Human beings are all inherently equal, and we need a social system which respects this truth and moves us to continually elicit substantive and formal equality. Equality is an outcome and a process.
Equality should mean we are all more and more equal in talent, health and wealth. Equality should mean continually better equal opportunity and not merely in one’s wealth but in sharing the empowering labour, and an equal say in one’s workplace and in political participation, including directly voting on economic production and decision making in consumer councils for socialising demand for goods and services in a more informed manner.
The citizenry will be empowered to vote on ‘ideas’, products and services, and research and development in a more informed manner, the more we as a people are committed to quality life-long multi-disciplinarian tertiary education scholarship.
No one is better than anyone else. To think so is an alienating form of ‘false consciousness’. We must seek to rehabilitate those of us afflicted by the sickness that comes with social, political and economic exploitation and start caring for one another and cooperating to the full extent.
We have enormous latent ability to cooperate and care for one another. Let’s unleash this beast!
