IMPEACHMENT? THAT’S ALL? I WANT DIRECT AND ECONOMIC DEMOCRACY

from book: What we learned from the practice of Basic Income — A compendium of Writings and Data (Translation by Monica Puntel, Leonardo Puntel, Carolina Fisher and Revison by Tracy Halls. Art by Júlia Cristofi.)

Impeach the president? Why just her? Why not the lot of them? Let’s not be shy nor cowards. The problems didn’t appear with her, and won’t disappear with her as well. Let’s go straight to the point: why don’t we impeach all politicians? Why cut off the queen’s head just to hand it to other power projects and her court? So should the president stay? No, let her fall from power; and take with her not just her party but all — from the state and opposition; take with her all the power projects: from today, yesterday and tomorrow. May she go down the drain and along with her friends and enemies, all those that are capable of anything in order to stay or go back in power. May they drown in their own power? I don’t want to see heads rolling; I want the end of the throne.

If the people which re-elect the party are called “cuckold”, the even more “cuckold” are the ones that keep believing “No, not the next one! This one will be save us! This time it’s going to work, it has to work”. Yeah. Worse than being a “cuckold” is being conformed. Worse than feeling like you are being tricked is the idiocy of the conformation. The biggest idiocy is not to believe in this or those governments, but to continue believing in Father Christmas. And there are those who defend this lie as a necessary evil. I pity the poor guy who without being a liberal buys this government as a necessary evil story; evil is just a necessity to whom lives under evil, and not to who suffers from it. Bringing down a government to put another in its place, it is as liberal as the state itself; and worse than to protect the evil as a necessity is to defend the evil as if it is social well-being.

Don’t fool yourself: States don’t take from those who have to give to those who need, they take away from who can’t escape, to give to who is currently in and who will always be in power, all the time there is a State. For the rest they give back nothing more than a few crumbs. And the rest, my friend, isn’t the opposition (which one day was or will be your government), but the people, who will always stay where they always were, outside the government. Because the day when the people are the government there will no longer exist governors, for there will be free societies. This truth is so crystal clear that it needs to be crucified from those who lives by selling shadows or who can no longer stand the light.

This way, bring down from power not only the president, but the whole class of parasites of this parastatal and state bureaucratic political system. May it be the end of this ridiculous sham of power in political representation and the end of this cult of personas and powers. May we get rid of not only the politicians, but also from the class and population segregation of this power hungry culture. May all the commissioned and elective jobs be wiped out; may only public servants remain; whoever actually works and makes public business function even with all the bureaucracy and theft.

May public service and the common good be freed from the corruption of central power; may the public become social, efficient and competitive; and be directly regulated by clear and objective constitutional measures, directly financed and proposed by the population without the intervention of the useless and harmful executive and legislative representatives. Are you satisfied, with public management? Don’t wait four years. Don’t try to take the power. Change now, but don’t try to impose your opinion on others. Let people coexist in peace without imposing governments and administrations up against each other. And for the decisions that require everyone’s participation, may the majority and minority and protest dictatorship cease to exist, all but permanent negotiation. By the way, what do the governments that don’t want to fall do: They don’t impose, they negotiate. Then what should be done in reality should be done constitutionally, for the sake of everybody’s rights, but without middlemen, please: may the full right to free negotiation and association of peace constitute our state rights.

And even though we require technocrats such as the Levy’s to govern (of which I’m in doubt, but if…), may the power of giving and taking the power from and to him is from the society and not from the governor puppets or market hostages.

If who really is in charge are the market forces (and we are no longer stupid to believe the contrary) then may we abandon this central politic cretin hypocrisy and move on to participate in politics at where it is in fact done and decided: in the markets. May we have real and guaranteed political rights not by the fable of the votes and elections but by the factual means, materials, economic rights to participate in the real definition of the destiny of the nation, of the real politics: the capital. Let’s not allow one unique party in power, nor two, nor several, we shall eliminate all middlemen and intermediaries, finish with the election shams and let us, the people practice our political economic rights but not by the vote falsity, but for the reality of the capital- the same truth force which the people who are in fact free make their natural and social rights worth.

Enough of watching and paying for this ridiculous and stultifying show of political representation. Shall we adopt immediately the real democracy: the economic. Political rights are fictional without the guarantee of economic rights. We need full rights of political economic association and guaranteed access to the vital and natural means, the capital, in order to participate as a citizen of the political decisions exactly as one who controls the political power would do: in the economy, participating with the financial markets capital and influencing the destiny of the country by its financial associations. We will start to practice the political control exactly as the capitalists do, because the same as them, we are human beings and citizens with rights to access vital means and common good: capital.

May we be able to associate and disassociate in peace and liberty. May the natural people in society be able to directly compete in the market without the protectionism of the central power to the state and private corporations. May the real people not have their human rights disintegrated only to be reproduced as manpower and consumers, but may they have a fundamental right to due capital so that they are able to compete in a real world free without monopolies, on a real free social market.

