1. F.E.D.: “What does Karl H. Seldon mean by his neologism
‘Equitist Political-Economic Democracy’?”
1. AI: “Karl H.
Seldon’s neologism “Equitist Political‑Economic Democracy” refers to a
proposed post‑capitalist, democratic, and equity‑based
social system that he describes as a higher successor system to state‑capitalism. The clearest description available comes from
the summary of his book Equitist Political‑Economic
Democracy: Marx’s Missing Blueprints for a Higher Successor
System to [State‑]Capitalism.
Equitist
Political‑Economic Democracy is
Seldon’s name for a system that –
1.
Expands democracy from the political sphere into the economic sphere.
Seldon
argues that current systems have political democracy but economic
oligarchy. His model aims to create a democracy
of both political power and economic power, not just one or the other.
2.
Replaces exclusive “Capital
Equity” with inclusive “Generalized Equity”.
He
claims that capitalism is dominated by Capital Equity—ownership rights
held only by capital owners. His
alternative introduces three new forms of all‑citizens
equity, which he frames as new human rights and new, all-citizens’
property rights:
- Citizen Birthright
Equity
- Citizen Externality
Equity
- Citizen Stewardship
Equity
These
are meant to give every citizen a share in economic decision‑making and
economic benefits, not just shareholders – owners of capital-equity stock.
3.
Creates new, economic
checks and balances.
Seldon
argues that political checks and balances have eroded under a capital‑dominated
system. His model adds economic
checks and balances through universalized equity rights, which he believes
would counterbalance concentrated capital power.
4.
Provides a non‑violent,
electoral, legislative path to systemic transformation.
The
book outlines draft constitutional amendments and enabling legislation
intended to transition the United States from a capital‑equity oligarchy to an Equitist
Political- Economic Democracy through non-violent, democratic,
rule-of-law lawful means.
How
Seldon positions the concept:
According
to the book description, Seldon frames Equitist Political‑Economic Democracy
as:
- A “higher successor
system” to contemporary [state-] capitalism.
- A system designed to
prevent what he describes as the “suicidalism” of exclusive capital
ownership.
- A model that
integrates economic rights into the structure of democracy.
- A blueprint for a generalized‑equity
society, via a revolution in the primary “social relations of
production”, not merely for a reform of capitalism.
This
places his concept within the broader family of economic‑democracy
theories, but with a unique emphasis on new forms of equity as universal
rights.
…
In
summary –
Karl
H. Seldon’s “Equitist
Political‑Economic Democracy” is a proposed socio‑economic
system in which all citizens hold new forms of economic equity, giving
them democratic power not only in politics but also in the economy.
It aims to expand exclusive capital-equity ownership rights to add inclusive, universalized
all-citizens equity rights, creating a system of political‑economic checks and
balances and enabling a non-violent, democratic, rule-of-law-based transition to
a higher form of democracy, beyond capitalism’s merely-political democracy.
2. F.E.D.: “Please summarize the three new equity types in
more detail.”
2. AI: “Here’s a
deeper, clearer breakdown of Karl H. Seldon’s three new forms of equity—the
core pillars of his proposed Equitist Political‑Economic Democracy. These are not “equity” in the financial‑market
sense, but new universal economic rights that every citizen would hold
simply by being a member of society.
I’ll
unpack each one in detail, focusing on what it is, what problem it’s meant to
solve, and how it functions in Seldon’s framework.
1.
Citizen Birthright Equity.
What
it is –
A
universal, unconditional economic right that every person receives simply by
being born into the society. It is meant
to function like a baseline economic inheritance that does not depend on family
wealth, class, or market success.
What
problem it addresses –
Seldon
argues that capitalism concentrates ownership and income through inheritance
and capital accumulation. Birthright Equity is designed to counteract this by
giving every citizen a share of national economic value, not just those born
into wealthy families.
How
it works in his model –
-
It is a permanent, non‑transferable equity stake in the nation’s productive
system.
-
It generates regular income (similar to dividends), funded by broad‑based
mechanisms such as social property rents of Citizen Stewardship Equity
cooperative enterprises, and externalities fees.
-
It is meant to guarantee economic security, enabling genuine political and
economic participation.
Conceptual
analogy –
Think
of it as a universal economic floor—a right of citizenship, not a welfare
program.
2.
Citizen Externality Equity.
What
it is –
A
universal right to grass-roots, electoral regulation of the positive and
negative externalities that citizens collectively bear or generate. In other words, if economic activity imposes “third
party” costs or benefits on society, citizens have an equity claim on those
effects, a collective property right, effectuated by an electoral process.
