TOWARDS A NEW WORLD ORDER
For all who aspire to a unifed human race and an empire that is sae, air,
sustainable and ree...
1. We are inspired and driven by many waters of political thought. Republicanism
taught us that the autonomy of the individual should always trump the privileges ofinheritance. Democracy convinced us that the decisions of the leaders of any
institution should be informed not by personal incentives, but by the needs and
interests of those around them. Conservatism should know not to squander the
earth. narchism saw that all forms of authority are devised and arti!cial and
should be sub"ect to critical thought. #iberalism taught us the values of liberty and
equality . Communism dreamed a universal solidarity of humankind. We welcome
these traditions not as !$ed dogmas or ideologies, but as bodies of imaginative
thought which can ever be revised, reformed and uni!ed.
%. We are aware that the structures of our political reality are made and
imagined& no language, legal framework or system of rights is absolute. 'ur
schools, our constitutions, our factories, our stores( all of our institutions are human
inventions and we resent when the presiding or e$ecutive control of these creations
enslaves us. We resent when entrenched policies, precedents and systems rule over
our possibilities for life. We believe that all human o)ce and direction should be
open to the lights of criticism and revision and that knowledge and information
should never be owned by and manipulated for the bene!ts of the few.
*. We believe that an enlightened people can transcend the divisions of
ethnicities, genders, classes, faiths, parties, and nations, and that only by
transcending these divisions can we create equality and wealth for all.
+. We understand that only foundation for our e$istence is our biological
incarnation and we hold the earth, which sustains us, to be sacred. We know that
the body and brain and mind are destined for death and awareness of our limited
time here informs our way of life.
. We welcome the visions and perspectives of the many religious traditions that
have grown upon the earth. -owever, we can see that we live in a time of spiritual
confusion and aimlessness. od once led the empire that dominates our planet( but
in our time many have come to question his laws, his account of our origins and
destiny and even his e$istence. While some continue to faithfully await his return,
the dominant cultures of media and social life, even where informed by the logics of
science, have become devoid of e$istential purpose or thought, and arti!ces of
politics, business and entertainment have become overwhelmed by animosities,antagonisms, and con/ict. 0eanwhile we have felt the unprecedented growth of
mental or spiritual illness and disease, from depression or isolation, pathologies of
an$iety and fear, to most severely the lunatics who have stricken out in freak
attacks of murder and terrorism. 'ur measures of security and psychiatry may
counteract, prevent or repair the breaks( however they will not bring harmony to a
world of fragmented and oppositional forces and views.

. 2piritual indeterminacy is not the only crisis facing our planet today. t the
twilight the last century we discovered that the ecosystem of our planet was
endangered the by industrial development of our nations. Despite many years of
warnings, those who direct our technological and industrial development, in
government as well as in business, have not, fundamentally changed their course.
We know that we depend upon the consumption of vast quantities of energy in
order to support our cities, our transportation, our technologies and our homes.
-owever awareness of the detrimental impact we are e3ecting to our planet,
together with awareness of the cultural and economic wars plaguing our planet,
demands that e3ect a break, a change in our technological, material and moral
direction.
4. 5he e$traction of natural resources, the development of infrastructure and the
imperatives of production can no longer be blindly e$ecuted for the purpose of
bolstering private wealth. 6t is not enough for governments to regulate, at arm7s
length, the operations of our industries. We must have companies which e$ist in
order to serve the planet and our species rather than themselves, and we will !ght
to create them.
8. We despise the corporate empires which systematically e$ploit workers around
the globe. 5hough these economic structures are supported and defended by the
law we see that they are fundamentally unfair and undemocratic and actively work
to change them.
9. We decry the dominating national compulsions for economic growth, promoted
in ever increasing sums o3 gross product. 6n seeking to end unemployment and
poverty we should strive, not for endless !nancial increase but for sustainable
cultures and lives.
1:. We re"ect the claim that an economy should depends upon antagonistic
competition. We believe a more productive economy is one in which the methods
and modes of production can be openly shared between peoples.
11. We re"ect the moral legitimacy of franchises, patents, trade secrets and
e$clusive access. We re"ect the laws that the proponents of such practices have
created in order to defend their dominions over words and ideas( whether the
names and trademarks of organi;ations or the methods and brands of production.
