PRESS RELEASE:
Proposed ‘Equitarian’
Constitutional Reform --
GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.
Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica [F.E.D.],
in alliance with the Equitist Advocacy group, have today issued the attached
proposed PREAMBLE, together with our latest draft of an
economic-democratic, ECONOMIC checks and balances instituting, statute
for democratic political-economic governance.
We propose that this statute be incorporated into the U.S.
Constitution, so that it can be amended only by the same process required to
amend that Constitution, and/or
its Bill Of Rights, and not merely by a simple majority vote in Congress.
The intent of these documents is to establish a Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY in the United States of America, including so
as to reverse the present, accelerating drive toward police-state,
totalitarian, “Eugenics” [‘humanocidal’] dictatorships, in said United States
of America, and world wide.
These texts are designed as instruments in support of a
massive, grass roots, democratic
populist movement, in the U.S., and world wide, without which no such
‘social-revolutionary reforms’ can possibly be instituted.
These texts are designed to help such a real movement -- a
movement to defeat the ruling-class financed and formulated right-wing
[e.g., fascist],
fraudulent, pseudo-populist ideologies now being spread rapidly, by
that ruling class, in the United States, and
throughout the European Union, to name only two loci of this contagion.
The ruling plutocracy is recoiling in fear from the growing
signs of popular, anti-Wall-Street, anti-“Billionaire-Class” unrest, including
the unprecedented primary election successes of Bernie Sanders, a self-avowed
“socialist”, and even from the national-electoral success of the [likely only populism-feigning] Donald
Trump.
This ruling-class’s rapid spread of these racist [e.g., fascist], fraudulent, pseudo-populist ideologies is looking successful, in
part, for wont of any detailed
alternative to the Orwellian, state-capitalist, police-state, totalitarian, “Eugenics” [targeting 90+ % global population extermination*]
dictatorships that the ruling plutocracy is preparing, globally.
Critics of our ever-worsening capitalist status quo,
who say they want to replace ‘descendent-phase’ capitalism with a better
socio-political-economic system, are classically confronted -- and rightly so -- with the
refrain: “We’d all love to see the plans”.
The “plans” of F.E.D., and of the Equitist
Advocacy group, for what we hold to be a far better socio-politico-economic
system, are now there for all to see, in detail, see ‘Draft of Proposed
Amendatory Annex to the U.S. Constitution’, at -- http://www.dialectics.info/dialectics/Applications.html.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
*[The plutocracy’s
plans for 90+ % global ‘humanocide’ have been stated publicly, again and
again, by both key perpetrators of the plutocracy itself, and by their ‘spokes-servants’. For a selection from these public statements,
see the 4/11/2013 posting at --
However, we do not see these, draft, plans as finished, or
final.
We hold that no small minority, such as ourselves, can craft
plans adequate to the growing diversity of Terran humanity as a whole.
We call upon you to critique, and to suggest improvements
to, these texts, linked-to herein.
We will be only too happy to incorporate any and all
improvements that you offer, and that we too see as improvements, into the
planned later drafts of these ‘amendatory’ and ‘implementary’ documents.

Summary descriptions of the newly-discerned
fundamental human rights -- as
also new constitutional
rights -- grounding these proposed ‘equitarian
revolutionary reforms’, can be found via the
following link --
These proposed
‘‘‘reforms’’’ are also ‘‘‘revolutionary’’’, but not in the sense of some kind of
civil violence -- which is all that the ruling plutocracy ever wants you to
associate with the term “social revolution”.
These ‘‘‘reforms’’’
are also ‘social-revolutionary’ in that, if they are implemented, they will
change the fundamental ‘social relation
of the societal reproduction of our society’.
That ‘fundamental
social relation’, is today, the ‘capital/wage-labor’, or
‘capital/salaried-labor’, relationship.
Under the rules of
that relationship, the accumulating wealth-creating work-power and work-product
of the wage-labor/salaried-labor majority is funneled into the ownership of an
ever tinier minority of ever-more concentrated owners of capital, and, hence, ever-more
concentrated owners of money, who buy that accumulating, ever-expanding wealth creation
in return for just enough money, or, increasingly, not even enough money, for that
majority to eke out a bare subsistence -- increasingly, not even enough to
secure a decent life for themselves, let alone for their children.
