, perhaps one syndicate has a certain quality while the
other has another quality, they can cooperate and then both syndicates has both
qualities and are more efficient than ever. Sometimes, there wouldn’t even be
competition, as if the population is numerous, than there may be a need for
more than one syndicate for that region alone. Furthermore, every human is
unique, as such two syndicates with the same product, but variants of it can
still be efficient. As the uniqueness of the human being is effectively
limitless that there would be demand for both syndicate products. Even if a
syndicate fails to distribute its products as no demand appears, the department
and fellow syndicates are always there to help, so there is nothing to lose
from this apparent “competition”.
Distribution of Resources
Every
member has the right of gaining the products of economy, the fruit of labor. In
order to do so, there is no need for exchange, the only thing needed is
contribution of one’s labor towards society. Though even if one did not
participate in labor for a multitude of reasons, their needs are still needed
to be sustained, and regardless of the reason for the absence of their labor,
they still have a right over the fruits of labor. The only consequence being
the inefficient usage of resources and the stagnation of that individual,
though it is hoped that proper education would eliminate to nigh zero of that
possibility.
Many
socialist systems advocate the system of rationing, or essentially dividing the
resources of equal amount. However, every human being is unique, as a result
each person has different needs, some may need more than the other, and some
products may be needed by particular groups of people, but not needed by other
groups of people. As such, the goods and services are to be held at a market
style fashion, though it’s more of a distribution center, something like a
supermarket. Members of society can go to the store and take the goods as they
need. Some goods that require more care and costs more resources may need to be
ordered beforehand, but in the end, everyone has the right to obtain the goods
and services that they wish. The only responsibility they have being to
contribute their own labor.
What
if the demand exceeds the supply? That is a possibility to be considered by all
syndicates and all members of the society. As such, calculated decisions with
precise risks must be made by syndicates in their planning of production. It is
well for the supply to more or less match the demand, though it does not spell
the end the of the world if an analysis finds that the demand has exceeded the
supply. There are two options that can be taken, to increase the efficiency of
production by any means, or a much more reliable action is to gain it from the
surplus product of other syndicates. The same is done if the supply exceeds the
demand, but whatever is done, any syndicate must make sure that no resource is
gone to waste, so the options are recycling it, or send it to other parts of
the society that may need those resources.
Labor Specialization
Every
human being is unique and has their own specialties, this matches up with the
varying needs of human beings in the economic society. As a result, the economy
as well is specialized into various sectors. However, this section only wishes
to address the three most important divisions of economy, based on the purpose
of the labor being done. Before that, labor can be divided into two other ways,
that is based on the product of their labor and the resource of their labor.
Based on the product, labor can be differentiated into goods and services,
simply put, there are labor that produces material goods, while there are labor
that provides services to the society, something like the servants of the law.
Based on the resource, it can be material, or intellectual. Farming would be
considered material labor, while education is intellectual labor. All three
divisions of labor contain all those.
The
three divisions of labor are Sustainment Labor, Progressive Labor, and
Aesthetic Labor. Each division has a different purpose in regards to how to
better the society as a whole. Regardless, each division is equal by position,
and no division is superior or inferior to the other. As the names suggest,
sustainment labor concerns itself with the sustainment of society, progressive
labor concerns itself with the progress of the society such as innovation and
education, while aesthetic labor concerns itself with the mental wellbeing of
the human society. All of the above labor sectors will be described further
into the essay. Regardless, all divisions, no matter how insignificant they
seem, all cooperate to further the society in their own ways.
The
sustainment labor, as stated, are all labor activities that has the purpose of
sustaining the current operation of the society as it is. This means that their
actions are based on the present knowledge, methodology, and regulations of
labor. Regulations here being the law set by the legislature. As such, the
sustainment labor is to follow the current law until change of law, even if a
protest or disagreement from within the sustainment labor is submitted, the old
regulations will still be followed until changed. By sustaining the society, it
means fulfilling the needs of society that needs to be constantly fulfilled so
that members of the society can continue operate and function properly as a
member of economy. It also includes the sustainment of the environment, and preventing
any unnecessary damages to the environment.
The
sustainment labor usually involves the most people, or at least more than those
within the progressive labor and aesthetic labor. As syndicates within this
division is responsible for making sure that every one on the planet can eat,
drink, and have basic needs fulfilled. Their work is also the most prominent,
as there is always demand for their products and thus production within this
division must be extremely efficient. While it seems that it is mostly food
products, or biological sustenance products, it also sustains other things. For
example, electricity is a form of sustaining product, along with fuel.
Residential products, such as houses or apartments are also sustaining
products. In essence, this division sustains any material needs needed to keep
the society from grinding to a screeching halt.
