Life Abundant: Capitalism or Communism
In this modern age of capitalism, with money and private property being able to be sequestered and passed on, there is this tendency to equate having lots of money and possessions with life abundant. We have all seen tired old men with wealth married to young attractive wives. Just another possession of the appearance of winning the game of life. Seems off-target.
The world is overly committed to capitalism now that communism has proven to always become an abuse of collectivism by self-serving leadership. Trying to sell the disenfranchised on the communistic redistribution of wealth because it is unfair just makes everyone suffer by shrinking the economic pie. A promised win-win can also pass right over capitalistic win-lose to deliver a communistic lose-lose.
How can there be any victory in life that does not start from the deepest insides and radiate out in waves to all the accessories of life? How can there be a victory of life abundant if the egotistical psychopaths are winning whether at capitalism or communism? The secret that politics obscures is actually open and obvious…in plain sight. The highest form of life abundant where the best collaborators win and the imbalanced are corrected is our own human blueprint. Bioadministration.
A real question that arises from the serious consideration of bioadministration is the maximization of life for one and for all. At the same time. Does the harvest and storage and defense of personal wealth and individual sovereignty serving life’s capacity and capability exceed that of communism and capitalism alone?
A core principle of bioadministration is that complex life has chosen to organize into larger and more specialized agreements for the accumulation of TOTAL wealth. What good is being a billionaire in digital accounting if there is no rule of law or economic system to give meaningful incentive to this idea of “mine”. What good is tearing down any personal incentive structure if it eats away the core idea of individuation? An amoeba is always going to be an amoeba without both organization and separation.
Bioadministration is the application of the highest know reconciliation of both capitalism and communism, of organization and separation, of win-win mastery in a win-lose world. Where our living system adapted to life on Earth is nearly perfected in form, our current political systems are extremely poor attempts to codify the internal harmony of a living being. In the past century, we have seen both extremes of capitalism and communism fail humanity completely. Idealogical communism has slaughtered tens of millions of its own people by its own hand while free market capitalism has left millions of capable humans to starve and die from lack of opportunity.
There needs to be a new objective metric by which to measure and judge our political organizations. Personal wealth of capitalism? Collective capacity of communism? How about life abundant of both together? A family is both a communism within the home while also finding purpose and place in a competitive outer world that curates opportunities of service to the greater organism. A corporation with a soulful purpose and mission can be a win-win if both the lazy laggards and the power-seeking psychopaths can be reformed or expelled. A country of humans can maximize life abundant by shunning either extreme of communism or capitalism while also knowing that we needed to try both of these systems to know their strengths and weaknesses.
Who knows how long it will take for the obvious excesses and imbalances of capitalism to reach the same level of circumspect and disdain that communism has earned? We are obviously in the final phase of being the proverbial Peking duck who is being force-fed with the grain of more and more debt. Except that there is no more “fat” being created. Money is losing its value faster than wealth and harmony is being created. This cannot last.
So I invite my readers to consider the wisdom of a new political pathway already worn and proven to lead to a system of win-win by evolutionary biology. We humans. And bioadministration.