That
concentrated-ownership class thereby also acquires sufficient money wealth to “buy
out”, lock, stock, and barrel, all three branches of, formerly “democratic”,
political government, thereby obviating and circumventing the checks and
balances -- essential to the maintenance of any degree of political democracy --
among the executive, legislative, and judiciary branches of political
government.
When those three
branches all respond, dutifully, to their single “owner”, the former checks and
balances among them cease to exist.
The houses of
legislature become houses of prostitution, their legislators whores to the “Big
Money” lobbyists.
The executive branch
comes to be led by a succession of individuals who are able to win election
only through the funding of their campaigns by “Big Money”, and who, hence, are
“deeply beholden” to “Big Money”.
Appointments to the
judiciary by these executives come to reflect that ‘beholden-ness’, so that the
courts, instead of meting out justice, and checking abuses of legislature and
executive power, mete out the policy preferences of the concentrated ownership
class, detrimental to the majority, and ratify those abuses of power.
None of this can get
any better -- all of this will only continue to get worse -- unless there is a
shift of power, back from the tiny minority that is the concentrated ownership
class, to the majority working/middle class.
But that shift of
power cannot suffice or sustain as a shift of political power only.
The ruling
plutocracy has locked-up politics.
That plutocracy “owns”
the executive, the legislative, and the judiciary branches of political
government.
It has used its economic power to gain predominant political power.
It has translated its concentrated economic power into concentrated political power as well, subverting all of the
institutions of a free and democratic society.
We see only one
positive solution. The working/middle
class must leverage its remnant political power, its majoritarian power, its power of numbers, to implement a sustained
shift in economic power, back towards itself. It
must institute a system of new, economic checks and balances. Those economic checks and balances, and the accompanying
shifts in economic power, back toward the majority class, can then resuscitate the
presently-moribund political checks and balances as well.
We propose to
accomplish this by widening the social discernment of three additional
fundamental human rights, to the point of constitutionally recognizing and
implementing those three fundamental rights.
Human rights, and
human liberties, are those principles of political, economic, and social
conduct which, when implemented, militate against otherwise systematic
injustice, and enable the life of the majority of citizens to thrive.
What fundamental
human rights are unobserved, missing, honored mainly in the breach, in our
present, capital-owners-centric society?
First, our
late-capitalist society is dense and bursting with “external costs” production
-- with the production of pollution and other “externalities” by capitalist
enterprises -- the production of damages to “third parties”, who are neither
owners, nor customers of those enterprises, damages generated by the
unregulated operation of those enterprises.
Citizens can no
longer protect themselves, their neighborhoods, or their children, from
increasingly toxic, deadly pollution.
Regulation of such pollution production via central, bureaucratic
agencies leads to the buyout and “capture” of those regulatory agencies by
those that they are supposed to regulate.
Such agencies are
“bought out” by “the usual suspects”.
The agents of those agencies end up, after a few years of agency
“service”, in “cush” jobs with those they were supposed to have regulated, in
return for not having done so.
Citizens can no
longer afford the costs of suing these polluting enterprises in civil court,
and, moreover, the civil court “justices” are increasingly beholden to the
polluters, appointed, indirectly, by them -- i.e., directly by the executive
branch that those polluters also “own”.
The majority of
citizens need a new, democratic, grass roots way to regulate and reduce such
“externalities”.
Implementation of
the ‘Citizen Externality Equity’ human right is designed to replace corrupt bureaucratic regulation, and
corrupt civil court litigation, with grass roots regulation. For
more regarding this human right, see Sections 2 and 3, in ‘Draft of
Proposed ‘Amendatory Annex’ to the U. S. Constitution’, at -- http://www.dialectics.info/dialectics/Applications.html .
Working/middle class
citizens are, increasingly, abjectly dependent upon capitalist employers, not
only for monetary income by wage or salary, but for health care, and for
retirement savings. These same employers
ever seek ever new ways to sever these citizens’ employment -- to lay them off
-- whether buy automation, or by shipping their jobs to low-wage ‘servant-dictatorships’,
also “owned” by the plutocracy, where workers’ efforts to form unions to help
raise their wages are met with murder at the hands of police-state
death-squads.
Recurring “great recessions”, of increasing global severity, recurrently release legions of workers into low-income or no-income unemployment. The unions that, e.g., in the United States, once provided collective defense for the working/middle class, against employer abuse, have mostly been destroyed here as well.
