Let’s Change:

The Steps to Create our TRUE Free Market Society

What are the logistics for transitioning from our toxic, combative system to a new one of collaboration, peace and health?

  1. We come together and identify ourselves as people who want to build a new society.  We represent ourselves as people wanting to found a new society by wearing the Phoenix as a pin, sticker, hat, shirt… Anyone who wants to develop this new society can gather every Saturday morning at 11 am local time at your local park or in online communities.  Once we have enough people aligned with wanting change, ideally 60% of any given neighborhood and community, then we align on a date to act.  We commit to maintaining peace,calm and stability during this time of change.

  2. We pick a date and stop paying for anything.  This has to be done en mass and at a coordinated time frame.  We cannot loot or take more than we need.  We maintain our normal daily routines and habits except we don’t use money for transactions.

  3. People in jobs that service a money based society will stop working those jobs and move to a vocation or begin training for a vocation that services the continued functioning of society. 

  4. The roles that service the health and well being of society become well staffed.

  5. We setup the goods sharing infrastructure.  Everyone will post anything they have that can be used by someone else to Craigslist.  We build our “library” of goods initially from what we have.  This library will be expanded to include newly manufactured goods as the people in charge of making and distributing those goods add them into the online library in Craigslist.  “How to” guides create goods will also be posted on Craigslist, so people who had been working in jobs that maintained an economy based society can move to creating goods needed locally.  

  6. We setup the food availability system.  Again we would use Craigslist to let people find the food they need as well as local Farmers Markets.  People who have stopped working in jobs that service an economy based society ideally would move to creating and managing food first.  People would make food, keep what they need, and then make everything else available to the public.  We would share plans on who can create what.  Steps on how to garden different kinds of food will be published on Craigslist.

  7. We setup the housing availability system.  People would post on Craigslist places that are vacant and people in need of housing would fill those vacancies.  This may include buildings that were formally occupied by people in economy based jobs.  They can be used as temporary housing while proper residences are being built.  People who had been working in jobs that maintained an economy based society can move to vocations of creating and repairing housing for themselves and other people in need.

  8. We provide medical care.  People will see their existing care teams, waiting for appointments or doing walk in care as they do now.  People who formerly worked in jobs that serviced an economy based society can train up to be a medical care provider.  The tests and training to ensure people have the correct skills needed to do the work competently will remain intact.

  9. We provide transportation.  People with vehicles will share them with people in need if there isn’t a public vehicle available to help people in need.  Bikes and scooters will be out everywhere for anyone to use.  People who currently operate public transportation will continue to do so.  People who worked in a job that maintained the economic society will train to be able to add into the staffing for these teams.  The tests and training used to ensure people are able to operate vehicles safely will remain intact.  

  10. Once we have established a foundation of meeting our basic needs without money we then optimize to staff the amusement, arts and entertainment industry.

  11. We won’t make any changes to existing public lands.  Maintaining and protecting nature is critical to a healthy society.   

  12. We setup a voting system for any proposed changes to infrastructure.  We can initially use a Google Form and post it to Craigslist.  We can push notifications via the established local emergency outreach systems to let everyone in the affected area the proposal is up for a vote.  Ultimately there will be a formal voting website created and we can set the first Wednesday of every Month as voting day.  Anyone who wants to propose a change would have it listed by then and everyone would know to go check the site for proposed changes on that day.  No change can happen without 80% of the impacted community members voting and the item needs to pass with a 60%.  For example if the community of Beverly Hills wants to convert their electrical system from primarily coal based power to hydro/solar/wind/ geothermal based power someone in the town would put the plan up for a vote.  Everyone who lives in the community would get a notification on their phone that the change is up for a vote.  Once 80% of the people notified have responded and 60% agreed with making the change then the work to make the change would begin.  If 60% of the people did not agree then no change would take place for the community.  People could still individually put solar/wind/geothermal/hydro power generation systems in their residence but could not put them in public space.

