Depressions, recessions, and involuntary unemployment and poverty cannot be possible in the Economic Democracy proposed in the PFANS program.
Why? Simple, logical economics based on production of goods and services will be owned and controlled by We, the People.
Would We will ourselves to be jobless, penniless, impoverished?
The economic mechanics of production for our societal and individual use will eliminate the wasteful overproduction which is the result of competing corporations competing for the same, limited consumer dollar, hence, overproduction, warehouses filled with unsold goods, and the firing of workers no longer needed because the goods remain unsold.
In the sensible PFANS construct, consumer surveys will determine which goods and services are needed and wanted. Community input through Community councils represented in the Commonwealth Coordinating Congress, will establish priorities which will be expedited by the specific industrial technologies geared to service our needs and wants. In the process, no waste, no overproduction, no exclusion of any labor needed for production in other socially necessary areas where new constructs and/or extended maintenance is needed and ongoing…, such as community infrastructures such bridges, roads, energy conduits, public recreational and cultural facilities.
Our goal is to achieve a genuine democracy in our civic and work place governments, in order that we have the empowerment to determine the best ways to serve ourselves, and our society. When this is achieved, and it can only be done by You and me, along with our majority electorate citizenry, today’s anarchistic, self centered, corporate profit goals will no longer control our social production. This will end capitalism’s obstructions to our deserved life in a society of peace and prosperity.
When We do the right things today, when we organize and change this system, today’s depressions and recessions and periodic corporate wars will no longer not imperil our future generations with the same economic and social stresses we today endure.