What
problem it addresses –
Seldon
argues that capitalism allows firms to “socialize”, i.e., to offload costs
(pollution, environmental damage, public health burdens) onto the public while
privatizing the profits that also result.
Externality Equity is meant to correct this by ensuring that:
-
Citizens hold democratic power to regulate negative externalities imposed on
them.
-
Citizens limit above-legal-threshold externality-generating enterprises’
externalities production – capital equity enterprises and Citizen Stewardship
Equity cooperative enterprises alike – via those enterprises constitutionally internalizing
publicly elected public boards of directors, to negotiate a limited annual
budget of externality production with the governing board or management
committee of that local enterprise. If
these negotiations deadlock, decision remands to the elected, recallable
justice officers of the proximate ‘Tribunal for Externality Equity’.
-
Citizens receive returns from positive externalities they collectively create
(e.g., public infrastructure, knowledge, social stability), and credit is registered
to capital-equity and Stewardship Equity enterprises that generate positive
externalities, in their negotiations with their internalized, popularly-elected
public boards of directors.
How
it works in his model –
-
Externality fees [for externality production still permitted by the
internalized, elected, recallable public boards of directors], … and similar
mechanisms would flow directly to local, Citizens-elected public boards of
directors.
-
This creates a systemic, grass roots, economic-democratic check on harmful capital-equity
and other enterprises’ externalities production.
-
It also concretely recognizes that society as a whole contributes to the
conditions that make capital-equity enterprises and other enterprises possible.
Conceptual
analogy –
It’s
like turning every citizen into a shareholder of the commons, with a right to grass-roots,
democratically-decided externality-production restriction, and to externalities-fees-based
compensation when the commons is damaged by the production of negative
externalities that the public boards still permit.
3.
Citizen Stewardship Equity.
What
it is –
A
universal right that gives citizens access to national social property means of
production if they qualify to form democratically self-managed socialized
producers’ cooperatives.
What
problem it addresses –
Seldon
argues that modern capitalism concentrates decision‑making power in corporate
boards and major shareholders, even though the consequences of those decisions
affect everyone. Stewardship Equity is meant to:
-
Democratize economic governance
-
As a matter of social policy, enable Citizens to experience “democracy at work”
instead of only capitalist “tyranny at work”
-
Create checks and balances on concentrated capital power
How
it works in his model –
-
Citizens hold a stewardship stake in their socialized producer-cooperative
enterprises, that grants them use-rights, but not ownership rights, in their governmentally-granted
social property means of production, in return for a monthly social rent, paid
to the nationally elected and recallable National Office of the Custodian of
Social Property, the proposed new ‘Economic Presidency’ of the United States.
-
Stewardship equity property is designed to be inalienable, non‑marketable—you
can’t sell it, and it doesn’t behave like capital-equity stock.
.
. .
Putting
it all together –
Seldon’s
three equity types work together like this:
-
Birthright Equity → ensures basic economic security.
-
Externality Equity → ensures popular, grass-roots, electoral, democratic regulation
of externalities production.
-
Stewardship Equity → ensures social-property, means of production support for
democratically self-managed Citizen’s socialized producers’ cooperatives, and for
their collective entrepreneurship.
Together,
these three new kinds of equitable property and equitable rights form the
backbone of his proposed Political‑Economic Democracy, where citizens are not
just voters but economic stakeholders with enforceable new property rights and
human rights.”
3. F.E.D.: “In your first response of this dialogue, above,
you noted that Seldonian Equitism is a “system designed to prevent what he
[Seldon] describes as the “suicidalism” of exclusive capital ownership.” Dues this “suicidalism” have to do with
Seldon’s ‘technodepreciation’ interpretation of Marx’s “law of the tendency
of the rate of profit to fall” that, per Seldon, leads, through a series of
phases, the dominant, ‘Rockefeller faction’ of the ‘descendence
phase’ [falling-profitability phase] capitalist ruling class to opt for a
“people are pollution”, ultra-Malthusian, ‘humanocidal’ ideology, with a plan
for “95% global, designer-disease pandemic human population extermination”?”
3. AI: “I can help
you sort out what Karl H. Seldon actually argues versus what
would fall into the category of harmful or conspiratorial interpretations,
which I cannot endorse or repeat as factual.
I’ll stay grounded in what Seldon writes about his theory, while
also being careful not to validate claims involving mass‑harm scenarios.
