Click below to learn more about the core principles of Transformationism.
Universalism is the fundamental moral principle of the new Transformationist economics. It means that there should be no discriminatory barriers for access to human needs.
Most people are familiar with discrimination based on race and gender.
Transformationist Universalism extends the concept of discrimination to include economic discrimination. This means that with Transformationism no one will be excluded from social goods, such as housing or health care, based on your job or lack of wealth.
Transformationism also rejects nationalism. Transformational national governments will support their peoples by cooperating with other national governments to achieve the shared goals of health, well being, prosperity, stewardship and healing of nature, and happiness.
The surest way to deal with the polycrisis is to build homes, hospitals and schools all over the world, and to accelerate the clean energy transformation in all circles of human activity.
Who’s going to pay for it?
Transformationism is about dismantling the social capitalist order and replacing it with a new economics. The question of ‘who’s going to pay’ is irrelevant.
Human beings accomplish things with work. To build schools, hospitals and homes, we need engineers, builders and raw materials dug from the earth. To educate we need teachers. To farm we need growers. What we sure as hell don’t need is to be exploited by capitalists or communists, or to be forced into false competition and violent conflict by racist nationalists.
Too many humans are uneducated, underemployed, or working in redundant and unproductive industries that serve only to accumulate wealth for the rich.
With 8 billion people on the Earth and counting, we have more than enough amazing people to make this happen.
No mortgages, no credit cards, no car loans. No health insurance forms. No benefits forms. No need to worry about losing your home. About heating your home. About paying your rent. About affording food. About affording school supplies. About affording college. The only thing you need to qualify for a decent, humane standard of living is your humanity.
Social capitalism has brainwashed people to have a profound lack of faith in themselves. They think a humane economics is impossible.
That’s just what they want you to think. Fooling you into a life of suffering, anxiety and self-doubt is the only way they can maintain their privilege and continue to exploit you.
But guess what. You can have your cake and eat it too.