5hey have enabled producers of drugs, food, clothing, machines and information to
reserve control over abilities which should be available to all( they serve corporate
interests rather than the free market or the public. We believe that a business
which serves democracy makes knowledge available to all, and that any business
should be free to copy or draw inspiration from the practices of any other. 'nly byallowing the freedom of knowledge and information, can we create a society which
ma$imi;es the possibilities of creativity and entrepreneurship in all human
practices. -uman society has only begun to tap into the possibilities of biological,
electrical and computational technology and we should not enforce the mechanisms
of control which halt our potentials for development.
1%. We believe that all forms of governments should be open and transparent in all
of their operations. 2ecrecy or con!dentiality in governance is only ever used as a
![Page 3: Towards a New World Order](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021117/56d6bf721a28ab3016964997/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

means of conspiring against people and we therefore consider it wholly unethical.
We call for the public availability of all documentation of governance in all nations
on the earth.
1*. We believe that no organi;ation should never be structured despotically.
<residents, ministers, priests, boards, chiefs, e$ecutives, and o)cers must be
accountable to those that they lead. truly democratic society is one in which themarket is democratic together with the state. We will work to create such
democratic institutions of production, technology, and resale( the guiding path that
any order be opened to criticism and e$perimentation. 6n non=governmental
institutions, as well as the traditional institutions of national legislature( electoral
politics need not be the only or best form of democratic thought. Direct democracy
can be facilitated within hierarchies of organi;ation where leadership is made
accountable to their subordinates and bureaus in all pro"ect and developments. We
believe the operations of organi;ation should never be locked into command, policy
or protocol. >o one should be a cog in a machine they are not allowed to see or
understanding. ?very worker should have the freedom to transform and develop the
practices in which they play a role and have access to the information, both!nancial and directive, that their superiors develop to guide them. >o one should
enter into an organi;ation
1+. We consider the e$ecutive o)cer, despite being celebrated in our business
schools, a product of dictatorial organi;ation and prohibitive of creative and
e$perimental democratic life. #eaders should be receiver of information rather than
dictators( we can have organi;ations in which we can all be leaders and democratic
o)cers of our lives. 5he public, "ust as well as the government should have to
power to know about, regulate or critici;e the operations of any business.
1. We understand that money is a human invention and that its chief function
since its invention has always been to enable the powerful to dominate and rule theweak. t the dawn of the %1st century we see accumulating mountainous reserves
of capital contrasted with e$treme poverty. ll of us, every worker and every small
or medium si;ed business relies upon the trickling down from these fortunes in
order to sustain and secure ourselves. 0eanwhile, the very wealthy, celebrated and
envied in !nancial culture, direct the course of planet.
1. We recogni;e the need, today, to depend upon the system of capital in order to
ensure accountability for labor. -owever, we decry those who control or use others
to advance their fortunes while leaving the vast ma"ority of us in dependence. We
believe that wealth, aligned with our better impulses, can serve the earth and serve
a people. We know that a redirection of our economy could end human hunger and
insecurity. 6t7s central function should be to create good, alleviate internationalpoverty and su3ering and second to foster human development and /ourishing. We
will !ght for this change. <ublic service and the creation of well=being should not be
the incidental work of nonpro!ts, but the fundamental and only function of wealth.
14. We regard the international system of stocks and the trades on the stock
market as a corruption of the concept of ownership and re"ect the stock market
movements as measures of the health of nations. What began as a system by which
![Page 4: Towards a New World Order](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021117/56d6bf721a28ab3016964997/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

entrepreneurs could seek support for new ventures has deteriorated into an
arbitrary system in which stakeholders distant to the operations of an organi;ation
gamble for their own ends. @ut those who have invested in ownership of fractions of
names are cogni;ant of the risks of their investment... 2tock=ownership and control
is inimical to the ideals of democratic organi;ations and as we create organi;ations
which serve their workers and members, stock may have no meaning anymore.
18. We believe our government, in response to a people demanding change, can
side with the 99A and that the police and military, moral stewards of society, while
protecting us from those who would use violence, may be a force which facilities
and advocates the transition to a freer and fairer lives( only an immoral agency
would hinder the removal of corporate despotism and development of organi;ations
which serve their people rather than themselves. @y the same gesture, "ust without
violence, through which we removed the despotic rule of kings and queens...
