René Polin's econology charter




by Christophe » 12/09/20, 18:32

It's not from me but it could have been, I don't have much to add to it!

A sustainable future

Any governance approach must be systemic and reveal the subordination of politics and economics with regard to respect and the future of the planet.

There is no political or economic without respecting the social.

I Energy

Any energy need must be based primarily on renewable sources. Patents and innovations are in the public domain.

II Economy

The creation of money should no longer depend on the private sector.

The currency can be combined with a local currency and promote local consumption.

The basic structure of the economy must be essentially cooperative.

The function of the economy is to promote the social. It is at the service of man and protects the environment.

A basic income comes from the new economic system.

Speculation, trusts and lobbies are outlawed.

Respect for common goods is once again the norm.

The basic unit of international trade is the sovereign nation.

III Production

Production promotes the circular economy, recycling and local production, and goods without planned obsolescence.

Any polluting industrial production falls within the scope of the law.

All agricultural production must turn to means other than toxic chemical pollutants.

Lobbies are declared illegal.

All world research must turn to new production methods, both industrial and agricultural.

Innovative patents are in the public domain and cannot be privately owned.

IV Transport

All production must be done as much as possible by limiting unnecessary transport.

Any necessary transport must be the least energy consuming individually and collectively.

V The political

The state is sovereign insofar as it exists by the will of the people.

The republican state is secular: religions are of the order of individual consciences.

The critical spirit of the citizen is the foundation of democracy.

Representative democracy is insufficient.

At all levels of society there must be forms of participatory democracy.

The constitution must be rewritten with the help of the people. The constituent is the ideal way.

The elected deputies will have an imperative mandate: its legitimacy comes from the fact that it primarily brings the interests of its region to the national assembly.

For questions concerning the legislative of national interest he can vote with his party.

Major national questions can be voted on by the people.

The eco-citizen in his municipality will be able to exercise a right of control or suggestion included in the code of territorialities.

Intercommunality is subject to the control of the municipalities.

Separation of powers and competences of the central state will be renovated.

Central governance, relayed locally will have as constant objectives the
health, culture and education.

Traditional and artisanal trades will be protected, the transmission of know-how being a priority.

Conclusion

From local circle to regional circle to national circle, then continental and global, the governance in place will be based on the guarantee of this charter for the future.

The advantage of a charter is that it solemnly records desirable developments, which were in fact in the making for more or less long time. They are part of sometimes secular traditions of acquired wisdom. They impose themselves on the following generations until, following their own experience, they feel the need to make them evolve. They finally warn against the often dangerous idea of ​​wiping out the past. In the context of the current dominant liberal-totalitarianism, they intend to protect against financial and industrial predations.

The idea of ​​a charter is not new, of course, but it has the advantage of being a concentrate that can constantly recall the essential.

Placed at the head of the specifications for each third of the Economic Triptych, a concise charter would recall the essentials at each consultation.

In the political paragraph, AMHA things are missing ... so as not to fall back into the same power biases as before.
"Representative democracy is insufficient"should be replaced by" is to be re-invented ".

History has shown nothing but ugly caricatures of "representative democracy" absolutely not representative of the people but made up of the powerful / rich working for the interests of their caste and their re-election above all else.

Elected officials must be incorruptible (before, during and after their mandate by strict control of their income, assets, that of their relatives, lifestyle, gifts, etc.)
Citizens can only be eligible if they can prove that they are not compromised in relation to the usual "petty theft" of our policies: insider trading, abuse of social good, abuse of power simply, convicted persons , owner of accounts in tax havens, electoral fraud, general fraud, resorting to money laundering and other tax concealment etc ...).
The elected representatives must be drawn by lot from a pool of volunteer citizens and armed with real diverse skills, social, human etc ...
In no case can elected officials change the law, tamper with electoral rules, amnesty for anything, and are responsible for their actions before the law like all other citizens.
They are all revocable by the assembly.
Once this non-exhaustive filtering has been carried out, we must be able to build a better world away from men / women infected with power and money.

I am for the drawing of lots of volunteers with training of 1 or 2 years (for example) according to the mandates concerned.

Iceland has been practicing participatory democracy since 2010-2011 ... established at the same time as they put certain bankers in jail ...

But we don't run a country of a few hundred thousand inhabitants like a country of several tens of millions ...

In any case, it should be inspired ...

Moralize political life? If possible, why not? However, this will in no way resolve the structural causes whose consequences this project wants to eliminate. However, new "virtuous" leaders would continue in the same direction. It is not with wishful thinking, however respectable it may be, that this will be achieved, and if conditioning the economy for the sole benefit of humans is laudable (and even the sole decisive goal), it cannot however be achieved. to do as long as our existence will be subordinated to a few algorithms working in secret and which constitute the blind part of the functioning of our society.

An assembly seems to me more suitable, objective to avoid dealing with the particular case which arranges the elected representative for himself, and to deal with the general case debated by the greatest number for the greatest number.

Ahmed, can you develop a little bit?

@ Flytox:
Our civilization puts forward a rationality which is only apparent, or if you prefer, which is limited to that of the means. As for what moves her in depth, there are some simple algorithms of which she is oblivious. Men are the agents of function and not the subjects of history; in the course of successive civilizations, they have always conformed to fetishes, that is to say representations that they themselves had created and which, being perceived as external (hypostasis) imposed on their will. Ours is no exception and its fetish is the "market" or rather abstract value (depending on the angle of analysis). It is therefore the abstract value which is the subject-automaton, the expression is Marx, and which subordinates everything to its requirements of infinite accumulation ... Only human activity directed consciously and collectively towards its own finality could break this vicious cycle which binds men together and destroys non-human beings (which links social crisis and environmental).
Behind the abstract value, which is specific to our time (it is a necessity to go beyond Marx!), it must be understood that a more fundamental determinism is expressed which is that of the maximum dissipation of energy: I advise you, if you have not already done so in due time, to refer to the thread devoted to F Roddier (unfortunately interrupted due to the failure of the author).
