PRESS RELEASE:
Proposed ‘Equitarian’
Constitutional Reform --
GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.
Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica [F.E.D.],
in alliance with the Equitist Advocacy group, have today issued the attached
proposed PREAMBLE, together with our latest draft of an
economic-democratic, ECONOMIC checks and balances instituting, statute
for democratic political-economic governance.
We propose that this statute be incorporated into the U.S.
Constitution, so that it can be amended only by the same process required to
amend that Constitution, and/or
its Bill Of Rights, and not merely by a simple majority vote in Congress.
The intent of these documents is to establish a Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY in the United States of America, including so
as to reverse the present, accelerating drive toward police-state,
totalitarian, “Eugenics” [‘humanocidal’] dictatorships, in said United States
of America, and world wide.
These texts are designed as instruments in support of a
massive, grass roots, democratic
populist movement, in the U.S., and world wide, without which no such
‘social-revolutionary reforms’ can possibly be instituted.
These texts are designed to help such a real movement -- a
movement to defeat the ruling-class financed and formulated right-wing
[e.g., fascist],
fraudulent, pseudo-populist ideologies now being spread rapidly, by
that ruling class, in the United States, and
throughout the European Union, to name only two loci of this contagion.
The ruling plutocracy is recoiling in fear from the growing
signs of popular, anti-Wall-Street, anti-“Billionaire-Class” unrest, including
the unprecedented primary election successes of Bernie Sanders, a self-avowed
“socialist”, and even from the national-electoral success of the [likely only populism-feigning] Donald
Trump.
This ruling-class’s rapid spread of these racist [e.g., fascist], fraudulent, pseudo-populist ideologies is looking successful, in
part, for wont of any detailed
alternative to the Orwellian, state-capitalist, police-state, totalitarian, “Eugenics” [targeting 90+ % global population extermination*]
dictatorships that the ruling plutocracy is preparing, globally.
Critics of our ever-worsening capitalist status quo,
who say they want to replace ‘descendent-phase’ capitalism with a better
socio-political-economic system, are classically confronted -- and rightly so -- with the
refrain: “We’d all love to see the plans”.
The “plans” of
F.E.D., and of the Equitist
Advocacy group, for what we hold to be a far better socio-politico-economic
system, are now there for all to see,
in detail, see ‘Draft of Proposed
Amendatory Annex to the U.S. Constitution’, at --
http://www.dialectics.info/dialectics/Applications.html.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
*[The plutocracy’s
plans for 90+ % global ‘humanocide’ have been stated publicly, again and
again, by both key perpetrators of the plutocracy itself, and by their ‘spokes-servants’. For a selection from these public statements,
see the 4/11/2013 posting at --
However, we do not see these, draft, plans as finished, or
final.
We hold that no small minority, such as ourselves, can craft
plans adequate to the growing diversity of Terran humanity as a whole.
We call upon you to critique, and to suggest improvements
to, these texts, linked-to herein.
We will be only too happy to incorporate any and all
improvements that you offer, and that we too see as improvements, into the
planned later drafts of these ‘amendatory’ and ‘implementary’ documents.
Moreover, you should feel free to use some or

Summary descriptions of the newly-discerned
fundamental human rights -- as
also new constitutional
rights -- grounding these proposed ‘equitarian
revolutionary reforms’, can be found via the
following link --
These proposed
‘‘‘reforms’’’ are also ‘‘‘revolutionary’’’, but not in the sense of some kind of
civil violence -- which is all that the ruling plutocracy ever wants you to
associate with the term “social revolution”.
These ‘‘‘reforms’’’
are also ‘social-revolutionary’ in that, if they are implemented, they will
change the fundamental ‘social relation
of the societal reproduction of our society’.
That ‘fundamental
social relation’, is today, the ‘capital/wage-labor’, or
‘capital/salaried-labor’, relationship.
Under the rules of
that relationship, the accumulating wealth-creating work-power and work-product
of the wage-labor/salaried-labor majority is funneled into the ownership of an
ever tinier minority of ever-more concentrated owners of capital, and, hence, ever-more
concentrated owners of money, who buy that accumulating, ever-expanding wealth creation
in return for just enough money, or, increasingly, not even enough money, for that
majority to eke out a bare subsistence -- increasingly, not even enough to
secure a decent life for themselves, let alone for their children.
That
concentrated-ownership class thereby also acquires sufficient money wealth to “buy
out”, lock, stock, and barrel, all three branches of, formerly “democratic”,
political government, thereby obviating and circumventing the checks and
balances -- essential to the maintenance of any degree of political democracy --
among the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches of political
government.
When those three
branches all respond, dutifully, to their single “owner”, the former checks and
balances among them cease to exist.
The houses of
legislature become houses of prostitution, their legislators whores to the “Big
Money” lobbyists.
The executive branch
comes to be led by a succession of individuals who are able to win election
only through the funding of their campaigns by “Big Money”, and who, hence, are
“deeply beholden” to “Big Money”.
Appointments to the
judiciary by these executives come to reflect that ‘beholden-ness’, so that the
courts, instead of meting out justice, and checking abuses of legislature and
executive power, mete out the policy preferences of the concentrated ownership
class, detrimental to the majority, and ratify those abuses of power.
None of this can get
any better -- all of this will only continue to get worse -- unless there is a
shift of power, back from the tiny minority that is the concentrated ownership
class, to the majority working/middle class.
But that shift of
power cannot suffice or sustain as a shift of political power only.
The ruling
plutocracy has locked-up politics.
That plutocracy “owns”
the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary branches of political
government.
It has used its economic power to gain predominant political power.
