Peace Ism Manifesto
Peace Ism Manifesto
Peace Ism is a way of living that allows people to be able to understand the importance of generosity and love. In our current system, there is so much emphasis on materialism and competition that people aren’t able to truly be kind and generous towards each other. Our current society defines a successful person by how many material possessions they amass in their lifetime. In our current social system, ‘successful’ people go to college so they can get a large house, purchase a nice car, and buy expensive technological gadgets. By eliminating money and providing people with self sustaining farms, competition will be exchanged for generosity. Peace Ism encourages people to withdraw themselves from materialistic possessions so that they can live a freer life. For Peace Ism followers, money will not define success, instead the most successful people will be the ones who can give the most back to their community and be generous.
The economy of a Peace Ism community will have no currency involved. People will live on self sustaining farms, so they will be able to support themselves. This will allow the country as a whole to be self sufficient. Farms producing extra goods will be expected to give the extra to the government, who will distribute it to people who need more or cannot support themselves, or trade to outside communities for goods that can not be produced inside the country. People will be encouraged to leave behind material possessions, because for Peace Ism followers material possessions will not define success.
Peace Ism followers will support a very minimal government. The government will be made up of elected officials who are interested in leadership positions. People who are interested in being part of the government will be encouraged to go to college and become a professional first. There will not be one leader, instead many representatives from each community will have regular meetings and discuss issues that may arise. The government of a Peace Ism community will not have any army or military, instead they will communicate with other communities in forms of discussions or debates. The main purpose of the government will be to effectively communicate with surrounding communities to keep the people safe. The government will also be responsible for making sure everyone in their community is happy and healthy. To obtain goods that are not able to be produced inside the community, the Government will be responsible for trading extra goods for the needed ones, such as building materials or medicines.
Most of the emphasis in a Peace Ism community will be on social aspects, such as personal well being. Because there will be free unlimited education, people will have to choose one or more careers and study to become a professional. Then, because people will not be paid to work, it will be recommended that they work three or four days a week. The rest of the time they will be managing their self sustaining farm. Groups of about five families live on each farm, so not everyone will be needed to work the farm every day, allowing people to work in schools, hospitals, or veterinary offices a few days a week. For Peace Ism followers, no weapons will be allowed for personal use or for use by the government. Everyone following Peace Ism will be vegetarians. Being vegetarians will lower the amount of work needed to run the farms because people would not need to care for livestock. People will be allowed to keep animals for milk or eggs on their farm, but there will be very strict rules about animal cruelty.
If we are ever going to achieve world peace, we need to start following Peace Ism guidelines. We will be able to to find world peace by starting with small actions of kindness and generosity towards each other. Finding internal peace is the first step towards world peace. Join Peace Ism and do your part to change the world for the better.