To thrive, working/middle
class citizens need a new source of economic strength, to bolster them in their
fight against this global “race to the bottom” in terms of wages/salaries, and
working conditions.
Implementation of
the ‘Citizen Birthright Equity’ human right is designed to install a fully-portable personal social
safety net, not tied to any employer; an individual trust fund, for every
citizen. For more regarding this human
right, see Section 4, in ‘Draft of Proposed ‘Amendatory Annex’ to the U.
S. Constitution’, at -- http://www.dialectics.info/dialectics/Applications.html .
The employers of the
concentrated ownership class own the money that now “owns” the political
government -- all three branches -- lock, stock, and barrel.
To thrive, or even
to survive, the working/middle class majority needs a shift of economic power back to itself, so that they will have
the financial wherewithal to begin to be able, again, to sustain a political fight against the growing dictatorship of
the ruling plutocracy, if not to outlaw outright the ‘legalized bribery’ of today’s lobbying and “campaign finance reform”. The working class needs to gain a share of
what it produces, beyond merely the equivalent of its costs of bare subsistence
-- in the form of, secularly falling, in real terms, salaries and wages -- if
it is to have a chance at a decent standard of living, the “free time” to
participate in civic, political life, and if its is to stand a chance against
the concentrated wealth of the concentrated ownership class.
Implementation
of the ‘Citizen Stewardship
Equity’ human right is designed to enable ‘collective entrepreneurship’. It is
designed to do so in the form of markets-competing ‘socialized
producers’ cooperatives’, and of competing ‘social banks’ that provide means of production
‘‘‘stewardship’’’ to statutorily qualified entrepreneurial collectives that at
least one such ‘social bank’ is willing to bet on, via ‘socialized venture
capital’, such that the producer-members, or ‘citizen stewards’, of these
democratically self-managed producers’ cooperatives, are compensated both for
time worked, and with an equal share of the operating surplus of their
cooperative. For more regarding this
human right, see Section 5, in ‘Draft of Proposed ‘Amendatory Annex’ to
the U. S. Constitution’, at -- http://www.dialectics.info/dialectics/Applications.html .
We propose the
constitutional establishment of these three human rights, as extensions of the
capital equity, “stockholder
democracy” principle to principles of non-capital-owner, non-stockholder
‘stakeholder democracy’, and as extensions of the “equitable jurisprudence”
principles of the Anglo-American legal tradition, to institute constitutional economic checks and balances that will also revive
the moribund political checks and balances of the U. S. Constitution. Thereby, the growing extra-constitutional
dictatorship of the ruling plutocracy can be blocked, and the polity of the
United States of America can move to that of a Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY.

MOVIE REVIEW: “Arrival” [¡¡Spoiler Alerts!!].
MOVIE REVIEW: “Arrival” [¡¡Spoiler Alerts!!].
Dear Readers,
NOTE TO READERS:
This movie review is an expression of my personal tastes and views. It does not necessarily represent the views
of the F.E.D. Office of Public Liaison, of
the F.E.D. General Council, or of Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica at large.
Regards,
Miguel
I recommend that you see the new movie “Arrival”, which was
released on 11-11-2016.
For a Hollywood movie, it has exceptionally-advanced
cognitive content, explicitly referencing, for example, “Non-Zero Sum Games”,
and “The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis”.
Indeed, the plot features an inter-human[oid]-species
instantiation of a ‘‘‘positive sum game’’’, and an application of Sapir-Whorf
to the grammar of an extraterrestrial human[oid] language.
This movie, I found, was
gripping, moving, riveting, despite -- ¿or
because of? -- the fact that
it featured a female protagonist -- a professional linguist and
language-scientist -- and was devoid of all nudity [except, perhaps, for the
aliens -- probably not very sexy to Terran tastes] and devoid of all sex scenes!
The aliens offered we humans a “gift”, or a “tool”,
or an “instrument”, or a “weapon” -- translation of their symbol for this
offering was particularly difficult -- in exchange for a promise of help to
these aliens from Terran humanity around three thousand years in the
future: these aliens operated on a ~ 3,000 year negotiating horizon for their
proposed positive-sum, win-win deal-making!
Spoilers Alert: The movie also inculcated a -- potentially
racism-withering -- vision of the vast variation that we might expect to
encounter in the bodily morphologies of other self-conscious human[oid] species
that evolved, e.g., in stellar/planetary systems other than our own.
