Let’s prevent corruption
When I start a discussion about my system with people, I most often hear complaints that Paradise on Earth is impossible because individuals are weak and like to corrupt or be corrupted. Corruption creates immoral, destructive relations in society, which prevents society from being good. Corruption is a poison in every society.
But when is a person weak? They are weak when they cannot satisfy their needs. They cannot meet their needs in a closed and alienated society where privileges rule, such as the one we live in today. Privileges give a person power over people, and that corrupts. Privileges are the nests for corruption. In the world of privileges, one cannot get what one needs unless one is servile to privileged people or corrupts them. That is wrong.
In the system I have proposed, power over people will not exist; there will be no privileged people either, so that corruption will disappear as well. Everyone who does not meet their needs at work will receive negative evaluations from an unsatisfied person. These evaluations will be as influential as needed for the system to function correctly. Therefore, everyone will try hard to please others as much as possible without resorting to corruption.
Furthermore, the new system offers open competition for every work post in public companies. No one’s public work post will be privileged anymore. If a person at his workplace does not meet someone’s needs, he or she may be replaced by someone more satisfied and productive. No one could benefit from privileged status in society. No one would control other people or assets that belong to society. Why would corruption exist when no one could achieve privileged status and power in society? Besides that, in such a community, no one would be weak, and corruption would have no reason to exist.
Work competition is probably the most challenging part of the system I have proposed, but it is far from impossible. It will bring better productivity than capitalism can, so that it will send capitalism down in history. Work will become a value in itself, and people will enjoy working. The job market will make all jobs equally in demand. Life in such a system will bring disalienation; it will show where real values are. Such a system will undoubtedly stop corruption. The benefits the new system will bring to society are practically unlimited. You may find more about it in my book The Humanism. The system is entirely new, so it might not be easy to implement, but there is no other good way. We have to go this way if we want to build a beautiful future for humankind.
