# 10 Mutualism

As our society becomes more industrialized in the long, to very long term, we need to recognize that the majority of humans may become unemployed. While I would like all these so called unemployed people to continue to be individual craftsmen, that isn't always feasible for all people. To address this need to support the nation, and in deed humanity, some great thinkers came up with a social philosophy. It is called Mutualism.
---------------------------

Mutualism recognized industrialization would require larger means of production than one laborer could manage. In other words, as industrialization increases, then need for labor decreases. There would be individual laborers working as independent craftsmen, but there also would need to be free, democratic associations of workers (or former workers) sharing equally in the ownership of the means of production such a factories. Goods produced by the factories would still be priced according to the total cost to the associated laborers, who would share the proceeds equally. This is why I advocate that everyone should become an owner in the means of production. That is to say, own stock in the company you work for, by grant or purchase, and as many other companies as you are able.
Economic viability requires credit, which the mutualists understood. They proposed mutually held savings banks (today we call these credit unions, although most if not all are watered down versions) which would lend money only at an interest rate required to meet the administrative costs of operating the bank. The stakeholders in the banks would be the freely associating laborers who benefited from the credit.
Mutualism opposed both the collectivization of property under communism and the accumulation of property under capitalism. Proudhon (and my-self, see rental policies) also rejected what he called the possession of property in which the property holder could make money by rents or impede others from using the property. Instead, mutualism supported private ownership of that amount of property required by a laborer to support the means of production the laborer or laborers controlled.
Bonuses based on false earnings statements, which have been restated to be lower at a later time. And they still get their bonuses.
Under the current structure of most (in not all) corporations, the CEO, and the executive staff create all the value, and workers create almost nothing.
If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If CFO’s and Financial managers at those companies were angels, no corporate governance would be necessary.

Solution 1
Stock is paid to employee and Employees can sell bonds to the company. All stock is voting stock.
Solution 2
See Rental Policy
Solution 3
A new model of business needs to be created. (I'm working on this)

# 9 No Tariff's

It's that simple. No Tariff's. No Tariffs on trade between countries. The end of tariffs. A level playing field on a world wide scale. No protectionism. Free Trade. World wide.

So start producing and selling.

#8 Building and tying together the necessary foundations of a society.

Building and tying together the necessary foundations of a society.

Fact, there are many countries, and cultures on Earth.

 It is important to tie together concepts that are similar to each culture so that we do not disrespect each culture and country. I truly find it hard to believe that the human family after so many years of isolation from each other due to slow transportation and communication methods that we have not duplicated many of the same concepts and ideas. These concepts and ideas may come from different sources and different stories, but I highly doubt the morality is different. We are all concerned for the good of all Humanity.

An example of this is in the infrastructure of plumbing and water sources. There is no doubt that the countries  that have been able to define procedures, methods, and standards where each household is provided with clean running water and proper disposal or recycling of waste products , the people of those countries are better off.  While this is only one example there are many others.
These concepts must be matched to the countries and the nation’s needs for each area, and in areas where deficiencies are found, such as lack of resources or will. All the areas must make a concentrated effort to reduce those deficiencies and help. In effect by helping others, you help yourselves.

While the following hyperlink is not a specific list, it does outline, from historical records, what I mean by thinking about the building blocks of societies, and how we need to promote and tie these ideas to current cultural ideas.

#7 FDR's four Freedoms

To be clear, I fully support this speech by F.D.R.

In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms.

The first is freedom of speech and expression -- everywhere in the world.

The second is freedom of every person to worship God in his own way -- everywhere in the world.

The third is freedom from want -- which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants -- everywhere in the world.

The fourth is freedom from fear -- which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor-- anywhere in the world.

The only addition is that I fully intend to make the future days, now.

#6 Abortion

First I'm a man. I have no control over what a women chooses to do.

That said, I'm Pro-Choice and hope as many as possible women choose Pro-Life.

That's its, really it's not my business. As a plank in my platform, I would leave this up to the wisest women among us.

# 5 Rent based on Mortgages

If a building has been paid for, the tenets of that building should not be charged for a non existent mortgage. For example all building over thirty years old have had the mortgage paid off. The Building owner is taking all the extra income from that building and 1) living off it or 2) using it to as a down-payment to purchase more buildings.

What is bad about this is most of the time it's the least able to pay increased rents that suffer. In many cases Rental prices exceed the price of monthly mortgage payment if only the renter qualified for a loan. To add gasoline to the fire, banks don't lend to people unless they have a 'good' credit rating. Mostly based if you pay your bills on time each month.

This creates a third kind of inflation. Credit inflation. Where banks in essence get to print there own money in the form of the amount of credit they lend out. Taken together, this economic system lead to a amplitude cycle that demands booms and busts. With the wave length of time being determined by how productive we are as a society.

Let it be noted that conversely any building that does have a mortgage will have higher monthly rates. As it should being a modern building.

Note I'm not saying that true maintenance and upgrade costs can not be included in the monthly rent, only that mortgages that have been paid off, should automatically have the rent reduced by that amount.

Which is also the solution.

# 4 Grand Strategy for Earth

1. Grand Strategy for Earth
2.  Build a close to real time social/economic model of the earth. Top level view would be a combination of Google Earth or Orbital views and Victoria or Hearts of Iron, with lower level views of super imposed layers of data sets.
1. Social
1. Demographics similar to Victoria
1. Ability to 'dig in' to data set
2. Use current standards
1. US workforce codes
2. US Medicare/caid, ICD-10, CPT codes
3. any and all other demographic codes
4. 
   
2. Economic
1. Economic model similar to Victoria and Hearts of Iron with total transparency.
2. Realistically, 'Players' can/would need to be set up so that only there data is visible to them.(up to debate right now, I would prefer total transparency.
1. Ability to 'dig in' to data set
2. Use current standards
1. Market places(NY,London, HK, Germany, Chicago, Japan, etc)
2. Company and org transparency
1. all dollars/currency is accounted for
3. US workforce codes
4. US Medicare/caid, ICD-10, CPT codes
5. any and all other demographic codes
3.  Pursue building an organization that would maintain this device.
1. For data sets, need to link to real time data report from various industries to establish incoming data stream. 
2.  this data stream would be parsed to the different levels. Down to the individual level where possible.
3.  Sent up to regional/world data centers
4. Transparent in planetary info viewer. 
5. Where applicable scrubbed of unwanted/private data. 
4. Start by implementing a project in one small town or area
1.  attempt 100% volunteer participation.
1.  Important for long term that most if not all Families in area participate
2.  Important for long term that most if not all civic, business, government, and any other org participate with full knowledge, understanding and acceptance. Use contracts if needed.
2.  project model and new communities would be able to 'plug in' to larger model
5. Why this is not Google Earth or any other data set.
1. Coordinated 
2. Links Money flows to people and orgs