It has translated its concentrated economic power into concentrated political power as well, subverting all of the
institutions of a free and democratic society.
We see only one
positive solution. The working/middle
class must leverage its remnant political power, its majoritarian power, its power of numbers, to implement a sustained
shift in economic power, back towards itself. It
must institute a system of new, economic checks and balances. Those economic checks and balances, and the accompanying
shifts in economic power, back toward the majority class, can then resuscitate the
presently-moribund political checks and balances as well.
We propose to
accomplish this by widening the social discernment of three additional
fundamental human rights, to the point of constitutionally recognizing and
implementing those three fundamental rights.
Human rights, and
human liberties, are those principles of political, economic, and social
conduct which, when implemented, militate against otherwise systematic
injustice, and enable the life of the majority of citizens to thrive.
What fundamental
human rights are unobserved, missing, honored mainly in the breach, in our
present, capital-owners-centric society?
First, our
late-capitalist society is dense and bursting with “external costs” production
-- with the production of pollution and other “externalities” by capitalist
enterprises -- the production of damages to “third parties”, who are neither
owners, nor customers of those enterprises, damages generated by the
unregulated operation of those enterprises.
Citizens can no
longer protect themselves, their neighborhoods, or their children, from
increasingly toxic, deadly pollution.
Regulation of such pollution production via central, bureaucratic
agencies leads to the buyout and “capture” of those regulatory agencies by
those that they are supposed to regulate.
Such agencies are
“bought out” by “the usual suspects”.
The agents of those agencies end up, after a few years of agency
“service”, in “cush” jobs with those they were supposed to have regulated, in
return for not having done so.
Citizens can no
longer afford the costs of suing these polluting enterprises in civil court,
and, moreover, the civil court “justices” are increasingly beholden to the
polluters, appointed, indirectly, by them -- i.e., directly by the executive
branch that those polluters also “own”.
The majority of
citizens need a new, democratic, grass roots way to regulate and reduce such
“externalities”.
Implementation of
the ‘Citizen Externality Equity’ human right is designed to replace corrupt bureaucratic regulation, and
corrupt civil court litigation, with grass roots regulation. For
more regarding this human right, see Sections 2 and 3, in ‘Draft of
Proposed ‘Amendatory Annex’ to the U. S. Constitution’,
at -- http://www.dialectics.info/dialectics/Applications.html .
Working/middle class
citizens are, increasingly, abjectly dependent upon capitalist employers, not
only for monetary income by wage or salary, but for health care, and for
retirement savings. These same employers
ever seek ever new ways to sever these citizens’ employment -- to lay them off
-- whether buy automation, or by shipping their jobs to low-wage ‘servant-dictatorships’,
also “owned” by the plutocracy, where workers’ efforts to form unions to help
raise their wages are met with murder at the hands of police-state
death-squads.
Recurring “great recessions”, of
increasing global severity, recurrently release legions of workers into low-income
or no-income unemployment. The unions
that, e.g., in the United States, once provided collective defense for the
working/middle class, against employer abuse, have mostly been destroyed here
as well.
To thrive, working/middle
class citizens need a new source of economic strength, to bolster them in their
fight against this global “race to the bottom” in terms of wages/salaries, and
working conditions.
Implementation of
the ‘Citizen Birthright Equity’ human right is designed to install a fully-portable personal social
safety net, not tied to any employer; an individual trust fund, for every
citizen. For more regarding this human
right, see Section 4, in ‘Draft of Proposed ‘Amendatory Annex’ to the U.
S. Constitution’,
at -- http://www.dialectics.info/dialectics/Applications.html .
The employers of the
concentrated ownership class own the money that now “owns” the political
government -- all three branches -- lock, stock, and barrel.
To thrive, or even
to survive, the working/middle class majority needs a shift of economic power back to itself, so that they will have
the financial wherewithal to begin to be able, again, to sustain a political fight against the growing dictatorship of
the ruling plutocracy, if not to outlaw outright the ‘legalized bribery’ of today’s lobbying and “campaign finance reform”. The working class needs to gain a share of
what it produces, beyond merely the equivalent of its costs of bare subsistence
-- in the form of, secularly falling, in real terms, salaries and wages -- if
it is to have a chance at a decent standard of living, the “free time” to
participate in civic, political life, and if its is to stand a chance against
the concentrated wealth of the concentrated ownership class.
Implementation
of the ‘Citizen Stewardship
Equity’ human right is designed to enable ‘collective entrepreneurship’. It is
designed to do so in the form of markets-competing ‘socialized
producers’ cooperatives’, and of competing ‘social banks’ that provide means of production
‘‘‘stewardship’’’ to statutorily qualified entrepreneurial collectives that at
least one such ‘social bank’ is willing to bet on, via ‘socialized venture
capital’, such that the producer-members, or ‘citizen stewards’, of these
democratically self-managed producers’ cooperatives, are compensated both for
time worked, and with an equal share of the operating surplus of their
cooperative. For more regarding this
human right, see Section 5, in ‘Draft of Proposed ‘Amendatory Annex’ to
the U. S. Constitution’,
at -- http://www.dialectics.info/dialectics/Applications.html .
We propose the
constitutional establishment of these three human rights, as extensions of the
capital equity, “stockholder
democracy” principle to principles of non-capital-owner, non-stockholder
‘stakeholder democracy’, and as extensions of the “equitable jurisprudence”
principles of the Anglo-American legal tradition, to institute constitutional economic checks and balances that will also revive
the moribund political checks and balances of the U. S. Constitution. Thereby, the growing extra-constitutional
dictatorship of the ruling plutocracy can be blocked, and the polity of the
United States of America can move to that of a Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY.
