RE: Demand Your Basic Human Rights

in #life7 years ago

I have a slightly different take on this based on Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Humanities basic needs of housing, food, education, and health-care should not be open to unnecessary​ exploitation and coercion via the capitalist system.
I call these The Four Pillars of​ humanities basic needs. They could be met by socializing the creation of money and distributing it evenly to all at creation and not as debt. This would be a 'public service utility currency' or something like that.
The education system would be geared towards human potential and mastery.....We would need to overthrow the cynical misanthropic mafia oligarchs of the present fiat system, though, so it will not be easy especially when they are capable of doing what they did on 911 with all the concomitant horrors......
Capitalism would still exist but not within The Four Pillars. It would exist beyond those and geared towards mastery and solving intractable problems.....

I agree completely with these basic Human Rights. In this post, however, I was exploring and reminding of the Human Rights which we sometimes overlook. They are just as important. Without love, for instance, or freedom, the food is bland, the house empty and sad, and the education almost useless.