19. While guided by our moral sense, we cannot know in advance what
organi;ations and structures we shall create( there can be no blueprint for the
future. -owever, we can have a sense of our direction.
%:. 5hroughout our economies, we can end the ladders of wages and raises, the
devices employers use to keep their workers on a leash( incentivising and
controlling behavior. We cannot have organi;ations closed to . What can be fair is
only that workers share equally the earnings of a pro"ect of a time. 'nly when
workers take control of the !nancial operations of their own companies, factories,
farms and mines and !elds of e$traction, can true fairness e$ist.
%1. 5he practices of consulting and educating can become the norms of economic
and developmental relation. 5oday, our dedicated !rms would imply that a
privileged few be creators, designing the systems that others should follow. @ut we
can all be of a creative class, contributing to and developing the systems of our
lives. We see wealthy owners who donate to charity while treasuring and protected
their established devices of e$ploitations. new generation of entrepreneurs
following the culture of open source can be magnanimous enough to allow their
creativity to be and we can bring an end to the petty contests of brands and makes.
'ur grocery and merchandi;ing systems, from our farms, and and factories of
production to the sites of e$change can be open sites of creative life. 'ur engineers
'pening our systems to revisions, our architecture, our clothing and material things,
all can be practices as forms of freedom and forms of art....
%%. 'ur news need to be authoritative accounts of arbitrarily speci!ed events of the
world. We know how what propaganda looks like. 6n our universe, there is always
more going on than can be known at a given time, more that is new, than can bereduced to snap=shot shows. Rather than restricting ourselves to the o)ciali;ed
formats, we can embrace the endless /ourishing cultures of independent media as
holding authority as high as any. 'ur entertainment, is news as much as reportage
of events( and we can break down the lines governing the creation of all media. We
can end the age of manufactured celebrity at the hands of producers( we can all be
actors in the highest strata of social life. What can be the distinction between self=
publishing and authori;ed publishing companies( what can be the line between
![Page 5: Towards a New World Order](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021117/56d6bf721a28ab3016964997/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

establishment cinema and independent cinema( they are arti!cial and will end. nd
if we sei;e the opportunity to remake our world, the news and media most relevant
to us may be the actual unfolding of events in our lives as vibrant and interesting as
anything on the earth.
%*. 5he internet, and the production of the machines which support it, can cease to
be an arena of pro!t schemes, manipulate advertisement and closed e$tractivecode( it can become a utility, as water and energy are, developed to create
wellbeing prosperity for our nations, a site of e$change of culture, information and
ideas. ll media is social media( we need forums for media which are developed and
supported for public interest rather than for pro!t and we can build them.
%+. 'ur hotels may be the sites where the people of a place welcome the visitors
and travellers of abroad. Rather than of professional courtesy, service and lu$ury,
they can be hubs of cultural life. 2ites of open meeting, learning and events, where
e$changes of language and thought are celebrated. city7s people, through its
hotels, should welcome it7s guests as friends welcoming friends, not as programmed
performers serving superiors at the command of their owners.
%. 'ur schools should be the hallmark sites of freedom, incubators of creative
thought( the spaces where those who dare to question the foundations of our
society can to a storm to the world. We should demand that our administrators
release their student bodies from the regulations of necessity. t universities
students should be free to leave any class which does not engage them at any time
of a year without consequence. 6n the /ows of knowledge, there should be no !$ed
division between the stature and authority of professors and the thoughts and
perspectives of students. 6n vocational as well as theoretical studies students can
be regarded as the fresh and critical minds which revise the authoritarian
instruction and assumptions of tradition.
