The Solutions:

 

Here are the Solutions that were Presented thus far - Extracted from the Economist's Journey to Life blog:

 

Unemployment / Full Employment

If unemployment exists - the government must step in to create jobs where possible - because employment is a basic human right.

 

Role of Governments

The government will still play a role to provide everyone with their basic human rights such as healthcare, education, housing, sanitation, roads, employment etc. So - the government will fund these points through taxes. The only tax that will exist are the value-added tax on products - this will be part of the labelling of products - where it'll show the percentage of the price that goes to tax and for what the tax will be used. There will be no need for an income tax to redistribute income in a fair way - because income will be distributed fairly from the get-go.

Taxation and Banks

VAT will be added to each product in a way to make sure there is enough within the common pool of money - which is the tax - to ensure all the basic rights can be provided. Also consider that with all military expenditure falling away - there will actually be quite a substantial amount of money available to governments with which to fund these projects.

 

Banks in an EMC will exist as financial intermediaries, gathering surpluses to cover deficits in other places. So - the banks will be in charge of providing extra funds to companies who are running a deficit. This point will always be temporary and the required funding will lessen as there is an intervention that takes place and action is taken to make the company more effective and able to compete.

 

When companies with deficits are identified - someone will be sent to intervene, because it might indicate that the company is not effective. Then the problem must be identified and they have to learn from those companies that are successful - so that all may become equally successful and effective within managing resources and distributing goods and services.

Debt Forgiveness

Those who may find themselves in a position of unemployment as the result of Complete Debt Forgiveness will either be integrated into other companies - or government will provide them with new jobs. Preferably, these types of outflows would have to be considered before implementation to ensure smooth transitioning from one system to the next – and would thus have to be calculated and planned prior to full implementation.

These are some of the General Solution the Equal Money Capitalism System has presented.

Please make sure to educate yourself by going through the documents of the Equal Money Capitalism

And within the next blog, I will show how the Principles of the EMC will Solve the Problems I had shared thus far, with regards to Charity and Philanthropy.

 

Note: The EMC is an entirely new project that was started a week ago. We’re at the moment in the phase where we are brainstorming by answering questions. It’s a messy process – but an effective one to get all the relevant points addressed. So – also note that points will evolve and change as we go as we are not setting things in stone, but on a journey towards designing the EMC. The principles upon which EMC is based are laid out in the previous blog-posts. From those principles, we work our way towards what life in EMC would practically be like and how the system will function from an economic perspective.

 

 

Charities - Exposing the Problems - Day 295

This is a continuation to:

Charity and Activism - why is it a Capitalistic Scheme - Part 1 - Day 294

Problem No. 2

No one is Accountable.

One of the problems within the concept of Charities and Philanthropy is that in essence, there is no one that takes responsibility and stand accountable for the Problem. In my Previous Blog, I showed that the main problem with Charity and Philanthropy is that it blinds humanity from looking into the core/root/source of the problem and accordingly, taking or walking the approach that would eradicate the problem.

In shifting the Responsibility for Poverty for instance, to the Private corporations, instead of implanting a world wide governmental solution, all we are doing is perpetuating the gap and giving the Governments excuse to not address the point and take responsibility for the problems on earth.

Within that context, there is no Encompassing solutions but individual charities that touches the lives of a few in comparison to the amount of people that require a massive solution. In that, even with Charities, not everyone are being Equally supported and protected. 

On the Individual Level, giving to Charity or not having the means to give to charity but knowing that there are people out there that are giving to charity, creates the illusions that the problems are taken cared for without looking in common sense at the point that if the problems were taken cared for, poverty for instance would cease to exists. Therefor, having Charities in place, allows us to abdicate our responsibility as human beings in this world, to investigate and find solution that would not only solve the problem but also, prevent the current condition from ever manifesting again. Here, we utilize Hope and Powerlessness as our justifications to not stand up as if we completely gave up and decided that a change is impossible.

In other words, having charities in place, both the Governments and the Individuals abdicate the responsibility towards those who are dependent on Charities to exists at the moment. We do not confirm and check out that the goods and the aid that were supposed to reach their 'target' got to its destination; we do not check and confirm that the 'target' of charity is now having the basic ability to sustain a dignified life. As far as we concern, we did our part, we either donated our share or would have donated our share if we would financially able to and within that, we believe that we have done enough while meanwhile 7 billion people in this world are in the worsen condition ever existed on earth.

Saying that, what I see is that Charities in essence are Reactions, a distractions, from facing the core/root/source of the problem and therefor abdicate our responsibility as the creators of the problems instead of coming together and walk the Correction process that would End the Atrocities in this world.

Here, for further context, I suggest reading through the series - The Correction Process and the Desteni Message.

Will continue in my next blog in showing another problem we haven't considered before.

Charity and Activism - why is it a Capitalistic Scheme - Part 1 - Day 294

 

“When we want to help the poor, we usually offer them charity. Most often we use charity to avoid recognizing the problem and finding the solution for it. Charity becomes a way to shrug off our responsibility. But charity is no solution to poverty. Charity only perpetuates poverty by taking the initiative away from the poor. Charity allows us to go ahead with our own lives without worrying about the lives of the poor. Charity appeases our consciences.”

― Muhammad Yunus, Banker to the Poor: Micro-Lending and the Battle Against World Poverty

 

Well Said, thank you Prof. Dr. Muhammad Yunus. From here, let's have a look at the Problems with Charity and Presents Solutions.

 

Problem No.1

Ignoring the Problem.

Most people cannot see any Problem within the entire Charity and Philanthropy Industry since 'Charity and Philanthropy' was promoted and advertised as Noble action, Altruism  and even Godly.

