CAN A NEW ECONOMIC SYSTEM BE BUILT WITHOUT POWER TO DEFEND ITSELF?
2015 Oct 1 from John Huckel
The members of any Economy can equitably create a viable currency on their own – without help from any International Banker. Please entertain the possibility of a new way for populations to organize themselves (including Freedom Force).
Mankind has suffered for 10,000 years under the Top-Down governmental structures of the Social Contract. Bigger is better for Governments – but worse for the Sovereign Individuals under their sway. The failure and corruption of a Representative Democracy is in direct proportion to the distance between the individuals affected by the power of the Group, and those deciding the Group’s laws. The Internet plus the innovative use of the geometric progression of small Groups of 8, effectively collapses that distance and heralds in a new age of Real-time Democracy.
This thesis is discussed at length at www.MLGov.org, and the particulars of the Platform necessary to bring it to bear on Society can be found at www.GoIDCSA.com.
You say, “[W]e must build an organization at the ground level and put people in motion. Furthermore, that motion must be in the right direction.” Bottom-Up organizing is the keynote of MultiLevel Governance – with the people themselves determining the right direction. It puts Power to the People within reach. For all our sakes, please educate yourself as to its potentials.
REPLY FROM GEG:
Hello John. Thanks for your response. I could not agree more with your enthusiasm for the bottom-up model, but there is more to it than that. Any organizational model must survive the malicious attacks of its competitors. Unfortunately, we are not in a system that will leave us alone to experiment with alternative systems. We will not be able to build a new bottom-up system without sufficient power to dismantle the present top-down system. If we were starting from scratch on a desert island, it might work, but the gargantuan power of the present state will attempt to squash any competitive movement – and will easily do so if that movement cannot defend itself in the political arena. That’s why the motto of Freedom Force is Impotentes defendere libertatum non possunt. (Those without power cannot defend freedom.)
Thanks for writing. Soon, I’ll be sending out the details for the Freedom Force Second Congress in December, and I hope you will be able to participate. You will be among thinkers and doers like yourself.
