Chesterton... Change the Laws ..

[5fish]

You do not need the confiscation of wealth in most cases a few changes in laws can be balanced to the economic system. Today Stock Buybacks must end or be redistribute to the employees equally in the company as bonuses, this one change would correct so much inequality. The ownership of land should be 99 year leases from the government and the fees from these leases redistributed to the all the citizens. You just need changes in the laws to mudge society in the right direction. Chesterton was right here were his changes....

G.K. Chesterton did suggest that only a few key laws would have to change for distributism to work, as the current pervasive system of property concentration was largely maintained by specific existing laws. He argued that if these key legal "stumbling blocks" were removed, a society of widespread property ownership would naturally re-emerge based on common sense and human nature. Specific legislative changes Chesterton and other distributists advocated included:

Taxation of contracts: Implementing a system that would discourage the sale of small properties to large corporations and encourage the break-up of large properties among small owners.

Free law for the poor: Ensuring that small property owners could afford to defend their property rights in court against wealthy entities.

Protective tariffs and subsidies: Deliberately protecting small, local experiments in property ownership, if necessary, through mechanisms like local tariffs and subsidies.

Destruction of primogeniture: Advocating for something like the Napoleonic testamentary law to prevent the concentration of land in a single heir, thereby encouraging distribution among family members.

Chesterton believed the existing laws favored monopolies and the concentration of wealth, thereby creating an artificial "proletarianism". By altering these specific laws, he aimed to restore a system where widespread private property ownership was the norm, allowing people a genuine choice between wage labor and self-employment.

Communism... laws needed...

The Ultimate Guide to Socialist Law

Delve into the complexities of socialist law through a comparative lens, examining its theoretical foundations, practical implications, and the contemporary challenges it faces.

www.numberanalytics.com

The legal system in a socialist context is seen as a tool for achieving and maintaining the socialist order. This involves:

• Abolishing the capitalist legal framework that is perceived to protect the interests of the bourgeoisie.
• Establishing laws that promote social equality and the collective good.
• Using the legal system as an instrument of social change, rather than merely as a means of dispute resolution.

What Is Communism?

Communism is an economic theory that says society should take from citizens according to each one's ability and distribute to each according to need.

In the Communist Manifesto, Marx and co-author Friedrich Engels outlined the following 10 points.

Abolition of property in land and application of all rents of land to public purposes
A heavy progressive tax or graduated income tax
Abolition of all rights of inheritance
Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels
Centralization of credit in the hands of the state
The state would control communication and transportation
The state factories and instruments of production would cultivate wastelands and improve the soil
Equal liability of all to labor and establishment of industrial armies (especially for agriculture)
The gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country
Free education for all children in public schools and the abolition of children's factory labor
The manifesto mentions state ownership in its last three points, making even this pure vision of communism sound like socialism. However, Marx argued that state ownership is a valid stage in the transition to communism.3

Georgism wanted a few slaws changed...


Georgism advocates for laws that implement a land value tax (LVT) to replace other taxes, believes land should be publicly owned, and supports policies like the public ownership of municipal utilities and the use of sovereign currency. Today's Georgists also advocate for related changes, such as loosening zoning laws and promoting denser neighborhoods.

Key Georgist policy goals

• Land Value Tax (LVT): The central tenet is to tax the unimproved value of land to capture the "economic rent" that arises from its location, which Georgists argue is a fairer and more efficient source of public revenue than taxes on labor or capital.
• Tax Reform: Use the revenue from the LVT to reduce or eliminate other taxes, such as those on income, trade, and purchases.
• Public Ownership: Advocate for the public ownership of municipal utilities, such as water and electricity.
• Monetary Reform: Support the use of "debt-free" sovereign currency, like the U.S. Greenback of the past, which governments would issue to fund public spending, instead of relying on private banks or commodity-backed currency like gold.
• Zoning and Housing Reform: Modern Georgists often advocate for the reform or elimination of restrictive zoning laws to allow for more flexible and denser housing developments.

Historical and modern context

• Origin: The ideology is named after its late 19th-century proponent, Henry George, who wrote the influential book Progress and Poverty.
• Political influence: Georgism was a significant political force in its time, influencing both social movements and world leaders.
• Contemporary relevance: While once a mass movement, Georgism has seen renewed interest, particularly among younger people concerned with issues like housing affordability and urban planning.

"Capitalist production, therefore, only develops the techniques and the degree of combination of the social process of production by simultaneously undermining the original sources of all wealth – the soil and the worker". -Karl Marx

The Myers Angel knows all. He has been around along time. He was a close friend of Queen Ester Mordecai. From the records of Director Fritz Lang. Myers is a very common name but there is only one Myers Angel and he has a history. Some say he is Jewish and some say he is Lutheran. Still others say he is Methodist. He was known to hang with Catholics from time to time and liked Mormons both in Nauvoo and Salt Lake City. For sure he was a big deal in Hollywood California.
