[JUST BEGINNING CONSTRUCTION]
There should be a distinction made between human beings simply existing in a community that do not contribute and human beings that actively contribute to their community structure. Maybe call them "citizens" and "civilians" as they did in the movie Starship Troopers.
What do I see as the most basic human rights?
Right: Access to knowledge of the world they are a part of.
How Right is Enforced: Nation wide internet access.
Right: A potential to fill any available niche in society; everyone should at least have a chance to achieve their dreams.
How Right is Enforced: Every person should be given the resources they need to reach a point where the majority of their peers can sustain themselves. There should be a point of evaluation, say 95% of the population at age 25; call this the age of adulthood.
Right: The ability to influence the rules that govern them.
How Right is Enforced: Every adult (everyone over the age of adulthood) should be able to make their voice heard on any issue.
Right: The ability to defend one's self.
How Right is Enforced: Every adult should be armed or have access to arms. There would obviously be basic competency classes in weapon handling.
More thoughts: The fact is that if everyone is armed, there literally is no way to forcibly control all of them. I think this is important; it provides the ability to forcibly splinter off and form a separate society if needed.
- Why not have a segmented, but intermingled, society? Could a co-mingled money system lead to this? We are moving more and more to electronic money tracking, so there really is not an issue. You can have say "democrat" dollars and "republican" dollars; the citizenship of an individual to differing communities could be determined by the number of dollars they possess within that community.
What do I see as earned rights?
Right: Education.
How Right is Earned: Participating in the education process; mixed grades on different days where odd numbered grades help teach the grade below them on (e.g.) MW and even numbered grades help teach the grade below them on TR. Fridays could be spent with classes progressing on their own (or maybe do topics appropriate for a mixture of 4 grades).
How Right is Enforced:
Right: Food.
How Right is Earned: Work on government farms for F years after the age of adulthood.
How Right is Enforced: Anyone who has worked on the government farms has access to government farm goods. These goods are distributed to major grocery store chains. The distribution cost should take into consideration: effectively free advertising for the store, cost of housing, cost of transportation, ...
- advertising: ?
- transportation: The cost of shipping the goods would need to be covered. Shipping goods would involve private industry, so I think it would be fair that they are treated as
- housing: Goods are shipped every X days, and any goods left over from the previous shipment past those X days are free to be sold for profit for the store. Stores should be encouraged to price fix on these to try to get the most profit profitable (maybe have a website for it or something).
Right: Property.
How Right is Earned: Property is anything bought with money; money is still earned in the traditional sense.
How Right is Enforced:
Right: Personal security.
How Right is Earned:
How Right is Enforced:
Right: Property security.
How Right is Earned:
How Right is Enforced: People have the right to defend their property, and to ask for government assistance if desired.
What do I see as things every citizen has a right to?
- A healthy existence: nutritious food, access to medical care
- Propagation of mental self: freedom of speech/communication, access to communication with the world outside of the community they live in (e.g. internet and phone access)
How does one earn citizenship?
Through contributing to the society they are a part of.
was an inborn right in the past, I am not sure that this is still appropriate for the times we live in.
