UBUNTU is an ancient African social structure still practiced by many communities in Africa. It provides a simple foundation to build a new society after the collapse of the money system. The UBUNTU movement was launched in November 2010 but took 6 years to develop. IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE. Please read and THINK for yourself. Stop sitting on the fence and act now. Humanity cannot continue to survive and evolve consciously, with any kind of money system - only the complete removal of money will liberate humanity and restore the natural order of things. BUT - how do we implement it? It is actually a lot easier than most of us realise - but first we have to lose all fear, and doubt, and be prepared to accept a complete paradigm shift in every aspect of our lives and our society.
I urge you to read the manifesto below and realise that you all have the answers to how the new system will work. It took me more than 6 years to figure out most of the basics - but not everything. Just enough to realise that the rest will fall into place once communities have adopted this principle and work together as a unified community for the benefit of all.
In the next few weeks, I will be outlining how the various sectors will function, from farming, housings, energy, law, education, science, arts, communication, development, engineering and more.
But you can begin to figure out all this stuff for yourself - I have done this with hundres of people already - you all have the answers inside you - just ask yourself the questions - how will Farming work... how will education work... etc.
But keep reminding yourself of the following crucial fundamentals that often cause people to get confused and stuck. There is NO MONEY, NO BARTER, NO TRADE, nothing has more value than anything else and everyone's contribution is seen as equally valuable by the community. An UBUNTY style Kgotla OR Council of elders make decisions for the community on a daily basis - on crucial issues for the immediate benefit of the entire community. No invisible town councils and government that ignores its people. I have faith in everyone's deeper conscious ability to find the same answers I have found. I have already seen this on many occasions. So - please read the Manifesto below and share it AND explain it to others. Next I will load the NEW FREEDOM CHARTER - it is a interim document as we move through the process, the charter will have to adapt to the needs of the people, by the people - this time for real - by the people. Love and universal light to you all.
A BLUEPRINT FOR A NEW SOCIAL STRUCTURE

From the manifesto:
"Every socio-political system we have ever had as the human race has failed us dramatically"
So dramatically have the social systems of humanity failed us that we have such terrible things as the internet that allow us to bemoan our abject failure as a species.
Think about it. Has not humanity proceeded from a wretched existence in caves and huts to a glittering technological society that is the stuff of dreams?
Social systems come and go, but their utility is evident. Is the current social order problematic? Hell yes. But humans have thrived. We need to believe that we will continue to thrive, that the current social tensions are just another iteration of the struggles we have conquered to get this far.
It is easy to believe that our species is at a crossroads. If we come to believe that we will fail, then we will. If we believe that we will triumph, it will come to pass. We can ascend or not. We will spawn the future of our belief.
Insane. People have different skills, and NEED to trade.