Change logistics stated in another way:

Ideally we have the new rule in place and then we stop using money. Ideally our existing government leaders and owners would enable the development of this new society to optimize change management.  If they didn’t we can still make it happen. 

People working in a role that maintains the economic structure stop and train to fill a new role either as an apprentice in their desired vocation through an existing formal training program or both. 

The people who work in jobs that allow the economic structure to exist would abandon their posts.  The people who send bills would stop sending bills. The people who turn off utilities would leave them on. The people who arrest people for failure to pay or evict people or theft would not arrest anyone.  Anyone with any kind of job related to money transactions or legally enforcing economic transactions would no longer do that work.  

Maintain calm and stability.  Everyone would still live in their home and drive their car and get food and take showers and be able to see a doctor. The people whose jobs are to create and maintain utilities, provide healthcare, transport goods, create and transport food, distribute food - they would keep doing their jobs.  They would do so without receiving payment, they would just do it because their work allows everyone to live.  

The people who are newly available for alternate vocations would start to learn a new role, training for one of the roles people are currently working in to keep society going.  The people that educate and train for the careers needed to make society function would open their classrooms or the online learning curriculum to people in need of a new skill set.  People would train up and then join the teams of people who have been keeping society going while the former financial people were learning.  

These people would then start working and the people who had been working would get a break and not work for as long as it took for the financial people to start working again.  Then people would develop a staffing system within each essential role that would ensure adequate coverage as well as adequate time to live.  

People train and register for new vocations as applicable. 

People operate in their new vocations and everyone has a quality life void of manufactured oppression.  

Plan Overview:

  1. We get rid of all money systems - no more ownership, no more bank accounts, no more bills.  People no longer live to acquire and hoard this imaginary master.  We just live.  Everything initially stays the same with the difference being people who work in vocations necessary for people to live will continue go to work to do their part to keep society functioning.  No more bills. We keep what we have, use what we need and work to fill deficits for those without.

  2. There will be A LOT of people who had careers based in maintaining the current monetary system. With the loss of the monetary system there will be open opportunity for them to do something new.  People finding a new vocation may cause anxiety, but that will be short lived. People will feel excited and engaged to find new ways to create life for themselves and society.  Everyone will need to migrate into vocations that will ensure the lives of all humans.  People that had been in sales, banking, money management, legal, billing, ownership… will retrain to do something in the new system: 

    1. utilities generation and management

    2. food generation and management

    3. infrastructure creation and repair

    4. medical care

    5. transportation creation and management

    6. clothing and goods creation and management

    7. caregiving

    8. entertainment creation and management

    9. the new industry of societal coordination

  3. There are dozens of jobs within each industry that will need to be filled - ideally the existing staffing for items a to h are at least doubled which will allow for everyone to only have to work half a year since the existing staffing ensures the work is covered for an entire year.

  4. There is no more money so there is no barrier to education so anyone can be trained on how to do anything.  Since there is no more money the training and onboarding processes will completely transform.  Aptitude assessments will exist to help guide people to the role where they will be happiest and have the greatest impact. People can shadow any job in any industry and see if it is how they feel they are best able to contribute and participate. Organizations will have no barrier to exposing and training interested people.  Most people will know themselves and what vocation(s) will best match their skills and personality. People needing guidance on what to do can get it from Vocation Counselors, formerly known as Career Counselors or Life Coaches.

  5. There will be a need for the people who know how to do the existing vocations that enable life to exist to keep doing them while the people migrating to a new vocation are able to train.  The people that make insulin, for example, everyone will still do their work there - not because they are getting an individual award but because they have the skill to provide that need for society which they are happy to create because someone else is providing lumber while someone else is paving roads while someone else is producing food…  They want, and need, all the things people with different skills and aptitudes can create and so they will create what they can to enable everyone else to benefit from their product as well.

  6. We develop the new rules that will enable the new societal structure to function.  Suggestions are outlined above and feel free to add in your thoughts on rules in a new society in the comments. New rules would be decided by votes.  People who did not want to live in a free and healthy society can be given land to live by their own rules.

