Strategic Plan - Proposition for the Democratic Party
This is an unprecedented opportunity to address broken and failing systems in order to rebuild and create another vision of our United States of America that actually works for the people. This will require thinking outside the box and a lot of collaboration.
This will require a large-scale commitment to address the foundation of our society; how we measure progress through our economy. We will no longer base our national success on destruction and illness but on creating a system that provides satisfaction for all of our citizens, on each person’s unalienable right to pursuit life, liberty, and happiness, as stated in our constitution. We will measure our success by an economy based on a regenerative, circular market, putting the health of our planet and the physical, mental, and spiritual sustainability of living creatures in the center.
This will require a new, transformative and expansive vision. The mistakes that have led us to the sorry state of our promising democracy, is nothing less than the failure of imagination; we have not envisioned what kind of leaders we need to respect us, to respect the world, to respect the planet. We have not continuously applied our creativity to how our political system can work for the people. We have not applied our will or ingenuity to creating a society that is based on what makes humanity work – a just government and economic reciprocity.
The US has had at least one consistent quality that has made it strong: innovation. Innovation is the only way to prevent further climate catastrophes, wars, and inhumane exploitation. And it should not be the sole tool of industry for capital. Therefore, the U.S. going forward will encourage creativity, experimentation and research in technology, the arts, medicine, diplomacy, and governance. We will make it easier for those in these fields to develop without the undue expectations of private funding so they can more effectively benefit our wounded society.
We can no longer think merely in terms of what is best only for one country with the occasional exception; our success – that of each and every one of us - depends on global success. In our modern world, it is crystal clear that what happens over there is felt here - and vice versa. Inequity and human rights issues are affecting and tormenting people all over the world. Megalomaniacs aren’t content to contain their devastating rampages to one territory; their backwards narcissistic compulsions to rape and plunder affects everyone around the world.
Our current economy is global. Our immigration issues are all based on global inequities. Our climate crisis isn’t contained to any particular region. Cyber and AI threats are without boundaries, as are pollution and food and water insecurity. Multi-national players and private equity are seizing assets and control all around and from under our very feet. We must now more than ever work with peoples from all nations, not by violence or coercion to manipulate, exploit, and extract resources from other countries but we absolutely must collaboratively work with those who have good ideas and the will to better serve general humanity. We will share what we learn and work across nations so that all may thrive, and our country will be better and safer for it.
I propose that we foster a flourishing culture while protecting the rights of every person and the right to a healthy environment. We must put humanity at the center of every effort, including how we address the dangers of AI to our natural resources, our workforce, our children, and especially the critical importance of humanity to simply survive.
It’s time for the United States to transform into a country that is correcting itself and its past errors to finally and earnestly work for harmony at home and for international respect. Reparations for slavery and for the unjust treatment of indigenous tribes must be immediate and satisfactory to those who have been harmed. Freedom, legal assistance and reparations for illegal seizures of immigrants must be hastened. Reparations to women that have been unjustly harmed by laws and institutions on account of their gender must be a priority. Enough is enough of bad behavior being perpetrated, supported, condoned, or ignored by the United States government. The line must be drawn now.
As is found in spiritual and wisdom teaching through the ages, we humans are not here to merely scrape by, joylessly surviving through an increasingly apocalyptic landscape. The soul of humanity encompasses the intangibles, like beauty, truth, stewardship, kindness, intuition, connection, and creativity. These are the things that give us humans meaning. Hence, we will use as a guide the ancient ethic of reciprocity, or Golden Rule, to protect our best way of life. We will remind humans of their basic humanity, as well, by insisting on a fair society from the top down and the bottom up, including encouraging good manners and good will.
I propose the following plan for federal, state, and local Democratic parties to work in cooperation with communities, civic organizations, and businesses. The first six items are highest priority as there are the following emergencies we must deal with in the United States to stabilize our country; Economy, Democracy, Climate Change, AI threats, Food, and Humanitarian issues. Our next presidential candidate must be willing to use executive orders as necessary, as these are human, and national, existential emergencies.
