People's Party of "Sewerage" USA:
True liberalism is more complicated than government socialism and nationalization, but more secure.
In the 21st century, the threat is posed by power as such - government or corporate.
Officials of government socialism will be able to perfectly collusions with billionaires.
§ "Matter of survival":
Movement for People's Party (MPP) is in the USA.
MPP warns:
"Wealthy people will gain access to technologies first and exploit them in an effort to entrench their advantages".
"Bio weapons, nano weapons, artificial intelligence and other technologies with the power to wipe out humanity".
This question is too important, so it is necessary as maximize to specify the processes and increase the accuracy of the probabilities in them.
Against bio-weapons, nano-weapons and other technologies will be able to protect the existing NSA, etc. - in the 21st century.
But they will not protect against psycho-oriented AI.
"Creation an abundant and harmonious world is not just a moral imperative, it is now a matter of survival for our species".
We need to forget about abundance and fairness and focus on survival - today.
Survival, not social guarantees, should be offered to Americans.
The party that distracts Americans to government socialism is the party of sending America down the sewers of History.
Humanity has sacrificed people to give Americans immunity from government socialism.
What is needed is not a party of workers' democracy, but a club of survival.
However, the measures necessary for survival coincide with the measures of radical democracy and liberalism.
Paradise or oblivion? - Oblivion, because heaven for everyone is a utopia.
Only a radical acceleration of democratization and transparency can save America as America.
The MPP platform commands respect for its humanistic orientation.
But its proposed measures to increase democracy are ineffective and are reduced by government orientation.
It is being advertised only the declaration: "The parties highly-centralized, undemocratic and unaccountable to the public", "National initiative power". But the structure, the mechanism for its implementation is not proposed.
§ MPP presents:
“A majority of people in the US now don't feel represented by either the Democratic or Republican parties.
Two out of three Americans are now calling for a major new party.
Congress does the bidding of Wall Street, corporations and billionaires — no matter which party is in power" (Https://peoplesparty.org/our-plan)
"We’re using a decentralized and horizontal organizational structure - Self-organizing systems (SOS)" (https://peoplesparty.org/about/organizational-structure)
However, this SOS is similar to the "Democratic Centralism" of the CPSU:
§ "Coordinators:
Bottomline the work, onboard new volunteers, help match volunteers to roles within their working groups, schedule and facilitate meetings.
Represent the views of their working group members on the coordinator’s circle, which meets to make decisions on overall strategy and initiatives.
§ Roles:
Each person in a working group or circle will have one or more roles that they are responsible for (roles match people to tasks)"
(https://peoplesparty.org/about/organizational-structure)
Self-organizing in really should be decentralized - the initiative should only come from below, the Coordinators should not decide anything. IT procedures horizontally agreed upon by the participants should fulfill the role of Coordinators.
"Help of the Coordinators in the match volunteers to roles", etc. usually becomes the power of the Coordinators.
If the leaders of the People's Party are not interested in the monopoly of their power, then where are the contacts of ordinary activists?
If the leaders of the People's Party are not interested in the monopoly of their power, then where are the web-pages with the contacts of ordinary activists?
The "People's" party will be the same "people's" party as the "People's Republic of China"
§ "Sewerage" of American activity:
No alternative structures are suggested to solve the declared problem - "The establishment parties lack the internal democratic mechanisms… They impervious to internal democracy at a fundamental structural level"
Mentioned only "Advisory council of experts and influencers,… Plan events with allies and endorsers"
Apparently, this activity is completely devoted to the Coordinators
The activity of ordinary participants is reduced to "banners, flyers, art, light projections".
Thus, as always, the performers are lured by a truthful slogan - to channel their activity into the "sewer"
However, when using psychic-oriented AI, the United States itself will be Gone with the "Sewer of the History"
The initial activity of the participants should be to find and experimentally test socio-political designs alternative to the one in which "Congress does the bidding of Wall Street"
§ Between 2 lights:
"Guarantee employment, a living wage, housing, healthcare, social security, education and freedom from monopolies and unfair competition to every American" is good.
But won't the bureaucratic class the guarantor - in addition to the billionaire class?
It is necessary to guarantee not so much the well-being - today, as - the survival of the Americans – tomorrow.
Even if the Americans achieve social guarantees today, then in 30 years these guarantees will begin to degrade due to a sharp improvement in the manipulation of the opinion of Americans with whom they cannot do anything.
