Laissez-faire capitalism has degenerated into corporate, transnational, casino capitalism, even fascism. Any totalitarian government of the present or past that has considered itself socialist or communist is not worthy of those names because true socialism or communism will always be democratic. Capitalism is based on production for private profit, and it is therefore inconceivable to have a compassionate capitalism. But a compassionate, democratic, egalitarian, and ecological socialism is our best choice if we consider the needs of the world and the Earth.
The challenge before us is to, not only make a psychological shift of consciousness from egotism to altruism, but also make a political shift from valuing nation-state aggrandizement to valuing world betterment and ecologically sustainable practices for the Earth. We are one world, one earth, and one humanity, and it is urgent that we realize this before it is too late.
Under the Earth Constitution, as mentioned above, every nation could still administer its own internal affairs. Some of my recent articles pertaining to this subject are "The Most Democratic Way to Have a Constitutional Convention," "If We Equally Divided the World's Wealth," New Culture, New Constitution, New Everything," and "15 Proposals that Could Make Our Nation and the World a Better Place."(Article changed on August 3, 2019 at 06:21)
