All transformations are changes, but not all changes are transformations.
Transformation is a special case of change. It is profound, dramatic—awe-inspiring. Like the vivid transformation of a dark sky when lightning strikes, the blanketed silent land after a snowfall… like falling asleep in Kansas and waking up in Oz.
It’s what we need.
We need a new skyline, a new horizon of possibilities, to wake up in a new world that is stunningly different from the demoralizing hellscape of social capitalism. We need a complete Transformation of our economics and politics.
And we need YOU to hop on.
Right Now.
Stop trying to ‘change’ the world. The Left is finished.
Change is barely noticeable. Like watching paint dry. The deterioration of main street. Ecological destruction. Soil depletion. PFAs worming their way into sperm and ovaries. It happens without you even noticing.
Change – more pertinently the (deliberate) illusion of change – is the enduring mentality of capitalism and its dirty bedfellow, socialism.
Increasing and decreasing taxes, fiddling with interest rates, investing here or there in this or that, public spending, quantitative easing, austerity, tariffs. An endless revolving door of crisis, conflict and policy failure.
Mere change isn’t good enough anymore. It’s too late for change.
If you’re sitting around thinking things will get better if you vote left instead of right, or right instead of left, or tax the rich more, or tax the rich less, invest in gold or bonds or property, or do literally nothing and wait patiently for capitalism to ‘work’ and the prosperity to trickle down into your bank account, you have another think coming my friend.
Social capitalism doesn’t change things for the better. We all know it – EVERYTHING is getting worse for almost everyone, and it’s going to get a lot worse before the final curtain falls.
That’s because our economic system works only to make a small minority of people rich. That’s all it’s ever been good at and policy makers (the conservative LRPS who want to keep things the same) on all sides don’t seem to care, and even if their claims to care were true, they have NO IDEA how to create general prosperity. That much, at least, should be obvious to even the most ignorant fuck-wit out there.
We’re a growing and changing species in an ever-changing world with new challenges for every generation. We need transformational economics and politics that is capable of novelty and invention and works FOR EVERYONE.
Outta Time
We’re out of time. We must erase capitalism from existence before it wrecks the biosphere. We must permanently derail the profit motive, axe taxes, shed all debt and extirpate exploitation before we’re dragged into another heinous and pointless war.
We need responsible governments and goods that are there for us when we need them, not in some deranged fantasy-land where capitalism and socialism magically stop destroying everything and start working.
But this isn’t revolution or communism. This is a complete shift away from monetarism. There’s more than one way to skin a cat.
Democracy is our most powerful transformative tool. It’s how law gets written – and unwritten. With informed electoral consent, Transformationism will put a long-overdue torch to capitalist economic law and start again from Chapter 1 of an epic re-write—the story of the Greatest Economic Transformation in the History of Our Mother Earth. (GET HOME).
Step 1
The first stage of the Transformationist agenda is so far from right, it’s not even left. We aren’t going tax the rich. We’re simply going to take their wealth in a massive historic asset transfer. And we’ll sweeten that deal for ourselves, the ordinary people – that’s you – by erasing all income tax below a $500,000 household income threshold (a temporary measure prior to abolishing all personal income taxation), imposing a wealth cap, gradually eliminating all personal and mortgage debt systems, immediately terminating all student debt and the student loans system, and eliminating health insurance. Health and education will be nationalized and globalized. Home ownership will not be derived from debt.
Government bonds – little more than handouts for the rich – will be scrapped. The investment system – little more than a way of earning without merit – will be scrapped.
If you’re worried about hyper-inflation caused by an influx of money into people’s pockets, I will provide a more thorough accounting eventually. I know how this dysfunctional economy ‘works’. Do you, though?
In time, we’ll recover all morally misappropriated land, money and assets currently being hoarded by the rich, democratize those resources and use them to commence work on the universal clean energy/industry, health, education, housing and agricultural Transformation.
This includes their physical assets, like land, resources, oversized properties they don’t reside in, jets, luxury yachts, large vehicle collections and monetary assets – actual money, as well as investment assets.
We are going to systematically dismantle obscene privilege within the foreseeable future, even monarchies, my friend – they’re some of the worst. They can get jobs like everyone else.
Step 2
The second stage will see the implementation of the new economics.
Ownership, power and resources will be legally restored to you and your communities, where it belongs.
Ownership of all rented properties will be transferred to occupants mortgage free. Non-local corporate entities will be progressively dissolved and ownership of all businesses distributed locally.
The profit-tax-benefit-insurance-investment-banking-scam system will be progressively and globally dissolved. The monetary system will be replaced.
This will render useless any attempt by the obscenely wealthy to hide their money. Their money will be meaningless and worthless because the economy in which it had value will no longer exist.
We need economic activity that actually improves global quality of life. And we need this done within two generations – before they damage the biosphere beyond repair and use AI surveillance and weaponry to enslave the entire species.
You can bet they’re working on it right now, so best you not sit on your hands any longer, my friend.