 

However, if we place Charity and Philanthropy under the Microscope, we will discover the real nitty gritty truth behind the Charity and Philanthropy Business/Industry that is quite concerning given that most people see Charity and Philanthropy as something so Good and Positive.

 

Thus, one of the most urgent problems to address is the Relationship between Charity/Philanthropy and Poverty. As  Muhammad Yunus Indicated, through Charity/Philanthropy, we Ignore that there is a problem that must be result with an effective solution. In a way, Charity/Philanthropy in it's core design is a brilliant brainwashed method to maintain the gap between those that 'have' and those that don't have since what Charity/Philanthropy result with is the perpetuation of Poverty instead of complete Eradication of Poverty.

 

This was already implied in 1932 by Reinhold Niebuhr, Moral Man and Immoral Society, 1932

"We have previously suggested that philanthropy combines genuine pity with the display of power and that the latter element explains why the powerful are more inclined to be generous than to grant social justice."

 

And Yet, 80 years after and still, humanity is blinded from seeing reality directly as what Niebuhr presented decades ago. To the Contrary there are quite a few people that would even define Niebuhr as Fascist and condemn him for daring to speak up and expose what we have all directly and indirectly accepted and allowed this world to evolve as to the extent of which Humanity is deliberately Blinded from seeing the Fundamental Inequality that is rooted in the structure and values of our global society. Obviously, Charity and Philanthropy is nothing but a convenient patch up  for us to ignore the real reason, source, origin and root of the Problems existing in this world.

Nevertheless, Charity/Philanthropy from that perspective is the Acceptance and Allowance of Inequality to Persists within the attempt to mitigate the Consequences the Majority of Humanity participating and facing today so that us, good maintain our 'Feeling Good' Experience.

 

It is evidence the none of us actually understand the reason, source, origin and root of the Problems because if we had, our social behaviour would be totally different and we would stop Reacting to the Problems but rather, apply the correction required and Prevent the Problem from reoccurring again.

 

In my next blog, I will continue Identifying the Problems with regards to Charity and Philanthropy so that eventually, we could start consider practical solutions that would result with the outcome that is best for all.

Charity and Activism - why is it a Capitalistic Scheme - Overview - Day 293

In the past few days, I came across many articles over the news with regards to Charities and I decided to investigate the point of charity for myself to see, realize and understand what is the real and what is underneath this Media vibes of Charities.

 

To me, it was always obvious that Charity is not a solution because if it was, instead of having increasing numbers of people in poverty, we would have seen decreasing numbers or even better, a complete eradication of Poverty. The fact that the problem still persists, despite of the billions of Dollars circulating in Charities, shows that there is something worth investigating and exposing in common sense.

 

Obviously, many have done so before me however, no real and substantial solution were presented or applied. So I've decided to take on a different approach in showing the different dynamics with Charity, Philontraphy and Poverty, what are the Problems and what are the Individual solution for each and every problem and within that, one would be able to see, realize and understand that once the solutions established and implemented world wide, we will receive our true and real Rewards both on the individual level and on a global level.

 

I'm still in my early stages of investigating the Charity and Philanthropy within all its dimensions however, what I have gathered thus far is the direct relationship between Charity and Poverty, Charity and Tax Reduction, Charity and Exploitation and Charity and Free PR - all of which is covered with Beautiful words like: "I want to give back to my society; I'm a good person; shame, they are suffering and I must help where ever I can"; Oh, it was so kind of him to donate so much money to help the poor".

 

Within this blog, I will walk one simply point that came up today in the "The Witness" Newspaper: 'Charitable Millionaires'.

According to the article by Siphamandla Zondi, who is the executive director of the institute for Global Dialogue, the solution for Poverty in South Africa: "Real Economic Freedom will Come from Structural Reforms, increasing Philanthropy, a radical Strengthening of the Public education on which the poor depend, and the growth of a socially conscious middle class, especially in the black communities."

 

In south Africa alone, 12,000,000 (12 Million) people are estimated to go to sleep hungry, on a daily basis. Is Charity Monies will feed all of them tonight? Is Philanthropy would Prevent Poverty to the Extent of which ALL have Free Access to Education, Nutrition, Electricity, Housing, Clothes, Health Care? Would Charity and Philanthropy Prevent one from Becoming another's Slave because otherwise, their family would have nothing to eat? Would Charity and Philanthropy End Child Slavery and Abuse? I can continue asking many more questions but nevertheless, the answer would remain: "No". Because if it had, there would not be 12 Million people that are going to bed hungry tonight.

 

Real Economic Freedom is when Life is being Valued as Equal Life for all, regardless your generational blood line and skin Color; regardless your Religion and Culture; Regardless if you were born rich or poor because Real Economic Freedom is when each and every human being is taken cared for from Birth to Death with Equal access to the World's Resources where Individual Empowerment and Expansion can be Achieved at will. Real Economic Freedom is when Debt is being Forgiven and we all start as Equals to live a Life that is worth while with the Resource and the Technology that is available on earth. Real Economic Freedom is when Education is provided to all to expand, explore, empower and enhance themselves which through which they can practically contribute to the better living of us all.

 

So, this article is the opening of a new blog series where I will walk in detail, what and how Charities and Philanthropy are not the solution but rather, a big part of the Problem. I will show Solutions that can PRACTICALLY be applied within the Principle of that which is best for all Lives wherein Poverty, would eradicate from the face of this world for once and for all.

 

I will Prove that the Above statement are not Empty Slogans but rather a living Expression that can be lived within and as the Equal Money Capitalistic System.
