I think there are two important principles that might guide us building a new, more equal system.

1. Profit in itself is not evil.

2. Changes have to be made using positive motivation, otherwise they will not be sustainable.



1. Working, selling for profit is normal, as long as the product is naturally necessary for the consumers and the price is agreed by mutual consensus.

Neither of those conditions exist today. The refined, "brainwashing" marketing is inventing artificial needs, artificial desires and products and than a "necessity" is implanted into the mind of people who start chasing those artificial, and many times even harmful products.

The price is highly inflated, securing the highest possible profit margin, much higher than it could be agreeable if a true consensus was used. As a result the consumers are forced to work, pay more for goods, products, pleasures they do not even need and they are forced to pay way above their means, pushing them into intolerable debt, thus they become trapped in the system on both ends.

Moreover as others were saying the system is constantly "refined", "adjusted" towards the tip of the pyramid, making the rich richer, and more powerful. Not many western countries even try to pretend that they are not oligarchies, and that democracy and freedom in its classical meaning does not exist. And we can also mention the "money making out of nothing" effect of the stock exchange, investment banking, hedge funds, and the growing number of "virtual wealth making" schemes which have no place in a natural human system.



2. Change is obviously necessary, as the human resources are already exhausted, and even if on paper today there is hardly any need for manual human labor to produce enough necessities for everybody, there is still the pressing question what to do with the potentially unemployed billions of people.

If we also take into consideration that humanity has become a globally interconnected and interdependent system, where everybody is responsible for everybody else while being fully dependent on everybody else, it will become clear the "1%" cannot simply ignore the "99%", since we are all sitting on the same sinking boat.

If a completely new, global, integral "education program" would be implemented for each and every human being, explaining the principles and necessary conditions of a global, integral system, people on both ends of the spectrum could start understanding and implementing the necessary changes leading to a more equal, mutually complementing and most of all sustainable system.

There will still be richer and poorer, everybody receiving according to their contribution to the whole and the effort they had to exert.

Only the artificial extra would be removed in order to make the system work and stay working.

If we don't choose the positive path the negative path, deepening crisis, uprisings, riots, even wars will force us to change as it happened so far during our history. But we have a chance to take "our fate" into our own hands foregoing the negative blows.
