News from the UK. A variety of ideas and causes are presented here: we encourage these people to have a look at our proposals. Viewers will be able to see the various subtle ways the British system is and is not like the American version, but it's the same basic administrative / commercial / communitarian law system, with the same basic outlines of the problems covered that should be understandable to any English speaking people around the world (Canada, Australia and New Zealand all face something similar) and these should be of considerable concern to everyone else as well, as the entire world right now is infected by the same economic diseases, all stemming from the same sources and causes. Everything these documentaries cover is of relevance to the formation of a viable Value Exchange Network (VEN).
We
are certainly heartened to see the interest in an alternative
monetary system to the national or “public” money and its banks,
and we note that the same ideas “complementary, for now,” have
occurred to some of the people there. However, we would like to
acquaint our friends and neighbours around the world with our
proposals, based on the work of E. C. Riegel and others, as we
believe that it serves to answer many important issues that our
friends in Britain (and elsewhere) may greatly benefit from adopting.
A paper on The Lawful Bank, TAMS proposal appears here.
A
community trust solution sounds to us like statism without a state.
We want allodial title; ownership
of real
property
(land, buildings and fixtures)
that is independent of any superior landlord, to
apply to all private property, not the chance to join a “sweat
equity” commune so as never to have to deal with money and finance
ever again. Many things about this turn us off, but we are
particularly disgusted with being forced to accept the concept of
“unconditional love,” which is an irrational illusion that does
not and shall not exist and is furthermore quite irrelevant to most
people's lives.
A
community trust attempts to do what it does without money, falling
into the trap that most people believe money in and of itself is
evil, when the Bible said that it is the love
of money that was the root of all evil and that applies to gold as
well. The “free of charge for free of charge” exchange plan
requires the imposition of “leaders” when money performs this
service naturally. There are easy ways in which corruption can be
eradicated from a monetary system by simple design and by policy
exclusions; certain practices are simply not allowed. You break the
rules and you're out! Our message is that MONEY = FREEDOM and that
money issuance is a natural extension of each person's personal property by
inalienable right. Why on earth would we ever want to give that up
to some people Ayn Rand would easily identify as “hate eaten
mystics' who perhaps rightfully hate the present system but do not
have the slightest concern or understanding of the requirements and
necessity for personal individual liberty. Deny that to anyone and
you expect people to be slaves to someone.
We
do not agree with the views of all the people interviewed. In
particular, we discard as complete rubbish ANY ideas that try and
explain away the right of private allodial title land ownership as a
basis for freedom. We do NOT extend this right to limited liability,
absentee ownership, so called “public” corporations, which are
all the creatures of states. Without private property rights, there
is likewise no freedom for the individual and the opportunity opens
immediately for some leadership tyranny to emerge; state or other
communitarian authoritarianism. Always run don't walk away from
people advocating such colossal rubbish !
Here
is nearly six hours of this documentary series:
Episode
1 Part 1 [1 hour, 42 min]
Episode
1 Part 2 [1 hour, 42 min]
Episode
1 Part 3 [1 hour 42 min]
And
here's a site that certainly deserves your support, particularly if
you live in the UK.
