In terms of our society and our nation and our people, the Human species, we need a new direction.
Of course, we need order, efficiency, and stability; but we need also new ideas.
It is my opinion that democracy has got it only half-right....but it isn't perfect. Constitutional democracies are inefficient, and this is a problem for order.
People forget that nations are made up of people; governments are for people. Their will and their desires come first, and their needs of course, and government should be the system that addresses these needs and desires. Efficiently*(key word)
We spend so much time bickering on silly things; if we truly act, we can achieve anything. All we need is willpower.
Another problem is 'freedom'. I know, I know, "how can freedom be bad?"
It isn't bad, but the way it is treated in America, for instance, is. There needs to be freedom for ideas and for individuals, of course, otherwise the people are only slaves and the nation is pointless.
However, freedom is misused. We are far too concerned with "protecting rights" in America that we never get anything done. We can protect rights and still be efficient.
One MAJOR problem is the way government, and therefore freedom, is treated; people have a "them and us" mentality. Remember, you put your government in power!
And now I will get to the meat of this topic: 'government' and its role in Humanity.
When we are discussing individuals, we are discussing people; we can't simply describe people in a few words. Each and every individual is a nation unto themselves; each with their own ideas, their own lifestyles, their own friends, families, likes and dislikes, etc. And that's great. But what unifies individuals? What makes them come together?
Common will. We live in a society in order to support and work for each other. Every individual's duty is to serve, not necessarily their "nation" in the sense of government, but their nation in the sense of their fellow Human beings. And I came up with a saying for this, " Only if you provide for society will society provide for you"
What we need isn't to waste time on nonsense or protect empty concepts, like 'freedom'. What we need is willpower. And efficiency.
Now as I've said, I'm not anti freedom. In fact without freedom there would be no need for efficiency; it is precisely because of freedom that we need efficiency. Otherwise this freedom of will is irrelevant and empty.
And I have a plan for this; now, some of this might be "intrusion of privacy" but remember, the government is the people! All are one! Unity! Therefore it benefits one and benefits all!
Now here's my great plan
Firstly, we need organization and order. Structure. We need national ID's, we need CCTV cameras, etc, to protect our society
Most importantly, we need to make every individual count. We need to organize, not necessarily what lifestyles we live, but how we go about living them. i.e, we can enjoy our lives and let others do the same, but we need a common ground and common will. We need to remember our duty to our people.
This voice, however, is meaningless without the efficiency to act on it; therefore, we need a powerful central democratic totalitarian government to enact the will of the people. This government should serve the people first, and should be decided by the people, for the people.
In this aspect, it is democratic. However, it should also have the absolute power necessary to actually, you know, GET STUFF DONE! Willpower first.
We can protect rights and all, but we need to focus on ourselves as a whole, and our voice through efficient government is a great way to do this.
We need to protect from corruption; we need stronger police, qualified police, to serve the people, not just in policing but in community tasks and needs.
We need all citizens to support one another; the purpose of a nation is to socially unify a population, not just economically. We need all citizens to work for one cause, one dream, and one willpower.
Governments with absolute power means the people have absolute power! Or at least, that is what potential exists there. Therefore it is not necessarily bad; we need to limit who gets into power, not the power itself; the people should also play a major role in the power. Guidance is needed.
We need to all give our fair share.
Government needs to provide for the people their basic necessities; i.e, ensure their welfare. Provide education and healthcare, and give them what they want.
Localization! Let me say it again, localization!
Absolute localized governments. Centralization is important on the majority aspect, to provide services and protect the population as a whole, but localization can work well for different areas that may have different kinds of people. Give them the efficiency to shape their own desires. No "constitution"! Totalitarian democracy. The will of the people. The people should not limit themselves as to their potential.
What we need more than anything, however, is a common will to rally behind. We need to be united, as one, to work as one. And we need the efficiency to do this.
We can be unique individuals, but ultimately we need some uniting factor that we all work for, and benefit from.
Of course, we need order, efficiency, and stability; but we need also new ideas.