The aliens, in this movie
vision -- based upon a short story by Ted Chiang -- were called “heptapods” -- towering,
seven-footed, octopus-/squid-/elephant-like mammoths, whose tentacle-like limbs
ended in star-fish-like “hands”, which, from the center of their “palms”, emitted
octopus-ink-black, swirling clouds that coalesced in circle-motif,
continually-flowing characters, suspended in these aliens’ misty gaseous or liquid
atmosphere -- shimmering, metamorphosizing, ‘semaphoric’ symbols, smoke-ring
ideograms -- perhaps -- hanging, and continuing to flow, mid medium.
These aliens were soon
understanding everything we
said and wrote to them, except our algebra!
The language-scientist
heroine finally figures out what these aliens are offering us.
They turn out to be a race of
‘extraterrestrial Leibnizs’.
What they are offering us is,
indeed, a ‘‘‘weapon’’’, if only in the sense of a ‘weapon of
understanding’.
They offer, yes, a gift -- a
gift of immense value -- but an intangible one, and one offered in
exchange for our promise of future help from us to them.
They offer, yes, a tool -- a
tool of great power -- but only in the sense of an “instrument of thought”,
indeed, an «organon»,
such as that of which Leibniz dreamed -- an extraterrestrial «characteristica universalis», a written universal language, but purged of all human[oid]
idiosyncrasies, so as to be maximally fitted to reality.
These aliens offer us a
‘weapon for deciphering experience/reality’, a language so apt that, when one
uses it to describe, e.g., the past, and/or the present, it let’s one see also
the consequences thereof -- ‘‘‘let’s you foresee the future’’’.
The writers of this movie,
and of the short story upon which it was based, seem to me to be -- rather fully --
cognizant of a salient fact about Terran ‘human[oid]ity’, and, I expect [and
they expect too, I think], about other ‘human[oid]ities’, birthed in other
stellar/planetary systems, as well: Language -- spoken, then written -- is
a core technology, and, indeed, a core presupposition, of ‘human[oid] phenomes’; of the very
possibility of any human[oid] species as such, at all.
Their work made me think also
of F.E.D.,
of what we too -- though we cannot claim to embody extraterrestrial ‘heptapodicity’
-- are offering to the rest of Terran humanity:
a dialectical,
algorithmic-heuristic
«characteristica universalis»,
“a language
so apt that it empowers you to ‘pre-construct’
a description
of your probable future, while living still
within your present”.

F.E.D./E.A.g. Press Release --
Program for Global Renaissance / Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY!
Dear Readers,
Foundation Encyclopedia Dialectica [F.E.D.], jointly with the Equitist Advocacy group [E.A.g.], has today published the Press Release, posted below, calling for a world wide program to institute Political-ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY and to catalyze a GLOBAL RENAISSANCE, so as also to close the door on the otherwise impending New/Final Dark Age.
READ, CELEBRATE, CRITIQUE, and IMPLEMENT !!!

PRESS RELEASE
Call for a ‘Global Declaration of Peace through Prosperity’/‘World Wide Marshall Plan’ --
Global Strategic
Hypotheses.
The General Council of Foundation Encyclopedia
Dialectica, and the Equitist Advocacy group, have
jointly issued a call for a ‘Global Declaration of Peace through Prosperity’,
via a ‘Marshall Plan for the Developing Nations’, an international public
works, infrastructure building, and industry-building initiative, also designed
to create an ‘employment boom’ of well-paying jobs in the 35 member
nation-states of the OECD [ Organisation for Economic
Co-operation and Development ].
Our alliance also calls for this
‘World Wide Marshall Plan’* to
be a multi-lateral Plan, rather than a plan supported by the United States
alone.
Pursuant to this ‘multilaterality’,
we call for this Plan to be administered by the OECD, which would thus reprise, on a
global scale, its original, Western European scale role, created in 1948, as
the OEEC [Organisation for European Economic Cooperation]
“to help administer the Marshall Plan (which was rejected by the Soviet Union
and its satellite states) . . . by allocating American financial aid and
implementing economic programs for the reconstruction of Europe after World War
II.”**
However, the OECD can succeed in any
such ‘World Wide Marshall Plan’ role, only if the national ambassadors and
ambassadorial delegations of the 35 member nation-states, that constitute the
OECD Council, and that govern the OECD, represent, in their majority, national
governments which have been taken back to democracy, by anti-plutocratic, democratic-populist
movements -- NOT by the “extreme right”,
divide-and-conquer racist, ethnicist, and ‘religionist’, [proto-]fascist, pseudo-populist, anti-human-ist***
state-capitalist
movements and ideologies, secretly funded and engineered by the ruling
plutocracy itself, precisely to pervert and derail the real populist movements [e.g., remember the
National “Socialist” [sic] “Workers” [sic] Party, i.e., the Nazi Party, in
Great Depression/Rockefeller-“Eugenics”-conquered pre-WWII Germany].
