the chariman's plan for world renewal

the mellish plan follows.

the u.s. will cut it's military spending (this goes for the world as a whole) by at least 90%, will close all military bases, and abolish the cia, the fbi, and other instruments of state control. the money saved could then be used to pay reparations to the millions of u.s. war victims, and for badly needed social services at home.

in the 70's, the phrase, "free abortion on demand" took hold. taking it one step further, the mellish government will institute centers which offer free sex on demand. the sex workers, both male and female, will be well paid and receive a fine benefits package. condom use will be mandatory, and undercover security will be present to ensure that no abuse takes place. the centers will feature spacious rooms with central air and heating systems, and comfortable waiting rooms with impressive libraries.

there will be a vast redistribution of wealth. the richest 3 people in the world have more wealth than the poorest 148 countries. their wealth, as well as the wealth of millions of other billionaires and millionaires, will be confiscated by the state and will be put to the creation of housing, health care, education, and other worthy social needs. the richest person will only be able to make four times what the poorest person makes. for example, if the poorest person makes 20 dollars an hour, the richest will be able to make no more than 80 dollars an hour. because of the riches made available due to this vast redistribution of wealth, the average work week will be reduced to 20 hours.

instead of the modern education system, a system of learning centers will be created. for example, if you wanted to learn about music, there would be a center that would have an imposing collection of recordings of all genres of music, books on music, computers enabling you to do research, instruments for practice, and qualified instructors on site. all centers would be free of charge and would offer you the training necessary to become successful in whatever field of knowledge you elect to pursue. these centers would take the place of the modern university, which would be abolished. the modern university acts to indebt thousands of young adults each year who then must spend most of their lives paying off said debt. fuck them. furthermore, mandatory schooling for teenagers will also be abolished.

a process of the socialization of what are now considered personal consumer goods will rapidly begin. no one will be allowed to have more than one car, and no family more than two. the car and oil companies, as well as all giant corporations, will be taken over by the state. with the money saved, a system of well financed public transit would then develop and would be free to encourage its use. in place of the private ownership of cars, there will be car centers where people can pick up a car and use it for the day without charge. there will be other centers, such as computer centers, and free movie theaters, that will encourage people to join with others in social settings to partake in cultural offerings, and that will lessen their need to own computers, dvd's, tv's etc in their own home.

the modern prison system as we know it will be abolished. with the money saved by abolishing this racist, wasteful institution, drug treatment will be available to all drug users otherwise languishing in prison. mental health treatments will be made available to all who need them. and for those who continue to commit violent crimes, they will be separated from the rest of society, but otherwise will be able to enjoy relative freedom and access to most of the things everyone else has access to.

films, art, music, books, and other cultural manifestations will be freed from the corrupting influences of finance. an emphasis on the values of peace, anti-racism, anti-sexism, concern for the environment, the cultures of other countries, and alternative lifestyles will be a central component of the culture. free lectures, films, and musical concerts which stress these values will be integral elements of the dominant culture.

giant hospitals will give way to local health clinics. the clinics will be free and offer comprehensive services. doctors will treat patients in a respectful, human way. doctors who come from the communities they work in and who speak the language of the people in the community, will be the doctors who work in that community. the same will be true of policemen, bus drivers, store owners, and other pillars of the community. this will lead to a continuity of relationship, will build respect among all, greatly lesson police brutality and general distrust, and lead to an integrated community.

fielding has more ideas, but he believes this to be a fine start. the chairman has spoken, and now, he will take a seat.
