3.1 Sanitary living conditions

Desire brings upon suffering and the extreme yogi would starve in pursuit of enlightenment, however this is not the path for the many. We have seen the great west prevail in an ideological conflict that spanned seven decades. We now have the task of formulating and summoning adherence a social contract binding the world over. In our search for the global peace, a place where the free market can operate without hindrance, we need to iron out the indifference held by a small portion of society. There are inevitably some losers of the capitalistic system. There was bound to be. Some people gamble their left savings on a brilliant idea. Some people lose their job in the downsizing of western labor markets and increase in global outsourcing. Whatever the case may be, there has to be a basic sustenance allowance in place for those dire straits. Enough to cover a modest rental, some food, drink and a means, an opportunity to have a new start. Maybe some TAFE or university for those battling and willing to give it a go. Capitalism and communism have been in battle for long enough. It is time to disarm and negotiate.

We are able to have a free country, free from Imperial ties and free from oppression with the liberties of speech, religion and market, while still ensuring some basic human dignity. There is no need to beg, steal or kill. State intervention to supply to those who are really disadvantaged and unable to compete without a helping hand. The promise of endless support does in fact take away any little motivation to work and compete in the rat race, however a little bit of tax money directed at those who have been left to fester in the gutters world as a long way in preserving the security of those who are able. In the pursuit of greatest happiness for greatest number, we have to ensure that those that are unable to compete in a free market have the right, the basic human right of sustenance. No matter how much we try to limit our desire in the philosophy of right thought; right action, every human in the world, including those in Nairobi and Bombay, deserve to receive their basic sustenance. Following Buddhist philosophy of right thought right action, it is only right to endeavor to tax the rich and give out a basic sustenance to those that are disadvantaged.

3.2 Security and peace

We need social contract.   Many a philosopher discussed social contract, the need to submit our sovereignty for security.   Without social contract, we are left in the state of nature, where every man for himself.   A jungle with no law.   A jungle where there are no comforts and man fight like beast over trifling matters.   We need the right to sleep at night in peace without trespass by neighbor or state.   We need to be able to conduct daily business of contributing to the economy and consumption without fear of trespass by neighbor or state.   For this security and peace, we all need to submit our individual sovereignty and adhere to global social contract.   Thou shall not kill has already been discussed earlier as a basic law.   No war is just.   Whether it be or not a legitimate reason behind the conflict, conflict by means of weapons, and resulting in death is unacceptable.   Whether it be a petty drug deal gone wrong or a religious conflict or a political ideological debate turned wrong, violence is not the answer.   As the legendary Gandhi preached non-violence and resolved a major problem of imperial rule that lasted for centuries, the core valve of this dissertation is adherence of a strict policy of non-violence.

Everyone has the freedom to follow whichever religion they wish and enjoy their freedom of speech.   The philosophy of right thought and right action is the basis of creating the rules considered appropriate by general consensus.   I will not spell out each and every law applicable to establish social contract.   That can be up to the elders of our civilization to discuss, debate and vote for the rest of the lay what is deemed acceptable.   It will be democratic.   As there are inadequacies by a certain percent of the population to be able to reason, not all members of society will vote.   However the selected ministers of each constituent will have a team of council representatives to liaise with the community and recommend on suitable laws that are appropriate for the given situation and conditions of that time and place, giving utmost importance to preserve culture of indigenous and ethnic groups.   This is the way of life.   There has to be a little give and a little take.   A slight compliance to a reasonable condition to enjoy the luxurious available from all over the globe for everyone in the world.   Submit individual sovereignty of trespass upon another and enjoy the right of security from trespass by another.

3.3 Economics

Organization has separated our people for generations now.   Since the beginning of time, we would have had conflict within social relations due to the problem of sharing.   Sharing the catch of the day is difficult, when there is little to go around.   It is evident within the junkees of the ghettos when they share drugs.   It is also evident within large families.   It is also evident with interstate relations on a global scale.   The problem of receiving a fair share in return.   There is scarcity and hence the problems of not having enough to go around for everyone and the problem of not receiving ones fair share.   There is scarcity in economics and it is true tat it is difficult to accommodate everyone needs, however with the wonders of industrialization and the digital revolution, we have with us the sciences that can help manage the demand and supply.   It is as simple as a spreadsheet and a database application.   Introduce an identity card system that can monitor all demand and supply of the individual and we have a means to supply to the demand of the entire population.   We already have paypal, escrow and visa paypass.   We have the means.