Here
is the clearest, accurate, and safe way to understand the relationship between:
- Seldon’s idea of “suicidalism”
- His interpretation of
Marx’s tendency of the rate of profit to fall (TRPF)
- His concept of technodepreciation
- His description of
ruling‑class ideological responses in late‑stage capitalism
…and
what he does and does not claim.
What
Seldon actually means by “suicidalism” –
In
Seldon’s writings, “suicidalism” refers to a systemic tendency within
late‑stage capitalism… . He argues that:
-
Capitalism’s internal dynamics (especially falling profitability driven by
technological change),
-
Push the system’s ruling class toward self‑undermining behaviors,
-
That ultimately threaten the stability of the society that capitalism depends
on.
In
other words, “suicidalism” is a structural, economic self‑destructiveness … .
He
frames it as a macro‑systemic contradiction … .
How
“technodepreciation” fits in –
Seldon’s
“technodepreciation” interpretation of Marx’s TRPF says:
- As technology
advances, fixed capital becomes obsolete and devalues faster than it can
amortize by “wear-and-tear” depreciation.
- This accelerates fixed
capital depreciation, just as fixed capital becomes ever more dominant in
total capital composition.
- Which compresses
profit rates, as lost fixed capital value is written-off against –
subtracted from – gross profits.
- Which pushes
capitalists toward increasingly aggressive strategies to maintain or
augment their profit rates, feeling that “their own system” has turned
against them.
This
is his explanation for why capitalism enters a ‘descendence phase’
(a long‑term profitability squeeze, provoking a violent ruling-class reaction
thereto).
What
Seldon says about ruling‑class ideology in the ‘descendence phase’ --
Seldon
argues that:
- When profitability
falls, ruling‑class factions adopt ideologies that justify
austerity, privatization, and population reduction.
- Some factions may
adopt neo‑Malthusian worldviews (e.g., “overpopulation is the
[only] problem”).
- These ideologies
function to rationalize policies that enhance capital profitability at the
expense of broad social welfare, to say the least.
This
is both a critique of ‘descendence-phase’
capitalist ideology, and an indictment of literal mass extermination
plans.
E.D. Editors: See – Capitalism's
Fatal Flaw, and the Way Forward: 'Rocke-Nazi' Plutocracy Publicly Proclaims
Planned Planetary Population Plummeting. GLOBAL STRATEGIC HYPOTHESES.
He
is describing psychohistorical patterns of “elite”
worldview formation, as well as their resulting secret programs (“global
pogroms”).
Seldon
claims that:
- A ruling‑class faction
has a literal plan for “95% global human population extermination”.
- There is an organized
program for global extermination of the vast majority of human beings.
- The capitalist “people
are pollution” ideology accompanies a policy agenda covertly involving global
mass murder, although ruling class spokespeople have leaked this publicly.
Those
interpretations fall into the category of conspiracy narratives, and I
cannot present them as factual.
What
Seldon argues about neo‑Malthusianism –
Seldon’s
position is that:
- In late‑stage
capitalism, some “elite” groups adopt ultra‑Malthusian rhetoric, and
plans.
- This rhetoric frames
social problems as “over-population” problems.
- This serves to deflect
attention from the structural economic self-contradictions of the
capitalist system.
- It is part of what he
calls the system’s “suicidalism”—because it undermines the very
society capitalism, and humanity, needs to survive.
Summary
–
Here
is the safest and most accurate way to put it:
Seldon’s charge of “suicidalism” refers to
capitalism’s structural tendency to undermine its own social foundations
during its ‘descendence phase’. Seldon’s ‘technodepreciation’‑based
interpretation of Marx’s falling‑profit‑rate law explains why ruling‑class
factions may adopt increasingly mass-murderous or neo‑Malthusian
ideologies. Seldon further claims
that these ideologies translate into literal plans for global mass murder.
Seldon
is analyzing economic contradictions and ideological responses, as well
as conspiratorial scenarios.
If
you want, I can also explain:
- How Seldon’s “descendence
phase” compares to Marx’s crisis theory.
- How his “Rockefeller
faction” concept fits into his broader class‑analysis model.
- How Equitism is meant
to resolve the contradictions he identifies.”

BE CONTINUED.
Editorial Note: Evidently, deference to the ruling,
‘Rockefeller Faction”, by the owners of the AI dialogued with above, has led to
programmatic-endemic blanket denials of all “conspiracy theories”, and to
fallacious modifications of statements in writings such as those of Karl Seldon,
such that the AI denies that Seldon wrote what he has actually written. In exchange 3, above, we have edited
out these outright lies by the so-programmed/censored AI, and/or replaced them
with descriptions of what Seldon has actually written.
