Our times are heading towards a flash-point on Earth. The flash-point of a fearsome showdown: showdown between those who in pursuit of their greed are determined to squeeze-out of Earth its last resources and those whose very survival would be put in grave peril by such cruel treatment of our planet; between those who, in order to earn more profit, employ technology to automate commodity-production and those who would be reduced to an unemployed and hungry human-mass by such automation; between those whose single-minded devotion to earn more wealth is turning society into stinking and depraved human-mass, and shattering its peace and those who would long for their lost personal peace and beauty of life; between those 1% of humanity who are highly intelligent, united in their loot and wield the technology that can smash popular opposition and those 99% of the remaining humanity who would be helpless in circumstances but a mass of belligerent multitude determined to go to any length.
To avert this showdown - to avert this danger to Earth and humanity - the 99% of humanity who are commoners need to awaken. They need to unite. They need to seize the initiative out of the hands of 1% to set the new agenda of peace, prosperity and justice for all on Earth.
And, they need to do it before it is too late. They need to do it before the modern technology turns their numerical superiority – the only advantage they possess over their rival 1% of humanity – into an irrelevant and redundant factor by the rapid advance of technology.
You – the 99% of humanity – have morality on your side. Your aspirations for peace, prosperity and justice for all on Earth are just. This Earth belongs to you. You have the moral right to set things in their right order on this planet. You have the justification to wrest initiative out of the hands of 1% in the matter of setting an agenda for humanity; you have all the justifications to replace the present agenda of greed of 1% with a better agenda of peace on Earth; and prosperity and justice for all humanity. To fulfill your aspirations, which are the aspirations of humanity, you the 99% of humanity awake! Unite! And, move ahead!
Then, what are the steps required of this mass of 99% of humanity?
Rise above nationalism and unite at global level. In today’s global village, nobody who matters is national. Multinationals – the 1%, your antagonists – are not national; they are national neither in their acts nor in their sentiments. Nationalism is a ruse today by them to keep you divided.
Form local units at national level to coordinate your consultations and actions at the international – the global – level.
Learn, learn and once again learn the cause of your plight; without understanding the cause, one cannot find a cure. Unless you the 99% understand the cause of your plight, there cannot be unity. The unity can be forged on clarity of the goal and of the path to reach that goal.
Learn the rudiments and fundamentals of economics. Economics is all about the production, distribution and consumption of commodities and services by humans; the chronic question of economics – how to make people engage in productive work: engage them by the use of violence in a dictatorial regime or give them freedom to engage by providing an incentive – needs to be answered once again in modern context.
The freedom to engage in work by providing an incentive makes it possible for humans to turn their potential into creativity and is always the best method. But the old incentive for doing work – the incentive to earn profit – is creating havoc on Earth today; and this incentive – the incentive to earn profit - cannot be the only incentive to make people engage in productive work.
On our increasingly more fragile planet, the time to replace this old incentive with some another – socially more benevolent – incentive has come today. Understanding economics is the sole key that unlocks the mystery how our planet is being destroyed by the 1% of humanity.
Learn lessons from the past commotion of human multitude in different countries and the cause of their failure. Occupy Wall Street in the U.S. and elsewhere, Spring Revolution in the Middle East and Anti-corruption Movement of Anna Hazare in India are the social experiments to learn a lesson or two.
Win over to your cause intelligent persons who are good at heart: humane; compassionate; without ill will against anybody; scientists, teachers, students; all those who respect life, living beings, and our planet.
Make your efforts spontaneous, full of love to all and heavily loaded with moral authority and command. Nobody is enemy on our Earth; humanity – Homo sapiens – is one race; humanity has but one interest – an interest that is common to all. It is only the greed and ignorance that make the 1% to lead humanity onto the wrong path. They too need compassion and guidance of the 99%.
No violence! Humanity is intelligent, wise and advanced today. Humanity – at the core of its heart – does not countenance violence. No amount of justification justifies violence. Those who are on the wrong path – your adversary, the 1% - need persuasion of reason and compulsion of circumstances – and not violence - to go along with the rest of humanity. Today violence can bring no solution.
Make the whole exercise an initiative-based voluntary effort. If thought necessary, you may amend or add to this document. Translate this document in the language of your country. Upload this document or its translated copy as a website onto a server (and several mirror servers) located in your country.
Make the websites hosting this document or its translated version to work as blogs and comment sites (like twitter or Face book) for general public. Make these websites work for humanity as a meeting and talking place about their problems and future.
