www.andrewmarkmusic.com The Golden Rule Winter Solstice Series Part 11
This series of posts was mostly for those who still consider the idea of spirituality important. Included in this demographic would be any atheists who still consider some type of spiritual view--perhaps philosophical naturalists and such who hold pantheist views.

It's time to take a moment to consider my position on capitalism, but I'll preface by saying I reject the dualist control dichotomy of capitalist/communist. In my opinion, that duality is a modernist control machination implemented by The Usual Suspects.

I don't own property and probably never will although if I did own I'd only buy one property that would satisfy my needs. I don't exploit anyone's labor for personal gain or profit. I run a small legal proprietorship which means today that banks, corporations, and governments are at war with me--this is because I refuse the corporate model of doing business-what I call the Unholy Trinity and make no mistake about it--if you are not for the Unholy Trinity they WILL wage war against you in every way that's legal (and sometimes illegal). To be frank, if one is friends with this group then one simply hasn't been asking the right questions. At any rate, any sustainable capitalist model has to end income via exploitative rent-seeking, using forced coercion and unnecessary exploitation to earn a profit from someones basic need of food and water has to end, too. In my New Earth Commons model I also see the need to end neoliberal debt slavery for education, and a new healthcare system needs implementing--one premised on a healthy foundation and not the present capitalist model of healthcare which seeks to profit from an extraordinarily toxic system--ending the toxic system would be the saner approach! I've pointed out the lunacy of the cost of maintaining this present dysfunctional system--it's staggeringly expensive and it would be less expensive to implement a healthy economic model. Obviously, a sick unhealthy electorate is very easy to control especially when splintered into thousands of warring factions arguing over what little scraps are thrown from the table.

The Four Pillars of a New Earth Commons Civilization needs funding by a non-debt public means of exchange via something like Public Banking or a non-debt currency like Positivemoney.org. Let's be clear here: this model is premised on the hopes of civilization surviving 100 more years in a healthy fashion--something that is quite questionable under the present system. The crown in the cap so to speak with this model is it also doesn't break the only spiritual rule that really matters: The GoldenRule which was always relevant to the trading of goods and services.

In this model, capitalism would still exist but wou