The problem is the monopolies? The profiteers? May then the corporate privileges be revoked. May the monopolies end, but will all of them cease to exist, especially the biggest monopoly, the state over the common good and public services. May the arrogant monopoly of violence regarding the fundamental right to free societies free to negotiate in peace be finished. Leave the people who share the same piece of land and territory to peacefully negotiate on their common and particular properties and the monopolies will disappear.

It would be pathetic if not hateful to listen to the government complaining of the corrupt businessmen and the speculative market. Don’t delude yourself: who supports the privileges of the market as class is the government with its juridical, bureaucratic and above all monetary subsidies to these corporate monopolies that reattribute the “favor” by bankrolling this great swindle, the clash between the market and the government.

Is regulating markets alike to herding cats? May the administration and public management be auto determined by the people and free associations, financially uniting themselves in order to hire and pay the production that is interesting, as does who truly is in charge of the socio-economic system. May we not be obligated to purchase pre-fabricated products and politics, but may we demand the particular and collective goods productions according to our interests, individual and common, not as pending electors, but in fact as taxpaying citizens, financed by our own private and shared interests.

There is no need to redistribute anything, there is no need to take anything away from anyone, just pay what is rightfully ours as the true owners of public property, pay the social dividends to each person and let us associate to compete not only with the private monopolies, but with the state monopolies then we ourselves will support our own particular and common interests according to our social interests.

It is by participating in the markets not only as manpower and consumers, but as capital holder citizens and mutual financial society members, with the capacity to generate and support the economic and political and economic demands, that we may finally guarantee our most fundamental human rights.

Politics in the democracies keep being made, in the same places since its classic origin: in public streets and plazas, where from time to time manifestations and staged and riots organized, but day to day, belongs to the same actors: the financial markets. Who gives out the orders on the territories are the ones who occupy those public places; but who should occupy the daily democratic space are the free markets, not nationalized nor liberal, but social. Liberation isn’t provided by the power or public business takeover, it isn’t provided by the monopoly supremacy, but absolutely by the social protection against the entire network of monopolies including the biggest one: the state.

Capitalism isn’t (just) the forced labor and political servitude state extraction system for capital privation, but the social system for decision making for those that have the capital as guaranteed fundamental right. If the capital belongs to a privileged class, the entitled owners of the state violence monopoly, the capitalism is aristocratic tyranny; it belongs to the owners that recognize and mutually protect peaceful societies, then not only a truthful democracy, but a real libertarian republic supported not by the discrimination of the citizen classes more or less free, but on the fundamental guaranteed liberty founded for all with conditions set in concrete and not by paper promises.

Democracy is formed by free people. And who is free are only those with an income and property. The rest are their employees. The rest are the people, and it is obligatory to work, not just to support yourself, but to support the liberty as if it was someone else’s privilege and not a natural right. Who doesn’t have property doesn’t have income, and who doesn’t have guaranteed income doesn’t have enough liberty to support their political economic interests; who don’t have control over the fate of their own lives let alone the fate of their own country.

False democracy and false political and economic freedom of the people reduced to social classes, are perfectly defined by the production of Fordist masses “you may have whatever color car you want as long as it’s black” (and of course, a car). The access to money, credit, the subsidies are saved for the first-class citizens: the owners- and owners because they have subsidies. For those who make up the market there are guaranteed economic subsidies, but for those who don’t have the guaranteed properties nor social dividends there isn’t enough means to practice political power, just civil obedience. For us, the rest, the people, in the place of our rights and dividends there is the obligation disguised as workers “rights”, the vote and the elections. For the rest, the employed people, there is the forced labor and public servitude regime: slavery caused by debt and necessity.

Those who have no means to make their free will on political and economic agreements are not part of the negotiation, they are an object. Who doesn’t have the means to freely negotiate the privation of the necessities, above all the planned ones isn’t a citizen, but a slave. Negotiation with people without guarantee of practice of the conditions of their decision and conscience power aren’t legitimate businesses they are transactions made against people without freedom of choice, stuck into necessities, and who deprive themselves of the vital means on a planned and systematic way, they aren’t just null transactions but illegal.

And that’s not all.

Territories where people live without conditions to leave or survive without serving who controls these lands aren’t countries, but concentration camps of the employers. And if in these camps there are no more jobs (even if servile jobs) for all, and even if the exclusive system of the access to vital means is sustained without the guarantee of viral minimum for all, this national territory isn’t just a forced labor field, but an extermination camp of the segregated: the historical dominated populations, reduced to the employed classes.

No. This crime against humanity that is held inside the lands of a country, isn’t just their governors responsibility, but that of all the land owners of this territory, the citizens. It is everyone’s responsibility in the exact measure of our political and economic decision and guaranteed fundamental rights, or what is the same thing, our participation , or not, on the vital and natural resource control; the determined level of citizenship and human condition if free or slave factor; if libertarian or explorer.

That said, then why will Dilma fall? Why did she let them wreck Petrobras? Why did she destroy our greatest asset? Whose?

