Manifestus Positiv

This document represents the views of a new ideology that seeks to move away from
classical left-right political thought.
It is centered in logic, science and critical thought. Positivism seeks to reform
our existing capitalist society in a way
that will not disturb the social order, but rather to introduce fairness and equal
possibility.
The first reform that is proposed is to end lobbying and instead offer companies,
corporations and small businesses a seat
at the parliamentary table. Each seat would be given to a company depending on the
number of employees and their net worth,
with a limit set at a level so as not to over represent the biggest firms. Smaller
businesses would be able to form councils
that would appoint an individual to a seat. The other half of the seats would be
given to elected politicians who would be
voted for by the people. Their political parties would be entirely non-profit and
each politician given a salary. In this
scheme lobbying would be highly illegal.
The second reform aims to end mass production. The aim is to enforce laws that
would require manufacturers to produce
products that would last a minimum of 90 years or more. The jobs lost would be
redistributed to other fields which will
be presented in following reforms.
The third reform is closely related to the second. It aims to end factory farming
and mass production of food.
Law would require that no pesticides, fungicides or insecticides be used by farms
and to end preventive administration
of antibiotics in animal husbandry. Here is where the jobs lost in mass production
would be redistributed. In order
to produce enough food a massive labor force would be needed to tend to farm in an
organic manner. An additional law
would be put in place that would require any person who wishes to consume meat, to
kill the animal themselves.
The following are not reforms or laws proposed but rather a general school of
thought in positivist ideology.
The consumption of seafood directly threatens the human race and life in general,
for the sole reason that most
of our oxygen is produced in the sea. All sea pollution should therefore cease in
addition to the stigmatization
of eating seafood.
The concept of religion would be viewed as a metaphor for the human consciousness.
The desire for profit should be replaced by a desire to discover new things in
science and culture.
The traditions of our ancestors should be preserved and analyzed in a scientific
manner.
The national identities and borders would be preserved as a way to facilitate
homogeneous societies.
Self sufficiency in all things is the ultimate goal.
Space exploration would be the new goal of humanity that would replace profit.