Progressive
labor is the division of labor responsible for creating new innovations for the
society. Innovations here are unrelated to the law, as the law is the truth,
and is the responsibility of the entire society. Innovation here refers to new
knowledge regarding the mechanics of our material world, i.e. scientific
advancement. While this division does not seem as significant as the sustaining
labor, we must remember that to fully maximize the efficiency of production,
updates to current knowledge of the mechanics of this world is needed. As such,
most of the time, scientific advancements produced here are usually to increase
the efficiency of the sustainment labor. The jobs related to this division is
straightforward, that is scientists and economists and so on. However,
education is technically also progressive labor, as it prepares children so
they in the future can create innovation as well. Though education is special
as it is both progressive and sustaining.
Aesthetic
labor may be the most unique form of labor, as it is stated that it concerns
itself with the mental wellbeing of the society. What it means is that the
products of this labor are usually related to art, appreciation of beauty, and
of course, entertainment. The reasoning for the existence of this labor is
because the human consciousness is much more than simply looking for the truth
or being moral and so on. As in fact, happiness is also needed for a person to
continue function properly. Art is of course something that contains deep
meaning for humanity, and directs people to appreciate the beauty of this
world, to slow down and to let go. Entertainment on the other hand, is a
broader expression of art in this world. Things such as games and TV shows,
they all have a certain degree of beauty within, that is to be appreciated. This
is the reasoning behind the aesthetic labor, and I believe I do not need to
give examples on what kind of jobs are related to this division.
Individual and Society
While
the society may seem very collective based, it is not a purely collectivist
sytem. As a collectivist system does not recognize nor does it appreciate the
individual. The society on the other hand, gives support and respect for every
individual without discrimination. Of course, the individual is the building
block of society, while it is true that all exists as a collective, we must not
forget that every individual matters, which is why the participation of every
individual is necessary. They are not mere cogs in a machine that is
expendable, they are valuable members of society that without anyone of them,
society would be much different. Of course, this is only possible if the
individual has the desire to be more than what they simply are. As such, this
section will detail the relationship between the individual and the society.
The
recognition and appreciation of the individual is highly esteemed in the
society. It is for that reason, that the rights and freedom of every individual
is held sacrosanct. From the early age, individuals are required to join in
compulsory formal education, also known as school. School lasts for roughly
twelve years of one’s life, and prepares the individual with the various skills
needed for their future. The most important thing for the individual to have is
a clear rational mind, so they can think from themselves, as we highly esteem
self autonomy and independence. Regardless, for an individual to be truly
successful, they must cooperate with other individuals to fulfill their
ultimate goals.
Recognizing
the individual does not equate abandoning the society, as no matter what, one
human can not survive alone, as a result, if they wish for their needs to be
fulfilled, then they too must help fulfill the needs of others. As such, selfishness
and egoism is truly damning to the self, and that is the trait that we wish to
avoid within the individual. As a result, individuals have an obligation to
contribute to society, to achieve excellence in their lives. Of course, every
individual has their own talents and potential, one must not feel inferior when
they see others that is seemingly better. After all, each individual are to
contribute to the society in their own way, and to achieve their own
excellence, as the goal is not to be perfect among others, but to be perfect
for yourself. That is the individual must strive for their own perfection by
their own standards, and that is where true pride can satisfaction can be
gained.
As
stated, the individual is highly esteemed by the society, as a result, every
member of the society obtains rights and freedoms any human should have.
Foremost, they have the right of life, and that is to be maintained and
recognized by every other member of society. They have the right of thought and
speech, whatever idea and thought they have, ought to be heard by the society.
Their right of knowledge and information, every individual has the right
towards education and free flow of information. The point is, the individual is
to be supported by all of society, if they are led astray, then we shall lead
them back towards the right path. If they are sick, then they shall be healed.
If they are homeless, they shall be given residence. If they are despaired,
they shall be given hope. In the end, the individual shall give according to
their ability, and receive according to their needs.
Conclusion
The
conclusion is that we have finally discussed the basic frameworks of a true
society. A society that is guided towards the truth and perfection. I can
discuss more aspects, such as education and so on, however, this essay is not
the place for details. This essay serves to explore what basic guidelines
should the ideal society be based on. And I believe that purpose has been
accomplished, and while we have not discussed morality, that is something for
another day. The purpose of this society is to illustrate the management of the
society according to the truth, again it is more of the politics of the
society. After all, system of governance is the first thing needed in a
society, so order and organization can be seen, as such everything runs as
smooth and efficient as ever. Regardless, I believe that is all I have to say,
have a nice day and see you another day.
