Solutions consist of sharing information and powers between all with direct democracy, and liberate humanity to the obligation of labour to live with Basic Income; 3. To realize these two solutions it suits to start with realizing politically this corporation project; the civil corporation would have of his own initiative: And in the end, one can even to imagine a human corporation decentralized and multicultural, that would work more democratically without States nations (this that does not want to say without public services) and without political parties (this that does not want to say without democratic political process). I) Direct Democracy The direct democracy is always preferable to the representative democracy ( = parliamentary democracy) because it is more difficult for the big business to corrupt billion citizen than a small number of elected. Internet could facilitate the realization of the direct democracy. the portal for direct democracy in Europe II) Basic Income Basic Income allows to improve significantly helps it the countries in the process of development. In fact, the redistribution (of a part) world-wide GDP directly towards to individuals presents two (huge) advantages: Introduction to Basic Income principles by François Blais: III) Politic realisation We think that some citizen (with doctors in constitutional right) should establish a "standard" Constitution sort that upright the direct democracy principles and basic income, so that the civil society be able, in a maximum of countries, demand a popular referendum of which the issue would be the replacement of the Constitution existing by the new one. In Europe, in particular, it suits of not to lose times since began in 2002 the works of the European Convention, presided by Valéry Giscard, and that has for goal to throw the bases of a Constitution for a widened Europe to twenty-five members to the horizon of 2004. The persons that direct this Convention are especially political elite very linked to the big business. The European civil society of course were called to participate in these works, but it appears that it has not in reality no decision strength, since his function is only consultative. On the other hand we knows that the decision mechanisms at the heart of the European union are undemocratic since the Counsel of the European union, that calls together the ministers representing the fifteen governments members and constitutes the true decision organ of the EU, do not must return account to person as they cannot be overthrow by any instance, doing this despise the principle of the power separation at the roots of moderns democracy. As for European Parliament, the only institution directly elected by the citizens, it is the big one left for counts of this system since it cannot propose nor refuse new European « laws »! Sources: What we have not to do in any case, is to count on the politicians in place to replace the democracy representative by the direct democracy. In fact, it is not very probable that the politicians will be in favour of the idea to eliminate their political functions and the privileges linked to it. The risk therefore is real that our elected pretend to be interested in these themes in order to recover them and putting them in a form that replies more to their personal interests than to those of the population. Few alter-globalists of the social forum, that believe again in the representative democracy, limit themselves to attempt "to contaminate" the programs and practice of the existing political party. But we think that it is rather a "recuperation by the hierarchy of these party". This is the reason it would be judicious that in a maximum of countries the civil society constitutes a new political party without leaders or representing, of which the internal functioning would be based on the principles of the direct democracy, and of which programs it would be to realize the direct democracy and basic income on the planet before 2020. [PS: in the page "direct Democracy", this again fictitious political party is called "Party Universalistic"]. A such new party could bring together the one and those that are fed up to be confined in a ideological framework, capitalist or Communist. More this party will be in power in a big number of countries, more it will be able to set up measures that are not feasible (or efficiently) at the world-wide level: raised bank secret, basic income, taxes on the movements of capitals, etc. |