3.4 Neoliberalism

With seven billion people we need some forms of managing the demand and supply.   We have seven billion people with the basic needs for shelter and food.   With the requirement of shelter comes the liberty of privacy and the right to own property.   There are economics ideologies that profess communal ownership, however there are problems that arise from that as well.   This dissertation asserts that there is a need for the basic liberty of private property.   The analysis has been done and Australia with its’ private property and government housing for those that are unable provides the best means to organize property.   Given, there are the problems of landlords and tenants for those who are unable to afford property and given, there is the problem of loans from banks and other private lenders for the twenty five year mortgage which brings about the problem of interest, capital gains and inflation, however the people of western states who own and rent property are generally wealthier and happier.   There is no easy solution to the problems of organization, however we have lessons from history and neoliberalism has come out the winner

As the two extreme ideologies of communism and capitalism have been in battle for the last century with a conflict of arms at every turn, the leaders of tomorrow, the young adults of today have to congregate and devise a solution to our problems of organization.  The solution to our dilemma comes with the Buddhist philosophy of the middle path.  We have to take the benefits of each ideology and meet in the middle.  We will concede private property.  However I believe that the government should hold onto and manage some essential services like road, rail, electricity, gas and water.  Yes, we believe free markets of the west will foster innovation and deliver better services with competition, however essential utilities and services like health and education ought to remain within government control.  Australia with its neoliberal philosophies has proven to be the richest and happiest state in the present day world.   Holding healthcare and education in the government hands ensures that the population is healthy and educated, leading to a happier people.   Even though essential utilities ought to be state controlled, the people will have the choice in the market place.  The freedom to go the supermarket and choose what to eat, drink and wear will be held with the utmost respect.

3.5 Democratic

The best regime has been discussed by many a philosopher and each system has its merits.  Even though the media showcases the English Prince and Princess trotting around the globe with fans all over the world, not many people favor monarchies.  Monarchies have existed in the past.  There was no better way in the past.  Feudal monarchies take what they want and reign with the iron fist.  Not that there is anything wrong with the iron fist, however there needs to be a little compassion.  It is not fair to live in castles, dining on lobster and wine, while the general population have no access to a basic shelter with sanitary plumbing.  History shows that the British subjects were eating porridge three times a day, if they were lucky, while the British Queen would trot around the globe pillaging from each nation.  It is not fair.  Nobody votes in a monarch.  They fight and take the throne.  Most of the monarchies have been torn down for the better.  Then there’s the problem of the dictator.  A dictator is no different to a king.  A king will design a fancy constitution to hide his power, however there is no difference between a monarchy and dictatorship.

The people do not choose a king or a dictator.   By aggressive means, they take power.   This would not be such a bad idea, however history shows that dictators and Kings are not fair and do not rule with love.   They are driven by greed and power and they can never have enough.   Hobbes asserts that a monarchy is the best regime, and I would be a fit King as I believe I would rule with the heart, however will concede my Kingdom to democratic rule.   Let the people choose their leadership.   Western democracies have proved to be wealthier and happier.   Therefore this dissertation advocates for democratic rule.   There is the problem that the people are not able to make decision or every matter on the table.   The idea of the referendum on important issues is a good idea.  Protests on government action are deemed appropriate as a non-violent means of voicing an opinion.   And the local council members ought to open their doors to their people to voice their opinion.   This dissertation provides an overview of the best regime, however the fine details of the checks and balances to avoid corruption and power blocs will be left to the chosen government to decide upon.

3.6 Federation

Conflict is inherent in social relations.   As we endeavor to enjoy the riches of the globe, we encounter conflict.   There are problems with trade on a global scale.   It would be nice to be able to enjoy the riches of the globe without any interference.   This dissertation advocates for free trade globally.   In order to practice global free trade, there a few problems that have to be ironed out.   This is only possible with a federation of individual states.   A submission of state sovereignty is essential to a lasting peace where we are able to share regional luxuries.   There are the problems of economic and religion that have been addressed already, however need reiteration.   Law and order of social contact is vital.   The people shall be heard and the government ought to be tolerant.   There shall be various cultures and we by no means intend to diminish local cultures and homogenize.   Greater diversity in culture brings about greater choice of luxuries around the globe.   There ought to be free choice of religion, as long as id does not interfere with the liberties of another being, including beast.   As for economic organization, the world federated government ought to be tolerant and allow for extreme ideologies to be practiced regionally, as the correct path is still unknown!

The main goal of the world federation is to control all arms.   To control all conflict with one army.   One defense force across the globe.   One police force across the globe.   All conflict ought to be managed by the world federation.   Many a philosopher have discussed social contract and a global social contract is taking that concept one step further in this globalized world.   We all want peace.   We all want happiness.   In order to achieve this happiness in peace, we all need some sort of sense of security.   This can only be achieved with a world federation.   A world police who can intervene in any conflict around the globe to maintain peace.   There ought to be an international court of justice to preside over global interstate affairs.   History has shown that interstate relations always end in conflict.   There are a number of factors, apart from economics and religions that affect interstate relations and have been addressed in other articles.   A general analysis of world affairs shows that democracy is vital in avoiding conflict.   The people need to choose what is best for them.   After the circulation of this dissertation, these ought to be a global referendum for a non-violent revolution of a new world order!

