Abolish compound interest and private property of territory

Dear all,
Honestly, I feel kind of lost being confronted with this months topic. I
don't know where to begin and what to begin with. Despite of Germà's and
Rob's introductions I feel like being lost in a jungle.
How to change global political structures against the broad influence of
those with power and money? Does it not seem to be easier to build new
structures which, due to their being transparently interrelated, will
control themselves?
Such structures are bound to the global community, the social and ecological
co-operative of equal partners. Competition is focused to understand nature
in order to become able to copy nature's principles.
Keeping and fostering nature's circles of energy and material replaces the
coercion of making money thus optimizing coexistence of man and nature.
Prerequisites for achieving this essential goal are: to abolish compound
interest as well as private property of territory. Only if the worshipping
of Mammon is stopped and only if the earth's territories and waters are
regarded as being the property of life on earth handed from one generation
to the next, only then it will be possible to guarantee a basic income.
Basic income for every member of world society is the social fundament
which: 1) will bring up equality in rights and duties, 2) will welcome
diversity of ideas, 3) will enable solidarity 4) and which will give the
space for subsidiarity and self management.
I do hope there are plenty ideas how to transform this vision into reality!
Any structure of global governance has to be based on horizontal networking.
So far for my try to approach this months topic,
Thanks for your attention, Wolfgang
