Basic Income and freedom as non-dominance, indispensable minima for the world democracy
Joan INGLADA
Thursday, November 07, 2002 3:27 PM
I believe that there is a very synthetic way of defining how to reach the
objectives according to my perception of the world, that I believe that it
is very similar to most of the conceptions up to now expressed.
To have a "real" world democracy it is necessary at last:
1. to endow the 6 thousand millions of inhabitants of the planet of the real
capacity of participating in the public sphere; this means that all human
being, without distinction, should perceive from the public administration a
necessary amount of money to be able to subsist in dignity, that is to say,
above the threshold of poverty. If the life of a person depends on charity,
favors or even contracts where he or she is not able to negotiate, this
person doesn't have real capacity of political participation.
(For a definition of the Basic Income, see:
http://www.etes.ucl.ac.be/bien/BI/Definition.htm)
2. to endow us of a world political system that guarantees the freedom as
no-dominance, that is to say, impeding the arbitrary interferences in
individual life as well as in collectivities. If an individual or a
community is vulnerable from arbitrary interferences this is not a true
democracy.
Perhaps these are the indispensable minima, in my opinion, so that the rest
of topics concerning material and spiritual improvement that most of the
groups participating in this forum are proposing can be developed. Or
perhaps these two points that I am exposing here were the objectives to get
through some of the other objectives outlined by these groups and/or others
that have not still contributed.
I am 57 years old, so if these two points were achieved before I died, I
will feel infinitely happy.
Sincerely,

PS: in the synthesis Arnaud BLIN says that there is 1 Esperantist among
those being introduced, and in fact there are 2 that have being introduced
until now, Renato Corsetti and myself.
