A. FUSION OF LAW AND EQUITY INTO WORLD AND AUSTRALIAN POLITICAL SYSTEMS
Historically political power has evolved from male physical strength and bravery in wars fought between opposing tribes for land. Such is epitomised by Julius Caesar’s rise from the military into politics and others who followed with their bravery and success in war culminating perhaps with Napoleon in the 19th century.
During such time the following political systems evolved:
(i) a Parliamentary system based on the rule of law in a capitalist economic and social system;
(ii) a Parliamentary system based on the rule of law in a socialist economic and social system;
(iii) a Plenary system based on various meetings and resolutions in a Communist economic and social system;
(iv) a military controlled government – form of autocracy;
(v) a dictator controlled government – another form of autocracy.
It is my belief that all people of the world can live together in peace and harmony and coexist and help one another at any time of need.
If God exists, then please God excuse the persons of the world today who falsely and wrongly believe that one of the above political systems is better than the others. In every instance it depends on how the system is created and managed and what rules and regulations each political system puts into place to develop and manage the economic and social order of its trade and people.
Clearly military and dictator power is held by a much greater degree of force over the people and how they live and work. Capitalist, Socialist and Communist political systems are all established to look after the welfare of its people but in different ways.
Capitalism in 2025 provides much more freedom to the individual with a political system that encourages invention and discovery and creation of business enterprises with as little rule and regulation as possible and social order with as much freedom of choice as possible.
Socialism applies more rule and regulation over social and economic order. Communism provides that much more again rule and regulation over social and economic order.
Today, we are most definitely at the crossroads confronted by AI and climate change. It is absolutely imperative that the different political systems are accepted by a reconstructed and reconfigured United Nations under a new charter. Such entity is the only way forward to achieve a “one world” to create and roll out AI and climate change policy and regulate it. Without it conflict is inevitable. And it is likely to be sometime this century.
The leaders of the world in politics, business, and social order must recognise and accept political systems and all country sovereignties and all religions. The rule of law whether imposed in a capitalist, socialist, or communist country requires the right fusion between law and equity on social and economic order of its people from time to time. It is simply a matter of political degree and economic and social adaptation by its people in each country. And by extension across the world both by each political system and the people who live within each such system. So logically, it is very achievable.
But today, world leaders fail to get close to the necessary approach that needs to be taken. NATO is not the entity to be involved in the settlement with Russia in the Ukraine war.
Russia sees NATO action in Europe as a central cause of the war.
Individual countries are simply not strong enough to be an alternative. What is simply required is a new world order entity that acknowledges all political systems, all religions and economic and social orders and with a set of rules (that is the most difficult part of the equation) to resolve all disputes between more than one country.
In Australian politics today we can take the best from the socialist and communist models in the following areas:
(i) economic – have the supply of essential business services such as energy and health, transport and infrastructure owned and controlled by the government;
(ii) social – teach children from preschool about rights and respect and honesty – not just rights. Such otherwise produces what we have today – too many selfish persons who are only interested in themselves and their well-being and money. A person with a more balanced mindset between individualism and respect and compassion for others produces a happier and more contented person. And a healthier person is more productive in every sense of the word.
(iii) Australia needs its children to become more interested in its political system and how it affects them. Otherwise they become uninterested and inadvertently complicit in creating a society with more inequality and social unrest.
(iv) Then, and only then, are we going to get the effective changes so desperately needed to improve and strengthen our political system and in doing so the lifestyle of our people.
(v) State and territory governments need to be abolished. Some of the personnel and infrastructure used to roll out and maintain policy will be retained. A national parliament will make all political decisions. Municipal councils would be reconstructed and reconfigured and act simply as agents of the national government – the eyes and ears for recommendations to national government and the workforce for the role out and maintenance and regulation of policy. Such a restructure comes with an annual extra 2 to $300 billion each year into the national accounts. It is a game changer. Federalism has had its day. It was necessary in the horse and cart era but certainly not today. Decisions about a local matter can be made just as well, if not better, by a person today in space or overseas. Such persons can see the issue and have all the information available to them to make the right duly considered decision. If our political system was a business, it would have merged, been sold or restructured to provide a better return on investment many years ago. Social and economic improvement has been made to our lives but our political system has remained unchanged. It needs to change. The quicker the better.
B. COMPLICITY
We need to widen an individual’s knowledge and interests in life. Up until the 20th century workers took whatever job they found. During the first half of the 20th century two world wars and the depression impacted on family life and workplace relations (away at war or unemployed).
After World War II we continued until around 1970 to take whatever work we found. From then we began to see increased work opportunities made possible by innovation and invention following two world wars and the advent of technology. More specialisation of work practices. In the 21st-century these practices have simply continued to intensify. At the same time the western education system seeks to foremost provide a child with self confidence. Sadly self-confidence by itself is not good. There needs to be a balance with respect for others.
At the same time, money has become a God. Created by modern technological developments and enterprises, the internet and social media. Everyone in every place around the world can see and hear how other people live (social and economic orders) and think (social order as well). So come the 21st century and the world now is a huge melting pot of its people in all countries in different social classes seeking money to live and experience the experiences of other people around the world.
C. CONCLUSION
Life in 2025 in Australia today is lived more selfishly by its citizens (the decline in Christianity has also aided the current lifestyle).
To live with money being the number one goal. Live without sufficient respect for other people and the family, neighbours, friends at school and work, and in the country generally. We have become dishonest and corrupt as money is wanted at every level today. The problem today is the breakdown of the family unit. We need two incomes for a family to simply survive.
The family unit needs support – I recommend a nanny be imported into the family. It could be sourced from the Philippines initially and controlled by the national government. Such would strengthen the household family structure by giving support to the parents/partners with preschool children and would also give support to parent/partners with purchase of foods, meals and keeping a house in order. It provides an option for preschool childcare as provided today and provides a household with less stress and pressure for each member of the family. The same system should also be rolled out for age care living in your own home.
The second root cause of the problem is the education system. Honesty and respect is simply not taught and developed in children. The right “mindset” – a good balance between individualism and respect and honesty for and with others and to be opinionated and not complicit all the time. This needs to be taught in curriculums around the country from preschool onwards. This is a 20 year vision statement – in education and health (wellness and well-being).
All political parties are silent on any aspect of this policy in respect to education and health. Nothing is provided to work towards changing the mindsets of individuals from a young age – just more and free childcare centres which are simply not the best way to educate 2, 3, 4 and 5-year old pre-schoolers. And health by making medicare free (at a cost of 8 1/2 billion – good) but does not specifically address the root cause of the tragic and high recent increase of mental illness. Money is simply thrown at it. A better curriculum should provide our children with a stronger and more adaptable mindset and with a wider and greater knowledge. Both will encourage an individual to stand up for what is right. We will also be more intelligent, adaptable to change, respectful and honest with a stronger mindset.
