Six months ago, Anne Ndarua’s only son went to Russia on the promise of a job as an electrical engineer. She says he was forced into military training and she no longer knows if he’s alive.
Just when I thought the news couldn’t get any worse.
No more billionaires, or millioniares even. Put a world wide (I know) wealth cap at, say, 1 million. Any income (or wealth) over that goes straight to taxes. The poor pay no taxes. Governments get enough income to cover free healthcare, free education, UBI. Everybody is more or less the same richness
With that, power dynamics already become much less important. If nobody can hoard money (the inevitable root of power) nobody can get crazy rich
Break up all the current super powers (plus israel for being the biggest dick in the world right now) into smaller states. Have all states in the world join the UN and give the UN an army that is controlled by no single country, its controlled by all countries. It’s only missions should be peace, stability, and democracy
This sounds like communism. The problem is that the enforcer is vulnerable. They have far too much power themselves, being able to distribute wealth as such.
You need a system that just works that way. Not something that needs to be enforced. Like how you need more and more energy to get mass to the speed of light, up to infinite energy to go exactly at c. IMO, the best system would work like this, but in a way of preserving power to the masses of people in a more socialist-democratic kind of way.
The workers should own the means of production. There should be collectives of people everywhere, like some kind of federated society. And somehow, in some magic fucking way, all of this needs to work together without maintenance. That’s my personal opinion.
The problem is, I don’t think we’ve ever designed a society that is supposed to “work like gravity.” Not even sure where to begin, to be honest.

Those points should bring the world there.
