Spiritual alienation At the twilight the last century we discovered that the
ecosystem of our planet was endangered the by industrial development of our nations.
We know that we depend upon the consumption of vast quantities of energy in order to
support our cities, our transportation, our technologies and our homes. But our new
awareness of the detrimental impact we are effecting to our planet demands a new
ethos for our technological and material development.
8.
We believe that the extraction of natural resources and the development of
infrastructure and products must no longer be executed for the purpose of bolstering
private wealth. It is not enough for governments to regulate, at arms length, the
operations of our industries. We must have companies which exist in order to serve the
planet and our species rather than themselves, we will fight to create them.

We despise the corporate empires which systematically exploit workers around
the globe. Though these economic structures are supported and defended by the law
we see that they are fundamentally unfair and undemocratic and actively seek to
change them.
10.
We decry the ideal and celebration of economic growth. While seeking to end
unemployment and poverty we should
11.
We reject the claim that an economy depends upon antagonistic competition. We
believe a more productive economy is one in which the methods and modes of
production can be openly shared between peoples.
12.
We reject the moral legitimacy of franchises, patents, trade secrets and exclusive
access. We reject the laws that the proponents of such practices have created in order
to defend their dominions over words and ideas; whether the names and trademarks of
organizations or the methods and brands of production. Such laws have enabled
producers of drugs, food, clothing, machines and information to reserve control over
abilities which should be available to all; they serve corporate interests rather than the
free market or the public. We believe that knowledge of a businesses which serves
democracy should be openly available to the public, that any business should be free
to copy or draw inspiration from the practices of any other. While disallowing
exclusivity of knowledge may subtract from an entitys possibilities for Only by allowing
the freedom of knowledge and information, we can create a society which maximizes
the possibilities of creativity and entrepreneurship in all human practices. Human
society has only begun to tap into the possibilities of biological, electrical and
computational technology and we should not enforce the mechanisms of control which
halt our potentials for development.
13.
We believe that no organization should never be structured despotically.
Presidents, ministers, priests, boards, chiefs, executives, and officers must be
accountable to those that they lead. A truly democratic society is one in which the
market is democratic together with the state, we work to create one. and we demand
this change in the institutions of production, technology, and resale. Electoral politics is
not the only or best form of democracy. Direct democracy can be facilitated within
hierarchies of organization is leadership made accountable to their subordinates in all
their project and developments. In business the operations of organization should
never be locked into command, policy or protocol. Firstly, workers should always have
the freedom to transform and develop the practices in which they play a role.

We understanding that money is a human invention and that its function since its
creation has always been to enable the powerful to dominate and rule the weak. At the
dawn of the 20th first century we see mountainous reserves of wealth contrasted with
extreme poverty. All of us, every worker and every small or medium sized business
relies upon the trickling down from these fortunes in order to sustain secure ourselves.
Meanwhile, the very wealthy, celebrated and envied in financial culture, direct the
course of planet.
15.
We recognize the need, today, to depend upon the system of capital in order to
ensure accountability for labor. However, we see that using wealth in order to create
further wealth is a meaningless way of life. We believe that wealth should always serve
first to alleviate international poverty and suffering and second to foster human
development and flourishing in the creation of the technological and symbolic
infrastructure. We know that a redirection of our economy could create a planet more
fair and more free and we demand to create it. Public service and the creation of wellbeing should not be the incidental work of charities of nonprofits, but the fundamental
and only function of wealth.
16.
We regard the international system of stocks and the trades on the stock market
as a corruption of the concept of ownership and reject the stock market as a measure
of the health of nations. What began as a system by which entrepreneurs could seek
support for new ventures has deteriorated into an arbitrary system in which
stakeholders distant to the operations of an organization gamble for their own ends.
But those who have invested in ownership of names are cognizant of the risks of
investment and that the entities they own may cease to exist at any time...

We believe the internet is a new human utility which has brought new abilities
and potentials to humankind. However, we are concerned and critical of that the
development of internet is unaccountably controlled and directed by private leadership
serving their own interests.
18.
We are concerned that the growth and supply of food is increasingly controlled
and directed by private leadership serving their own interests.

20.
We believe that all forms of governments should be open and transparent in all of
their operations. Secrecy or confidentiality in governance is only ever used as a means
of conspiring against a people and we therefore consider it wholly unethical. We call
for the public availability of all documentation of governance in all nations on the earth.
