I would make it mandatory for each home to be self sufficient energy wise - to have solar power/wind power - or any other innovations to
produce its own electricity; and to have a tank or water supply/catchment device - or dam; and whereever possible i would encourage every parcel of
land to (or even make it mandatory) have a vegetable garden or to produce at least some food itself - unless perhaps all the occupants of the land
were making other important contributions to society - like scientists or doctors - and didnt have time to look after a garden. But most people even
if busy can manage at least a small garden i think
.
And how will this be funding? Again these are great sound bites but delivering will take years so what do you do in the mean time? Have you every
managed a small garden? You are looking at hours per week to grow enough food to feed a family. And then you add care of animals. With the current
population of over 6 billion people, you are looking at huge numbers staving.
I would ensure that each local district had its own food and water supply and extra energy supply. I would immediately order scientists to
figure out ways to convert all cars to green energy first; and next figure out how to get humans off the ground and into airborn vehicles so we can
stop building roads everywhere. Tesla had some ideas years ago that have just gone nowhere.
Some districts will be able to deliver its own food and water. But some districts will never be able to provide enough food, water and energy for
their populations. What do they do? And getting cars converted to green energy will cost and take time.
I would put a worldwide limit of one child per person or two children per couple to bring the world population to some sort of stability. I
would provide incentives for people who choose not to have children until the world population stablises at a more manageable level for the
environment/resources. There would be education/encouragement for whoever didnt want kids to not have them. (until the population shrunk a bit). I
would ensure every woman and man had access to contraception and was educated about it.
And will that be enough. Some would say there are too many people on this planet already. Will you take the hard decision if we need to depopulate?
And in some parts of the world, children still do not survive many years and in some cultures, children and grand children support their family so you
would look to destroy their culture?
And what is a more manageable level?
I would make education the key, and put a vegetable garden in each school with chickens for eggs; and solar power/wind etc and encourage
children to learn how to grow food and cook and understand about energy etc. And send them on fieldtrips to nature reserves to learn about the
environment - and also maybe learn indigenous ways of living off the land/interracting with the environment/animals in a respectful way. I would
encourage all kids to pursue what their passion was but to pursue it as a way of contributing to society/animals/nature - rather than for selfish
reasons of personal gain. In other words, to work because they want to work, not becuz they have to.
And what about those who do not have a passion? Re-education?
I would immediately shut down all the brothels and child abuse areas in places like thailand etc and free the children and put them in govt run
houses or adopted out by any volunteers who want kids or want to help children recover etc. I would encourage people to adopt children rather than to
have their own until the population stabilises - wherever possible.
Have you seen what happen in Ireland in state funded childrens homes?
I would make cruelty to animals a very serious offence, punishable by a long long time of working on farms etc to contribute to society. All
animals in situations of obvious cruelty to be freed.
So no forced farming on animals? How will you feed the population?
so basically everyone who contributes to society in some way or provides the basics for themselves is also entitled to be provided for by the
govt run farms etc if in times of need they need help or dont have time to grow enough or make stuff for themselves - e.g. becuz working.
And what happens to these who do not want to contribute?
Education in schools to educate kids that consumerism is a bad thing. that they should re-use things whereever possible; and build things to
last - not use things once (including clothes) then throw them away. Also to educate kids not to gather more possessions than they really need.
Advertising to be severely restricted (not allowed like it is now on tv every night etc)- and subject to very close government scrutiny re: all claims
that are made for products.
So what will be advertised on TV and how will people be able to afford them if people only get what they need. This contradicts the basis tenant of a
state run economy without any money.
Basically doctors/businesses providing services to community give them free of charge (well people use coupons or units that they've got on
the basis of their contribution to society or self sufficiency); but then are reimbursed by the govt through its exchange policy for certain amounts
of whatever goods/services they need - based on their business has provided to the community. Maybe coupon type things could be used. E.g. Business's
contribution to society is assessed - and then given a certian number of units etc to use which can be exchanged for things like - travel overseeas;
food; clothes; etc.
A coupon is no difference to money if it is based on their contribution. People who contribute more will get more coupons, will be lead to greed and
envy. And how can you have business when you stated early on that everything will be state controlled?
There would need to be limits on how much /how many coupons any individual landowner/household was entitled to - so that groups of people didnt
accumulate too many things at the expense of others. Beyond a certain maximum limit - the services if they are provided are done so out of a desire to
help society etc. So no one is allowed to have too much more than others. Including government, the leader/s, prominent members of society etc.
(obviously at the start of the reorganisation, the assets of billionaires - where they comprise actual businesses/goods services etc will come under
govt control - the 'money' of billionaires will be worthless since no money allowed etc. But if they are providing services to society they can
still do so and receive their unit/coupon entitlements from govt but the amount of land they can take care of wud become the same as everyone else. so
that excess land will come back under govt control for re-categorization (e.g. as nature reserve) or redistribution.
So people will never do more than the minimum required to get their coupons and leaders will always have more
perhaps a panel of the best scientists and peoples from other discliplines can be arranged to advise whoever is elected as leader. there would
have to be strict controls in place to prevent corruption/disintegration of the system. E.g. ensure that all leaders/advisors cannot either accumulate
more goods/services than anyone else up to the limit set; and always to be based on contribution to society.
Why would a leader who is not elected or subject to election listen to anyone?
