3.2.3 Association of States
States organize control in their territories to achieve more benefits for the people. However, when such authority does not suit the nature of a society, the states conduct an alienated, autocratic, and authoritative policy. Such a policy creates an irrational and unstable economy for the people, inappropriate and unjust orientation among nations, tensions and risks in relations among the states. As a result, the states are responsible for massive bloodshed in the history of humankind.
The present-day world does not know any model of mutual coexistence that can ensure the prosperity of humanity. On the contrary, the present-day world’s relations are based on a dangerous and ruthless competition of determinations and not on cooperation. The current world policy is creating objective injustices between the states, caused by enormous differences in the level of economic development and in the right to use natural resources. On one side is excessive production, and on the other, scarcity.
The history of humankind recorded some attempts at building a better world through association. In that endeavour, world organizations were established to bring closer states and nations into an interdependent whole that complements. For this reason, the Organization of the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, Interpol, international health organizations, and many others were established. These organizations had to connect the idea of creating a better planet Earth. Moreover, they were supposed to bring benefits due to the greater association of nations, labour and capital, a more substantial production, more incredible wealth and, accordingly, greater welfare. Furthermore, such organizations were supposed to reduce the possibility of an emergence of war conflict between states. However, the result is contrary to expectations. Despite some positive impacts, these organizations are generally used for winning predominance globally and represent a threat to humanity.
However, there is no doubt that the greatest danger in the world arises from the alienation imposed by the authorities. People live in an alienated, selfish, narcissistic world where they form alienated needs. Alienation can deceive an individual into overcoming their impotence before nature, but no activity can realize it, and therefore an alienated individual is generally insatiable and unsatisfied. Non-satisfied alienated needs represent an origin of destructive energy, which daily brings enormous problems to the world. Alienation is a disease afflicting the world, whether rich or poor. Authorities may easily canalize such destructive energy to destroy any of its parts. Of course, the most influenced people worldwide are the most dangerous. As the world has not managed to overcome its alienated orientation, it has not found the base for accomplishing its prosperity.
Today, the world is proud of developing technology and production, but it did not move a single step forward in developing human consciousness. Moreover, people enter a period of significant worldwide degradation of fundamental human values. In this connection, one cannot say that all negative phenomena, destructions, and wars belong to the past. This problem has been raised to a higher level with technology development and is threatening humankind more than ever before.

OK, but what is missing to change the situation? Knowledge is missing! This book presents the knowledge necessary to form a sound and sane society. It will take power away from the authorities and give it to the people. Socialism can efficiently solve all of the aforementioned problems. It respects democracy, human rights, general and special individual interests, past and current labour, and the values emerging from natural constructive interpersonal relations. It prevents the existence of alienation, privileges, hegemony, exploitation, and any form of destructiveness. The new system is so productive and elastic that inhabitants of other states can accept it. Such an act opens up the possibility of the association at the level of states. Once the integration process among the states has started, the associated states at the international level will be just a matter of time.
By associating, the states lose a part of their sovereignty because they assign it to the union of states but also, they realize at the same time new social life qualities. When humankind accepts the described socio-economic system, the world will function as a commune. For the first time, the world will exactly know, at any point in time, how many inhabitants it has and what their individual and collective needs are. For the first time, it will be able to pursue a reasonable, rational policy and satisfy the population’s needs.
In a socialist world, each inhabitant will have the freedom to act on the territory of the whole world. They will have the freedom to choose a place to live and what work to do anywhere worldwide. Freedom will have one limitation. The individual will not be free to cause disadvantages to any member of society. The system will develop very effective protection for everyone from troubles committed by any community member.
Democratic anarchy will allow each inhabitant to assess any convenience or inconvenience they experience from any point in the world. They will do it by making a direct statement in the administrative world centre or its satellite, the commune. The system of assessments can form a completely new system of values in the world, valorize and sanction any disadvantage and reward any advantage that the individual causes to another individual. As such assessments will directly impact an evaluated individual’s income and past labour points, everyone will be responsible before the whole world. They will try to produce the least possible inconveniences and a maximum number of conveniences for the world, thus forming the base of the productive, constructive orientation of the whole world.
The new system envisages direct statements of all world inhabitants about the essential political, economic and other areas of joint interest. In this way, the rules of collective action will be established in a direct democratic way.
The social system would form the world monetary policy and money distribution. The collective money would be directly and democratically earmarked by humankind for the world’s individual spending, collective spending, economic development, and all partial spheres of interest.
The new socialist system introduces in all states a universally established value in the form of the price of labour, which objectively presents the past and current labour values of all workers in the world. Upon such values, all other economic values may be built to establish a just distribution of all forms of conveniences and inconveniences arising from the past and current labour of all workers. Those are precisely the elements missing today to establish a stable, productive economic policy and, therefore, society’s general stability.
The new economic system envisages a worldwide association of the economy into one large enterprise of the world, world leadership, world planning of the production, and world labour distribution according to the principle of free labour competition. The managers of the world will manage the work in the world as a whole rationally and efficiently. That would form high and stable economic productivity that would optimally satisfy the material needs of the entire humankind. Furthermore, the free labour market will abolish work privileges in the world, which will inevitably entail planning production, labour, and wage distribution that optimally suit the interests of all of humankind and each inhabitant.
Such a system will allow each inhabitant to get to know their natural needs through their practice and, in this way, overcome alienation. The possibility of expressing each individual’s direct genuine interest will free the society from alienated ideological, national, religious, cultural, economic and other alienated interests. Individuals will finally have the chance to live their lives fully, and they will not care about alienated values. The nature of the individual is unique to humankind. By bringing the individuals closer to their nature, the conditions will be created to form a harmonious and homogenous social community in the entire world.
Each individual will rely on their forces in meeting their own needs and learn how to form them according to their possibilities of realization. This will represent the basis for meeting needs and, consequently, the constructive orientation of society. The people who permanently satisfy their needs are not destructive. Such a system will form genuine equality among people. In such a world, the narcissistic trait of the character as the chief cause of alienation and conflicts among people will be overcome to the benefit of natural cooperative relations.
The states and nations will no longer be endangered in such a system. It may be expected that the funds intended for armed forces will be abolished by the direct voting of the population, which would disallow the emergence of wars.
The proposed system will form a new consciousness of the individual, new ethics of the society, and new relations in the world. Such a system will enable safety, a convenient existence, and spiritual and material prosperity for all world inhabitants. Shortly, it will form the bright future of humankind. As such a socio-economic system will be directly created by humanity, the state as a form of authoritative pressure over the society will be no longer needed.
