My Ideal Society

Shitpost

(I'm labeling this a shitpost since the latter part touches upon things that aren't economics, but otherwise, I want to share what my ideal society would look like. I purposely am not using the word Capitalism, but know that I consider myself a supporter of it.)

The Economy & Core Functions of the State:

  • The main purpose of the state is the economy, thus the state itself is made up of not-for-profit mutual organizations that interconnect and are owned by everyone. These not-for-profit mutuals form local, democratically run Mutual Organization Networks. People are members of their respective Mutual Organization Networks based on their location.
  • The not-for-profit mutuals, via the Mutual Organization Networks, democratically plan all production at a local level, eliminating commodity production. Therefore there is no money, and of course, no pricing.
  • Not-for-profit mutuals can be created by people who propose these firms to the Mutual Organization Networks, who then democratically decide if they are worthy. If so, the person(s) who proposed it gets the ability to run the mutual within planning guidelines. Otherwise, they are created by the Mutual Organization Networks themselves, who elect representatives to run them (since people can't spend all day running the economy).
  • All labor is voluntary and done for the purpose of bettering the community.
  • There are no markets outside of bartering (e.g. trading an apple for an orange) since all things are planned.
  • A national military exists to serve as defense of the nation.
  • People are free to associate/move to and from different mutual organizations, and leave them as they see fit.

----------------Beyond this line, I get into things outside of economics -------------------

A Libertarian Society:

  • Courts: Due process is a right, and people are innocent until proven guilty. No money exists, so no unfair advantages for sides. Warrants are a necessity for all arrests.
  • Policing: Police councils have democratically elected members from each community who supervise the officers. The officers themselves are volunteers (as all labor is) and can be democratically recalled by the local communities at any time.
  • Jury nullification as the standard: Juries can rule in favor of jury nullification, meaning if the punishment is too harsh, and/or they find the law unjust, they can acquit the person on trial.
  • Participatory Lawmaking: Laws are created, amended, and repealed using direct democracy via each Mutual Organization Network. Laws may not violate the constitution (aka this framework) unless agreed upon by 2/3rds of all of the networks.
  • Freedom of speech, religion, & firearms: People can speak freely so long as they aren’t calling to harm others, and people may own firearms unrestricted. The right to worship any religion or not worship is also a guaranteed liberty.
