I've noticed from the thread "Does capitalism work?" that a lot of people here knows that capiatlism doesn't work. So I wonder which other system could be used...
(1) But first, we need to lay down the imperfections of capitalism,
(2) and to define why we created capitalism in the first place- that is, the purpose of capitalism. That also include the goals we wish to achieve with our new system.
(3) After that, we need to find alternative solutions to the specific problems that capitalism attempts to solve, while keeping in mind the lessons we have learnt from capitalism.
(4) Finally, we need to find a way to work those solutions together in a concise, efficient and precise system.
This is the flawed approach.
1. Define what a society is and what an institution is.
2. Define what it means to highly functioning.
3. Define an approach to attain a highly functioning society.
The institution serves 2 functions. Both of which are symbiotic.
1. To protect and support the individual.
2. To protect and support the environment.
In order to support the individual, the environment must be supported.
In order to support the environment, the individual must be supported.
Social progress is the capacity in which the institution is capable of fulfilling its purpose. The individual should have full access to support and equal protection of their rights and health. The better and more efficient this is, the higher the standard of progress is.
Laws should prevent human abuse and environmental abuse.
FIRST WORLD
NATROPOLIS
First World is a civilization of high level progress and high standard of living. A standard of living the world has never seen before. Such standard of living is currently only available to the super rich. It is not an excessive lavish standard. It features the provisions of high education, health care, protection of rights, physical and mental wellness, all at high standards. The individual is completely surrounded by high health and abundance throughout all sections of the mondess.
There are 2 very distinct and separate types of environment.
Nature: Protected natural territory.
Mondess: Any area that is not all natural wildreness environment.
You are either in nature or in mondess.
Current capitalist and other social/economic/political systems rely on vast amounts of vehicles and roads for transportation. The amount of human and natural resources required to support and regulate such a system is incomprehensible. Land, material, and human labor needed to build roads. Lannd/Materials/Human Labor needed to build the cars. L/M/H needed to regulate the transportation system. L/M/H needed to handle the waste products and garbage created as a result of this system. Separation of the community because of increasingly separated communes. Not to mention automotive related deaths are the #4 killer of adults 25-44 years old. #1 killer of all ages under that.
The Natropolis is a densely packed city capable of supporting hundreds of thousands of people in a very high standard environment with an internal transportation system. Similar to an Archology. There can be many of these locations all around the world. Each location can be connected by a single highway and railway.
Each location can play a specific function in relation to all other locations. In addition, there are smaller outposts for mining and agriculture.
Natropolis for Technology Development
Natropolis for Acedemics
Natropolis for Healthcare and Elderly.
Natropolis for Administration and Justice.
Natropolis for Manufacturing (1 for each product type).
(Apparel, Furniture, Pharmaceuticals, Technical Equipment, Industrial Vehicles.)
Farming Outpost
Agriculture Outpost
Space Station
Extraterrestrial Settlements
As such, the entire land of the Earth can be vast amounts of nature with small pockets of highly technological human settlements.