The requisite democratic-populist
movements are
neither “right” nor “left” in political orientation, per prevailing media
definitions, but are both -- or, more precisely, are ‘both and neither’; neither by way of being both -- thus a ‘‘‘dialectical
synthesis’’’ of the mutually-opposing two, and, hence, a transcendence of
each.
This call for a ‘Global
Declaration of Peace’ is promulgated in the understanding that global impoverishment
-- deliberately engineered and exacerbated by the ruling plutocracy --
including plutocracy-orchestrated ‘designer depressions’, and “First World”
de-industrialization, and depopulation as in Germany, Japan, France, Italy,
etc.****
-- is the fundamental, root cause of social violence, police-state dictatorship,
civil war, and global war.
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________
*[ In our view, our proposal is the precise opposite of the “Global Marshall Plan”
foisted by Rockefeller agent Al Gore.
Gore’s plan is, in our view, not
aimed at furthersocio-economic development, and the further
growth of the social forces of production/societal productivity, but at its opposite: further suppression of
industrialization in the plutocracy-created and plutocracy-maintained
“Third World”, and ‘‘‘eugenocidal’’’ depopulation, there and elsewhere as well ].
**[ For further background on the OECD, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisation_for_Economic_Co-operation_and_Development ].
***[ For more about the meaning of this term, see the book Merchants
of Despair: Radical
Environmentalists, Criminal Pseudo-Scientists,
and the Fatal Cult of Antihumanism, by Robert
Zubrin. ].
****[ For more about the success of the plutocracy’s
‘stealth humanocide’ policies in depopulating “First World” countries, see
Jonathan V. Last, What to Expect When No One’s
Expecting: America’s
Coming Demographic Disaster. ].
World Peace can only be achieved through a ‘Global Renaissance’ of
increasing and accelerating global
prosperity for the thus rising working/middle classes world-wide.
Only by such can the ruling
plutocracy, and their plan for a New/Final Dark Age of “eugenics”, i.e., of ‘humanocide’,
of global depopulation, be defeated by the human[e] global majority.
Only by such can the
plutocracy-engineered, divide-and-conquer ideologies, to which the billions
that the plutocracy has impoverished, and made desperate, and thereby made
susceptible, e.g., to every kind of the separatisms and balkanizations that the
plutocracy has contrived or amplified -- beggar-thy-neighbor “nationalisms”,
racisms, ethnic chauvinisms, “religious” chauvinisms, gender chauvinisms, etc.,
etc., ad nauseam -- be overcome, so that the human[e] global majority
can work in its own interest, instead of working against that interest, duped into so doing by ideologies engineered by the ruling plutocracy.
This call is for fiscal stimulus, instead of austerity,
in each of the participating OEDC nation-states, and in China, if China is willing
to participate, coordinated
among those nation-states for maximum, global, synergistic effect, such that the ‘fiscal-stimulating’
national government investments converge in a plan for massive infrastructure
construction throughout the “Global South”, in Africa, Latin America, the
Middle East, and the remaining impoverishment-stricken regions of Asia, together with
massive industrialization investments.
Producing the wherewithal for
this gargantuan global investment will create massive new productive
employment, resulting in ‘full employment plus’ [effective negative rates of unemployment], primarily in their production
plant and equipment an infrastructure-producing industries, with their massive
“multiplier” impacts, in the participating OECD nations-states -- states that
have been, e.g., in the case of the European Union and the United States, so
slow to grow, and so impoverishing of the middle/working class, especially
since the plutocracy-contrived “Great Recession”.
We summarize the
benefits-versus-costs analysis of this proposal as follows --
Benefits to Terran humanity as
a whole: World peace, through world
prosperity; Global Renaissance.
Benefits to the participating
OECD member nation-states:
Employment boom; accelerated real, reproductive economic growth,
replacing present waste/stagnation/degeneration; upsurge in public revenues/governmental tax
receipts.