Brazilian born I don’t receive at home any social dividend of any public patrimony, I don’t receive no product neither do i enjoy my own land. On the contrary much like the majority I only support the state control of my own homeland with tax payments; I support my own discrimination and segregation to access common good and on top of that I pay the oversight on the expropriation of my natural rights. I don’t own anything, I don’t decide or have participation in anything what they say is mine! But this is obvious, Petrobras or any other state company, like it says in its name, isn’t in fact mine or yours, but belongs to state powers. If Father Christmas does indeed exist, then not everyone is his child.

Will Petrobras be privatized? Will they privatize what is theirs! How can anyone sell that what isn’t theirs? Worse than the state systematically taking what doesn’t belong to it, is to hand that over to who it is not owed to. This is not privatization or nationalization. Common good should be returned to its rightful owner: the people. Don’t they know how to manage? No problem. Who know who they are hiring now, and without middlemen. May Petrobras stay exactly how it is, but without politics, and may the real owners, the Brazilian citizens and the investors (why not?) receive what’s rightfully theirs, the social dividends.

Leave the common good in peace, cut off the putrid and the worms of public affairs, eliminate the politics as a class [1], and it will be not only public management which will relieve itself from corruption and inefficiency of the state monopoly such as the rights and social dividends owed to each and every citizen being paid without procrastination, conditions and bureaucracies as it should: with guaranteed basic income. After all, if nationality is an inalienable right of whoever was born in the territory, why does the authority and the income on this land belong to the state and not the legitimate owners, the people with social dividends?

Utopia? Like hell Utopia! Only if it’s in Dystopia country. I’m not asking to invent anything, or give anything which isn’t due to each person. They say that who defends basic income to all is insane, but insanity is to spend the whole life working and voting to support another person’s interest and possessions. If the basic income defenders have lost their minds is when they defend the nationalization of basic income as governmental assistance and not as straight constitutional arrangement. Basic income is the right to capital that belongs to natural people and not state corporations and much less to the private ones. It is not given, it is not free and it is not benefaction; it isn’t a benefit or concession; it is the payment of incomes to its natural and innate owner.

Proof of this is, that if there wasn’t the State aid on the common good in favor of population privation, the true owners who can’t impose power in their terms and values, or even exchange means, would have to offer competitive basic income as an incentive not just to the adherence to the terms to their social contracts, but as counterparts to the voluntary acceptance of free people to their values and exchange means.

If there is anything which is absolutely pathetic in basic income it’s in its lack of independency, it is to ask for who doesn’t have the right to give it nor to deny giving it. The pathetic is the defenselessness; it’s like asking the attacker to please not be on top. Self-preservation rights aren’t free; it is counterpart of the resignation to the natural right to go after self-preservation by all means necessary in favor of the peace state. A peace state that if free from state propaganda and it’s obviously violent monopoly which can only be brought to fruition by the social guarantee of a vital minimum for each person of peace.

Who holds power and the prerogative of coercion will not give anything back which does not belong to them without demanding the perpetuation of political and economic servitude. By returning unconditionally the natural control of things is the same as resigning the usurpation of the peoples self-determination. And the guarantee of unconditional vital means, in other words, without the demand to abide to central power would be the same as liberation. And liberties aren’t given, they’re earned.

It’s not for the liberation or socialization, not for the raise or decrease of the natural rights monopoly that we achieved justice peace and liberty, but for the denationalization and deprivatization of the natural resources and vital means; for the simple and pure restitution of the natural property rights to who in fact belong to: the natural people as individuals with full rights of free association and equal enjoyment on the common good as social dividends.

Democracy much like economic liberty isn’t just the right of choice, but the equal decision of power on common good is given by these basic conditions to make the free will of each person in each negotiation. Free because they are equal in authority and free because they have mutual fundamental liberty equally guaranteed by the enjoyment of this common good.

Yes, it’s by the necessary means and rights guarantee in order to take part in society: the ownership of the properties and vital and basic incomes that support the free time to take care of political and economic business that the human will emancipate and be sovereign on their own particular and common life.

Democracy is both a guaranteed fundamental freedom to basic means in order to define the destiny of their own lives as much as in the taking part in the nation’s decisions as full citizenship: guaranteed basic economic rights; or what is the same thing; the right to in truly participate in the allocation definition of the private and common resources. Less than this isn’t basic income or democracy, but more of the same: bread and circus. Forced labor and political servitude.

Impeachment? Impeachment is not enough. Direct and Economic Democracy.

Govern yourselves.

[1] work positions not persons, titles imposed never human dignity. Who is willing to sacrifice one human being in the absolute holocaust cult to the truth is an necessary worshipper of evil and everything that lacks is the violent supremacy to impose the monopoly over life and the concept of good and the value of all. Who values life, liberation and freedom, abhors the worshipper of evil and the supremacies of this culture of lunatic segregators. The problem isn’t the politics, or the people, but the incidental mentality to the political authority. The problem isn’t the dominators and submissive, but the collective unconscious state of this sadist and masochistic culture of submission and domination. Don’t pray, don’t serve or sacrifice yourself to any all-powerful and total power cult, the temple of necessary evil, disappears first in you then on the rest of the earth exactly as he originated: as a domination myth.