3.7 Justice

Justice has also been discussed by many a philosopher.   Every state has some form of law and order designed to deliver justice.   With the diversity of culture across the globe, there are various forms of justice in play.   Some take justice into their own hands and that is wrong.  Right and wrong is debatable and ought to be decided by the people in a democratic world.   As we are recommending a democratic world federation, the people ought to decide on what forms of justice they wish.   As there is divine justice evident in some cultures, the theory of karma and reincarnation, this dissertation asserts that there is a God and he is responsible for justice.   Unfortunately we are unable to leave all the work of delivering justice to God.   In order to create a peaceful society, rapists and murderers ought to be locked up.   We cannot have a world where there is violence in society.   We do not condone capital punishment as that is a violation of the liberty of another life.   Even though one has breached the liberty of life of another, two wrongs do not make a right.

3.8 Revenge is sin

Two wrong do not make a right.  There is a lot of wrong doings on this little planet.   Whether it be a drug deal of the junkees of this world gone wrong, or jealousy of a sexual nature, revenge is sin!  There is a Lord sitting in the heavens and he is watching.   He is within all of us.   He puts us through several tests of mortality.   He is our judge.   Our reword is heaven.   Our testing ground is the Earth we walk upon.   When we do wrong, there is the concept of Karma.   If we do wrong it shall be punished by the Lord Almighty.   There is no need to take on the responsibility of judge, jury and exetotioner.   That is too much responsibility for any one man.   That is not our job.   That is the job of Almighty Lord.   There have been many cases where a woman is assaulted and revenge is sought.   There are many cases when a man is assaulted and revenge is sought.   An eye for an eye.   A tooth for a tooth.   This means of delivering justice is a sin and will be punished by the Almighty Lord.

  

On a global scale, there are wrongs done within interstate relations.   When a western democracy retaliates to a wrong, it is wrong.   For example, the American response to 911 was revenge in it’s purest form.   Pride is a sin.   Form an injury of their pride, the Americans toppled the Saddamn government, hunted down Osama and tore the entire middle east apart.   Given the governments of the middle east were in turmoil, and given, the most likely culprit of all were the Arabs, however given reasonable doubt, while preaching international institutions to negotiate peace, the Americans came out looking like the bad guys.   To cite another example, lets look at the European wars in the past three centuries.   As greedy feudal monarchs reigned at the time, they were all anxious of aggressive neighbors, while secretly desiring more territory and resources.   As one state would be vanquished in battle, they world hide their resentment, sign a peace treaty and prepare for revenge in their next battle.   One wins, one loses.   In the next battle, the tables turn.   At the end of the day nobody wins.   Not a single person will be able to tell you what the conflict was about, but revenge is necessary.

3.9 Trespass shall be punished

Having said that revenge is sin and karma is the work of the Almighty Lord, trespass shall be punished by state.  Some people in this world are consumed by the workings of the devil and an insatiable urge to do wrong.  Some wrong can be overlooked.  Some wrong can be cautioned.  However some people do not have an understanding of right and wrong.  As these people probably are suffering from hallucinations, voices of the devil in their head, they should probably be locked up in the psych ward.  They probably need a pastor more than they need medication, however we are not here to debate psychiatric medication.  Trespass upon anothers liberties ought to be punished.  The most severe cases of assault and murder ought to deliver heavy jail terms.  ‘Thou shall not kill’ has been recognized as divine law and is also recognized by pretty much every state in the world.  Trespass upon anothers liberty to life will be punished by the state.  There is no need to take the responsibility of judge, jury and executioneer into ones own hands and there is no need to wait for karma to punish.  The state will impose a suitable jail term for offenders.

Similarly, every state has the liberty not to be invaded by neighboring states.   This has been problematic for centuries.   This dissertation advocates for a world federation for purpose of security and peace.   All military personnel and machinery ought to be managed by a central authority.   If however, there is a leader who is charismatic enough to gather an army with nationalistic or religious ideals, and trespasses upon another states people, that will be punished by the global defence force.   There may be the day when the world federation encounters rebels demanding reform.   Peaceful protest will be tolerated, however if these rebels pick up arms and threaten to kill or actually assault and kill, their trespasses shall be punished.   There shall be fair trials, with judge and jury.   However there will not be an executioner.   Revenge is sin and there is the commandment from Moses, ‘thou shall not kill’.   Humans are not to kill another or beast for any reason.   Justice shall be delivered by Almighty Lord.   In the interim, we cannot have murderers and rapists, who propagate violence, to roam the streets.   Therefore incarceration for those who trespass upon the liberties of another.

3.10 Good shall be rewarded

Good shall be rewarded when we accept that for us to enjoy our life, one created in his own image, his children for who he has been there, within our hearts, minds and bodies, growing us like one would nurture a hydroponic plant, enough light, enough darkness, enough gravity, enough air, enough water, enough oil, enough corn and enough barley.   We can ferment and create wine, we can mine, refine, and create various precious metals and alloys to enable us to create cities and empires and civilizations, with the help of science, the medical, mechanical, numerical, electronic and manufacturing.   We have mastered road, rail, sea, air and space! We have charts of the universe, however little is known.   There are beings in other atmospheres on other planets with sciences that are much more advanced.   A letter to my son.   This is the voice of God.   You are in the house of God.   Peace be on Earth!
