The
problem in present day economies
and
politics is inequality, huge gap between rich and poor, which is often the reason for collapse of economy and society, and social
unrest.
More
equal societies do always better
If
the ownership and accumulation by rich people is taken downwards and
at same time the livelihood of the suffering
and neglected people in society are raised on higher level – thus
the gap reduced – then the economy and society can go better
forward. This is how it used to be in Northern countries decades ago.
Now it is getting only worse all the time, everywhere.
Prout
will reduce inequality,
the gap between rich and poor. Individual needs should not damage
others and the collective needs. Prout will
create
local economic democracy. When there is equality, people are able to
buy more what
they need.
Internationally
has to be created
self reliant economic zones. Countries can’t trade natural resources and whatever they have, if they allow, the other countries with advanced technology will
exploit and wars will follow. Japan sent a lot of its products
out, but when China took the business over, Japan had to concentrate
to its own business. Japan realized paying better
to workers, they will buy more products.
Neoliberalism
has taken down social services and
wages and makes competitive with other countries. Very
poor countries will get better if no competition. In
1980 there was small inequality, but then the gap has increased. Same
is happening in all capitalist countries. The smaller gap the
more healthy, happy people, even the rich feel better. The more
equality the more strong growth. Greenland is still having less
inequality. In Nordic countries due to people being rich, taxation is
high, so rich people avoid paying taxes by what ever means, moving
money to other countries etc.
How
to reduce inequality? Prout would limit
the gap by quarantining basic needs with employment. Purchasing power would be guaranteed. Like in Finland, lots of people get money without
working, but they should get only in case of permanent health issues or at old age. Then there has to be sealing for
income, and accumulation
should be limited. There can be some
gap, difference on salaries, according
the persons special capacity, sincerity and needs. Surplus has to be
given to talented, hard working. After basic things are shared,
salaries can be
increased. Communism gave same to all, which made them less active.
According
statistics in the world, top
10 % own 80 %. While 70 % of
population share 2 % of wealth. So most wealth is concentrated on few
people’s hands in the world.
Prout
has 3-tier system; 1.
Small-Scale Private Enterprises, 2. Cooperatives, 3. Key Industries
(Public Utilities)
Local
small business can
be owned privately, but if it gets too profitable, it has to be
changed into co-operative, where all
workers are owners of the company. When
workers are the managers, they don’t fire each other, but reduce
working time. AI would be just good
in Prout co-operative reducing every ones working time.
Although
there are already
co-ops in Finland, but the
workers don’t own the companies, so due to AI, the managers lay out
workers and get themselves most of the profits. Unemployment
in Finland is 11 %. Commonly
in capitalism the new AI
technologies reduce workers.
Large
scale key industries (especially
infrastructure), should be owned by government. Government can put
these industries in countryside, on underdeveloped areas. Local level
economy is important. Capitalism locates everything in big cities, so
countrysides become empty. When big rich companies manufacture
expensive products in big cities,
which poor people has no money to buy, these companies cut their own
throats. Capitalism will burn like fire cracker.
Economic
power should
not be led to the hands of government and
rich companies. Venezuelan oil is not benefiting its people, it is
benefiting rich leaders and countries,
China, USA. At some point
Trump sent USA jobs to China, now USA people are suffering. America first is
America worst. Due to globalization, multinationals have no limits.
Internationally some countries are threatening others, taking over,
manipulating with money, these are the superpowers the empires. Prout
is to make whole world self reliant, one country grows apples,
other country grow bananas, they exchange, barter trade.
Prout
is a special socio-economical model,
it includes Prama, concept of balance, equipoise; physical, mental
and spiritual. From 5 fundamental principles of Prout, three of them
talk about proper utilization of physical, mental and spiritual
propensities. Spirit of neohumanism is included to Prout. Proutist mind
set and spiritual values, with universal love, creates Prout
actions. Universe is a joint family – if one is rich and
others suffer – there is no proper social behavior. Young people are more spiritual, wanting
change, I started Prout Youth federation in Denmark. There is also
farmers federation.
Prout and
historical
circle; Rotation
of power has
been going on by
different
classes
dominating
in a particular time. In
ancient
times people were mainly kind of hunter gatherers,
mainly
just
feeding themselves. After, a
class of warriors arose dominating
the
society.
Next
the intellectual class started to dominate society; the educated,
priests
and
statesmen. At
present time we have merchant
class
dominating the other
classes. They
control
and
exploit the
people,
resources,
and wealth. Eventually
there would be rebellion, and the cycle would start from the
beginning again, but at this time the people are more awakened
and will start to demand so
called sadvipras
to
lead the society. Those
sadvipras
have qualities
of
all four classes, so
they don’t allow any class to exploit others.

Didi; I
was also asked how Prout will be established. I answered; A quiet
awareness and meditation revolution is going already on in the world.
More and more people are aware of injustices and start fighting for
righteousness, and meditating people are loosing their interest for
materialism and accumulation of wealth, rather they become concerned
about welfare of everyone and eventually they start demanding and
voting righteous, moral leaders. While Prout is based also on
spiritual values, that time people will be ready to accept the
ideology of Prout and their sadvipras, the spiritual revolutionaries.