§ The paradox of socialism:
Socialist laws in the United States will be distorted by politicians, most of whom are from the elite.
They can, by virtue of regulation, which stifles competition, raise prices.
The redistribution of income is advisable only at the last stage - personal consumption.
All other “pro-poor” administrative measures will have the opposite result because:
1. Reduce competition and raise prices,
2. Laws will be developed by people not poor, but from the elite, and they will always distort them into the details of the laws to the opposite.
However, even the redistribution of personal consumption must be performed by someone and provided with violence.
Therefore, liberalization and competition are more optimal than any administrative socialism.
§ Optimal - true democracy and liberalism:
We need to look for ways to reduce economic polarization - using liberal and democratic methods, not bureaucratic ones.
We need to think not about taking more away, but about the growth of democracy.
We need to think not about opposing the power of the state to the power of corporations, but about reducing the power, the lobbying capabilities of the latter.
The ensure of social guarantees and the redistribution of income is necessary - not with the help of the state and not through federal taxes, but - with the help of the transparent freedom flat IT-system, as well by direct self-government - on the spot and at work.
Today does not need to nourish the Pentagon to defend against Russian missiles; instead, decentralized counter-propaganda is needed.
Otherwise, "Congress will continue to follow the bidding of Wall Street, corporations and billionaires".
The optimal way to improve economic equality is true liberalism.
America is not free - there is persists a lot of monopolism in it.
Examples:
- Intellectual "property" of corporations (liberalization of intellectual "property" in pharmaceuticals is more effective than "Medicare");
- Restrictions on trade unions (balance of freedom);
- Restrictions on the purchase of factories by employees.
With zero monopoly and rent, the average super-profit of billionaires tends to zero.
There is a "Law of Conservation of Wealth" - how much decrease from rent-recipien, the same amount will come to the ordinary creators.
With maximum freedom, the economy will grow as fast as possible too.
Degrowth is needed as reduce resource consumption, but technological growth in labor productivity even helps for it.
§ Why is radical - Libertarian democratization necessary today?:
Democratization is a basic factor in the survival of the United States.
The Iron Curtain will not help the United States, since their political system is not enough different from that of Russia or China.
US liberal democracy today is a defective and ugly parody that is unsustainable in the 21st century.
Democracy without political freedom will turn into a controlled totalitarian democracy.
The handicap of the United States before Russia on the way to doom will be only 10 years – in 2050.
Democratization must not fall behind off the exponentially accelerating development of psycho-oriented AI.
§ Deliberative network:
The best way to do this is not by a new "progressive" party, but by the Deliberative Network - the democratic analytical IT-structure that will draft legislation itself, rather than nominate congressional candidates, nominate of which will be easily manipulated and easily bought or cheated in 2050.
§ The United States is doomed too:
Of course, the political system of the United States is much more democratic than that of Russia, but not fundamentally. The main thing is that there is no guarantee that it will not be reborn into a "Managed Democracy" either - by 2060.
Patriotic propaganda in the US may not work in 2024, but it may work in 2052.
§ On social polarization:
I'm not worried about polarization as such, but as a factor in the "End of Civilization".
The immediate threat I see is - intellectual polarization - through the use of machine intelligence. -
The Symbiotes will be able to do whatever they want with the rest of the crowd.
The danger is that the "Symbiotes", apparently, the desire for power will be stronger than sympathy and concern, because they will be the same modern authoritarian rulers.
- The intellectual polarization of the near future is directly related to the modern socio-political polarization in society.
However, economic polarization breeds political polarization. -
Hired trolls are much stronger than free volunteers-anti-trolls - as a rule - among people the share of "Judas" is many times higher than the share of non-unprincipled, not indifferent, "eccentric" - non-opportunists.
Therefore, it is desirable to reduce - economic polarization.
But even more important is economic transparency - prevention, prohibition of spending money on propaganda. -
Democracy is social equality and openness without economic equality.
§ Responsibility of Americans:
Americans and without guarantees live better than 90% of earthlings. It is the Americans who must guarantee the survival of the Earth.
Russians and 90% of humanity perhaps be doomed, but the US are able still change.
We have to explain to the Texans that politics is not football, and Trump is not a rock star. - Americans bear great responsibility for the fate of not only their descendants, but also for the fate of the Earth and the meaning of the Universe.