%4. We must bring an end to culture of closed resources and "ournals. 5he wealth in
our universities is more than su)cient to create bodies of knowledge freely
accessible to all. We cannot abandon the institutions and certi!cations which
workplaces rely upon to ensure skill( however, we can loosen the reserves e$perts
hold on their knowledge and we can work towards education which is freely
available. 'ur medical doctors can serve not as the e$clusive holders of the
knowledge of the body, but as always educators as we move towards a society in
which all have the privilege to know about the functions of our selves. We must !ght
for the freedom of the use and knowledge of chemicals( their production should be
accountably regulated in our communities, however they should not be cast into
names of brands and reserved to behind closed walls. s we move towards a culture
of conscious and informed use of medication, we can end the arbitrary division ofchemicals which are legal and those which are not. 'ut lawyers, should also, be
always educators. s law is the language structures our lives and civil life,
knowledge of it7s contents should be not an esoteric study but a discourse open to
all people. @oth the internal policies of local organi;ations as well as the bodies of
legislation of provincial, state and national governments, should be opened to the
criticism and revision of the general public. 'ur "udges can aim not to condemn and
punish but the resolve and settle disputes. 0ay of the unfair laws, enabling
![Page 6: Towards a New World Order](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022021117/56d6bf721a28ab3016964997/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/towards-a-new-world-order 6/7
e$ploitation, entrenched by our governments must be overturned( when a people
demands such change, a democratic government should respond. 5a$ing can cease
to be a resented requirement and can become the voluntary practice by which we
contribute to our organi;ations of public service which need support their workers
and !nance their pro"ects( why should anyone contribute their means to an
organi;ation they do not support. 5his is vision of a giving and caring economy( it
can only begin with the !nances of the world today( when the health of our planet is
deteriorating and the poverty surrounding us is moments( we must demand the
local democratic control of public wealths which can enable us to create an
economy in which we care for each other. What need may we have for insurances(
we need not have a world of e$tractive companies feeding on personal an$ieties of
loss. s humans caring for each other, a good community can give assurance and
insurance to its member, the con!dence that people will support people in times of
hardship of di)culty, when they are unable to work themselves. 5hese measures
should not be strictly regulated practices, but voluntary caring for others.
%9. 'ur land can serve us "ust as we serve it. 6t is natural that we should !nd, in our
architectures, spaces of ownership. @uy why should a human ever use land toe$tract money from others, in leases and rentsB Will the unceded territories of
occupying forces ever be returned to a culture which can treats the earth with
respect( who runs our systems of energy out of concern for sustainable life not
money=making. Rather than command and bylaws dictating our from above, the
authority of ordinary persons, and most of all our capacity to always receive,
consider, and discuss opposing opinions of others can lead us to a state of freedom.
We must not support the era of bickering elected o)cials. 5here should be no lines
between the laws of governments which form the superstructure of society and the
laws of non=governmental organi;ations( those who work to enforce the letter of the
law as well as any of those to whom laws apply should always have the freedom to
e$press their dissent or criticism, and we can be a people in which disagreementsare always resolves, even if we can facilitate discussion, at the levels of religious
and metaphysical thought. ctivists for changes in the use of the earth should not
be annoyances to businesses advocating for government rule( we must confront the
rulers of businesses themselves and demand, not only the freedom to e$press
ourselves, but that our voices be considered and heard. 'ur opinions will not be
shut out because we are not hired members of an organi;ation, or elected members
of governments. We debate in which a winner is declared which can create the best
democracy, but of faith in the logic dialectic, the foundation of the democracies of
ancient greece( in which the reasoned and considered e$change of views leads
oppositional perspective to come to incorporate each other. 'ur decisions including
our budgeting or !nancial decisions can be made in this way. With such a practice,
we can all be as lawmakers, we can all be as presidents, ministers and sovereign
masters of our lives. 5hen our language can be a free music from birth to death.
We know that humanity has the potential to end human suering; we know have
the capacity to run our cities in service to the earth; we will not by bystanders to
the greed driving our empire to destruction. We can shit our gear, we can change
direction; we can end the illnesses o violence and hatred, we can be bold enough
to believe the revelation that a better world can come. We must rise up against the

despots playing god, like kings and queens in their rule over legions o workers, in
their games o control and manipulation. s collective people, as human tribe, we
can become the masters and creators o our lives.
!n our volatiles times, many premonitions o immanent new political orders have
emerged in the imagination. We must re"ect the anciul, the conspiratorial and the
dystopian. We can only accept a new world order which is owned and dreamed bythe people, which can bring liberty equality and solidarity or all; which can set the
world on fre.
