The Perfect System
Well, most of us have pretty much figured out by now that living
under our current corpratism is quite stressful, frustrating and
alienating. Even if they do have a drug for all that.But what of the alternatives?
It sure does seem like every new expedition to rectify the system for the good of mankind meets an even mightier wall to surmount; and every somewhat serious attempt at creating a grand new way of doing things somehow ends up more evil than it’s predecessor. At least that’s what the history books tell us.
I thought I, Anonymous might share with you my own carefully gathered philosophy. Yep, I’m just going to barge right in here with my own take on how we all should live our lives like I’m New Aged Utopian Moses or something. You can make it up to me by inventing your own witty -ism for my concept.
Most of you will think I’m a nutter, but some of you will think I’m a maverick. If you’re the latter I’m doing this for you, as you’re a nutter and I like you. For the rest of you, I will condense this whole thing down to just the end of this article, giving you all infinately more value per word than all of the great political philosophers who’s books you’ve never read. Combined. Also, it will succeed. It’s guaranteed by me, Anonymous.
The Perfect System – New Popular Edition
Overview and complete revolutionary guide condensed to the end of a single opinion article.
Overview:
It’s the near future. The planet’s seemingly inevitable peril has been averted last minute by a massive shift in human values and consciousness. Crime of all kinds virtually ends, and cities and towns become a series of vibrant communities where people care for each others needs collectively. People become rooted and instead of taking destructively from the land and environment around them, they build on it, knowing that their families will benefit from their care for generations to come. There is abundance, with seeming ease.
People dust off and finally feel fulfilled, exercising their own free will about how and when they work and rest. Despite the lack of government or corporate power, people are virtually universally guaranteed freedom of movement, housing, and all kinds of nourishment. Many spontaneously heal from their physical and mental illnesses that proved to be the product of their general dis-ease.
Somehow, through a treaty of mutual respect and care, it all works, it all stays peaceful save the occasional scuffle, immediately regretted. Nobody really wants war, and you can’t really have a war if nobody shows up. Everyone is too busy having fun or simply enjoying life.
Peace. Happiness. Fires. Drumming circles.
“Yes, Anonymous” I hear you grown, “I’ve heard your idealist Utopian hippie dream-boat doo-gooder fantasy before. You won’t succeed on your own and the masses are too brain-dead and servile to rise up with you.”
All true. Thanks for the segway.
Complete Revolutionary Guide
The perfect system is the simple system. Most humans today engage with a system that is immensely complex and difficult to understand. We have to be trained from an early age how to act appropriately within it. Sadly it also teaches us to be at odds with our gut feelings and concience, alienating us from our friends and family. We are shuffled like cattle from place to place in the pursuit of involving ourselves in other people’s financial transactions, mostly for the benefit of people who don’t respect us or even know us.
The truth is that we already know what to do.
Can you think of where you heard about my hippie utopia dream? In some ways it’s not too different to the way your ancestors lived for many many generations. Sure, I tainted the story somewhat with my perspective, but in essense a way of life like this is stamped on our conciousness, an instinct.
The entities that have hijacked our existence have a system is modelled on our own. The human system. It’s the structure of institution that takes us off our course. Clearly defind rules tell us how to arrange and organise for education, law, politics, sport. You reap what you sow. The campfire becomes the television, instead of promoting discussion it gives us it’s own view, expecting us to sit in silence.
Experimentation and failure are removed from education. Places for healing become sterile and empty. Our pastures are barren and dry. Leaders don’t know what to do and certainly aren’t the ones doing it. Love is kept for someone special and not shared, and hate, well, that’s applied liberally. Community is a brand. Everything that we used to care about is carved up for someone elses profit.
The process is quite simple, really. You just have to block out the noise a bit and listen to yourself. In case you live in upside down world and don’t know how to do this, here are a few tips to get you going:
* Reject hate and greed. As justified as you might feel, if you are acting out of hate or greed, you are not serving yourself or those you care about in the long run. Without these things blinding you, you will see things much more clearly.
* Do not allow yourself to be stressed or pressured. Ever. If something regularly stresses you, then change it. If someone attempts to engage you in a pressure filled situation, be wary. If you think stress is unavoidable, stop thinking that stress is unavoidable, and you might be able to avoid it.
* Renew your relationship with food. Cut out things that fool your taste and eat good nutritious food that you enjoy. Most importantly this food must be shared with other people, as many of them as possible and as often as possible.
* Strengthen your ties with other people, especially those who are local or family. Share your space with lots of people. If this is not possible, move. I’m not saying you shouldn’t have private space, but you determine where that begins and ends your own way. Don’t trust whoever built your fence line to set your boundaries for you.
* Don’t be afraid of giving things away, or recieving. Be creative in finding things. Money is a tool that is used to remove your power over the way you do things. Try to do as much as possible without it, and worlds of opportunity will open to you. Share space, if you have it. If you don’t, find someone who does!
Basically, group up, find a base, share resources, treat each other respectfully. Be happy and kind to yourself. There will no doubt be bumps along the path, but If you do it right, you will have the safety and stability to choose what you do in life, for the good of a wider community that you truly care about. The feeling of self empowerment gained will be second to none, and when you reach that point, we will have won.
