Walker's Model of Governance ​💢​


Commander

Recommended Posts

💢

This poem was created by me sometime back but is very much relevant even today. 

I have posted it here below.
It is about a Governance Model which is perhaps better than the existing ones including Capitalism Socialism etc and bring Betterment to Humanity and improve Democracy. 

We can discuss it out and improve it further as we see fit.

I may not rewrite the poetry but can modify the Model as required.

 💢

India of my dreams ! 
 
I dream of the India that stands for GOOD and eliminates EVIL
A Haven for all Creative People with peaceful pursuits
A Nursery of Humanity which brings out World Winners.
Where everyone is cared for with maximum Human dignity.

Without upsetting the existing foundations
Let's bring about superstructures that will give
Support to the fallen and sick in their dereliction
No one lacks Food , Shelter or care.
 
In every State let there be a Control State, Private State,
Work State and Welfare State and Hospitality State.
No need for Geographical exclusion, there can be overlaps.
But notional and unambiguous demarcation.

Control State includes Governing Structures, Courts,Police
Custody,Punishments,Defense,Banks,Insurance all Public
Water,Electricity,Sewage,Environmental cleansing etc.
Fair Election causing good Government installed!
 
Private State with maximum freedom has to be earned.
Family is the unit and all its ownership protected and paid for.
Fair taxes, Free Markets, Free Ventures , Home working
Research , Art and Sport by Individual and Family units.
 
Controlled ownership of Public ventures and all such endeavors
will fall in the Work State too where Corporate is the Unit.
Need for more than familial workforce is the distinction.
Fair Workers' Law and conditions to yield highest Productivity.
 
Welfare State totally funded by State will admit any needy
Child, adult or elderly and provide for free food and shelter.
Stay and prognosis and migration to other states will depend
on progress but assurance of Life support guaranteed !

Similarly Hospitality State has controlled ownership of Public
Units, Hospitals, Institutions,Hotels for citizens and Visitors.
Major Sport arenas ,Stadias ,Cinema , worship places for mass
gatherings take place here and well secured against threats.
 
Town Planning and future establishments will make sure easy
demarcation and security lines between these states possible
Administration will improve as people rejoice in the benefits.
Social distinctions and divisions will ease and fade eventually.
 
No weapons allowed in any state except the Control State
and with Control State Personnel on duty at other States.
Crime will be severely dealt with and punishment exemplary.
Police will be your best friend after your family circle !
 
Free water,electricity,gas and internet upto per capita quota !
Free Cleanliness of surroundings and free Health-care for all !
Good Technology use and monitoring to prevent terrorism,
Crime prevention [no ragging] , more so in public areas !
 
No one can blame the Government for lack of opportunities.
Let's have many more World Champions, Nobel Prize winners
Olympic Gold medallists, Oscar winners from our Motherland !
Let India be the dream-place to live in this Universe !!
 
written by [ Thomas Walker ] on the eve of elections [15th Lok Sabha]

How is it different from social democracy other than even more free stuff and therefore less incentive and with it less productivity, so more wealth redistribution required but with less to distribute, leading toward less personal freedoms?

Am I allowed to be a World Champion couch potato, on the couch of my choosing, if that's my desire?

Thank you.

Certain Differences from the Best Democratic Models which are run by accepted Constitutions. This Model will also need to be implemented in Similar lines.

The Welfare State will make sure Basic Amenities are met for all and therefore NO POVERTY and Socialism Goals are subsumed.

There won’t be any recognition/special treatment based on Caste , Race , Color or Religion. All are treated Equally in each of the 5 States.

All extra to Basic needs/facilities will only be available in the private State on paid basis and no free/basic Amenities for those who are in the Private State.

We shall work out how much Basic needs will be Free on the Welfare State and the criteria for movement from Welfare State to Private State and vice versa in respect of Able Adults , Children, Senior Citizens and Family Units. In general there will be tremendous Incentive and Attractions for encouraging those who are in Welfare State to work towards reaching the Private State and the Large Aim will be to MOVE EVERYONE TO THE PRIVATE STATE.

Everyone will be an Equal Citizen with respect to Voting Rights.

Every Citizen will be in either in Private State or in Welfare State which is mutually exclusive. They may also be in the other three States such as Control State, Work State or Hospitality State.

This will further be developed to address all issues !

Hi Commander

This is essentially your version of social democracy. Social democracies can work very well, or very poorly, depending on a number of factors including how well you balance strike balances and get general acceptance.

Just comments:

Poverty levels can only be arbitrarily defined. You have to balance what the state can or is willing to afford to eliminate and what those in poverty want and need.

Taken literally, here you are deciding what is best for some people, whether they like it or not. I might not want everything in your basic needs package, but rather have something extra to it. Literally again, it's 100% clawback of welfare (you don't allow me anything extra until I can fully pay for all my basic needs). Your safety net serves somewhat as a trap.

How? And who decides what for individuals in the welfare state, whether they are struggling to get out...or satisfied to be there?
