Forum Post: Collapse of Capitalism leads to New free world??

Thankyou for restoring my faith in America and have started something that has the potential to spread and change the world as we know it.

please don't allow the same mistakes to be repeated everything has a start and an end - what has just happened is the disintegration of capitalism fuelled by Corporate Greed. To continue on the same path is likely to result in ending up back in the same situation down the track. Yes legislation can be put in place to stop it. But overtime corporate interests will again find their way in and legislation will be changed, watered down etc. Corporates know how effective having governmental influence is and will always now try and return to the same state which will result in the same problems again.

The first questions that should be asked is if you can rebuild from knew what is actually important and common to everyone. You will find that at its most basic the answers are likely to be Family Friends Food Home Love Clothing Freedom Then start seeing how the constitution could be amended to protect those things. e.g. Every Man, woman, child has the right to...... a Home.. .....live in a society free from violence. .....a supply of electricity or energy .....clothing for their family and themselves ..... free water .....clean air

It's a big idea but even considering removing money from the equation would quickly level the playing field between the 99% and 1%

Jacque Fresco's "Resource Based Economy" would be one solution to the current problems as it aims to provide solutions to all based on available resources. This approach would lead to the next advancement of society as it would be of benefit to all and at the expense of no one to have free energy and to seek out medical advances that actually cure people..

This does not mean a return to the start of the 20th century as advances in technology are for the betterment of society not for profit. As an example - what would stop America building an electromagnetic transport network to allow people to move around without being reliant on fossil fuels. Under Capitalism - Lack of money to fund it and destruction of Petroleum company profits. Under a resource based economy - nothing, provided the knowledge manpower, and materials are available.

Under this government in its current form wouldn't be required and their would be no use for lobbyists as it decisions are based on what is best for the community band the environment - not on how legislation could be influenced to increase profit.

Did you know that closed loop (no radioactive material at the end of the process) nuclear energy systems have been worked out but legislation was passed outlawing them so as not to impact on Oil Company profits and the 'economy' with everyone having free safe energy.

Many will already know about this but for those who don't take a look at www.thevenusproject.com Even their slogan is quite fitting here - "beyond politics, poverty and war".

Whatever happens stay strong and don't settle for less (on anything)

Thankyou