Benefits to the participating
recipient nation-states: Rapid uplift to high standards education and skill,
of societal productivity, and of per capita wealth. Deep drop in susceptibility to
plutocracy-contrived civil wars.
Costs to Terran humanity as a
whole: Protracted political conflict
with a tiny, but sociopathic-power-addicted, ultra-vicious, ‘humanocidal’
ruling plutocracy.
Costs to the participating
OECD member nation-states: Transient
fiscal deficit increases; transient inflation; potential new competition from
new, latest-technology industrial installations in the [former] “Third
World”.
Costs to the participating
recipient nation-states: Transient
involvement of one or more OECD member nation-states in their accelerated
socio-economic development; cultural transformation that includes disruptive
aspects.
The cost side of the ‘‘‘ledger’’’,
above, for the OECD member nation-states, should be mitigated as follows: by repayment of their coordinated national
public debt expansions through a share in the ‘‘‘users fees’’’ generated by the
public’s use of the new publicly-owned infrastructure financed and partly
constructed by those OECD member nation-states.
The new production facilities constructed
and installed in participating nation-states of the “Global South” by this
‘World Wide Marshal Plan’ should be oriented toward production for expanded domestic
consumption of goods and services, made possible by the rising incomes, and
rising effective demand, among the citizens within those “Global South” nation-states, and not
for export to the OECD member nation-states. However, some ‘South/North’ trade in
high value-added products and services should be expected to develop over
time. Rising effective demand among the citizenry within the participating
“Global South” nation-states will, in time, benefit the export trade of the participating OECD member
nation-states as well.
‘Equitarian’ standard
‘technodepreciation insurance’* should be offered, as part of this
‘World Wide Marshall Plan’, to enterprises in participating OECD member nation-states, to
help manage the risk of ‘technological obsolescence depreciation’ of their
fixed capital plant and equipment, as a result of new competition from the
products of new enterprises, characterized by transiently lower wages, and
by technologically state-of-the-art fixed capital plant and equipment, and public
infrastructure, constructed and installed in participating “Global South”
nation-states, as part of this ‘World Wide Marshall Plan’, in part by those participating OECD member nation-states.
Crash-programs for literacy and
numeracy acquisition, and for other aspects of education and of
skills-development, for the “Global South” working classes that are to operate
the new infrastructures and industries, form a necessary component in this
‘World Wide Marshall Plan’.
A crash program for the
development and deployment of radioactivity-free forms of nuclear fusion power [not fission power],
is another necessary component of this ‘World Plan’.
The results would be more socially optimal if this
OECD ‘World Wide Marshall Plan’ were implemented under ‘Citizen Externality
Equity’** human rights institutions, applying
‘economic-democratic’, ‘grass roots regulation’ to the pollution-production
potential of the industrial plant and public infrastructure installed in the
participating “Global South” nation-states under this Plan.
The results would also be even more
socially optimal if this Plan were implemented under ‘Citizen Stewardship Equity’*** human rights institutions of economic democracy, that is, by the ‘collective
entrepreneurship’ of qualifying, citizens’ self-organized, markets-competing ‘socialized
producers’ cooperatives’, and by mutually-competing ‘‘‘social bank’’’ cooperatives, formed from among
the citizens of the participating “Global South” nation-states.
A ‘declaration of peace through
prosperity’ is the opposite of a “declaration of war”. A ‘declaration of peace’ is not a matter of the imposition, by
violent coercion, of the will of one nation-state upon another.
A ‘declaration of peace’ must be
a negotiated treaty, a legal, diplomatic instrument,
agreed upon, in mutual consent, between one nation, or group
of nations, such as the OECD, and another nation-state, or group of
nation-states, such as nation-states of the “Global South”.
Nation-state has “declared war”
upon nation-state, and prosecuted wars of mass destruction, ever since the
advent of the nation-state social formation, centuries ago.
But perhaps never before, with
the partial exception of the original Marshall Plan, have nations ‘declared
peace’ upon one another, including by consciously and explicitly ‘declaring
prosperity’ upon one another -- ‘‘‘peace through
prosperity’’’.
Such official, collective
declarations of world peace through world prosperity, and their implementation, we hold, are
a necessary prelude to attaining closure with regard to all of the chapters of the bloody “prehistory” of
[true] humanity on this planet.