  7. We use the existing free marketplace sites such as Facebook and Craigslist to post available goods.  While the society managers are working to get the supply chain and logistics systems combined and functioning we would provide people in need with the items we have available.  One site would be maintained as the global resource sharing site where anyone can search for anything they need from dresses to homes and all available goods will be posted.  Like the library, registries of who has taken what - if inventory starts to get low a message would be sent out for any users of said item who doesn’t need it to bring it in and also an order for new items would be sent to the manufacturer.  The algorithms that have been created to know us will be adapted to ensure needs are met and inventories are maintained at a healthy level. 

  8. Existing manufacturing and production systems would continue based on the product they are creating.  If they are making items used to maintain infrastructure, household daily life, medical care, transportation… they would keep creating the goods they are making.  Demand would determine if a good should still be produced and in what volume.  In the new Free Market society we now share things and no one is profiting from unnecessary consumption. The manufacturing requirements may reduce, allowing the same staff to work less or move into a new vocation.  Since there is no money there is no value in doing something cheaply.  Instead of goods being manufactured with a low quality by people you can pay nothing to, items would move to being created where there was the least impact to overall resource utilization.  Food wouldn’t be grown thousands of miles away where land was cheap, it can be grown locally.  True innovation and optimization would be available in this new model as there is only benefit to making things better as optimization aids us all.

  9. Inventory systems would be in place to ensure there are always enough of anything so people can have access.  Theft wouldn’t exist, because everything is available to anyone.  The expectation would be if someone needs something they get it from the “Store” and not take it from someone else who is using it - but if someone took something someone else was using then that person can simply go to the store to replace it. 

  10. People would register for the homes, cars and anything else they are using and there would be a roster of items that are available.  Whatever people have when the new system begins is yours still.  The home or homes you and your family live in will remain in your occupation and utilization unless or until you want to make it available by posting it to the applicable availability roster.  There will be availability rosters for housing, modes of transportation, goods.  People will then sign up to use or occupy anything that is on a roster.  Matches will be made based on need first.  For example if a home is available and a family would like to occupy it as an additional residence to their primary residence they could only do so if no one who needs a primary residence wants to occupy it.  The same would be true for cars, boats etc… Everyone would have their needs met first and then people can sign up to be users of additional items on a first come first serve basis.  Ideally no one would sign up as an occupant of a space they were not going to use at least 50% of the time but people would be allowed to.  There is no benefit to hoarding space you’re not actively using. Homes would be created if there is a deficiency.  Spaces would be categorized as a private occupancy space or a shared/public occupancy space.  For example homes would mostly be categorized as a private occupancy space where people would live daily for years or decades as it suited them.  Shared/Public occupancy spaces would be spaces that people would register to use for short periods of time such as a vacation or a trip - like hotels, motels or “Airbnbs”.  People would register to occupy a public occupancy space denoting their utilization purpose: pleasure, work, visiting or emergency issue.  Emergency issues would get booked over anything else, then work, visiting and pleasure.  The inventory management system would keep all shared occupancy locations at 85% booking availability for visiting and pleasure, always leaving 15% unoccupied so work and emergencies can be accommodated hopefully without interfering with travel plans.  This same model would be applied for all modes of transport, eateries and healthcare facilities.

  11. Managers and people would register for work to be done - facility maintenance or construction.  Work would be done in the order the request was received, unless there would be efficiency in grouping some work together that may require some earlier requests to wait a bit longer.  Also work would be done based on urgency - someone with no functioning plumbing would get plumbing services over someone looking to make an enhancement - for example.

  12. The registration systems would ensure all people with needs are met first before optimizations are made.  All needs are met before desires are fulfilled.

  13. The laws would obviously change as well.  Ideally most of the laws in existence now would no longer serve to exist. We would do an audit and determine ”Does this law truly enable a free and healthy human? Or does it not?” We don’t own things so there can be no theft.  Items and experiences would exist if someone wants to create them and people are allowed to engage in experiences and substances assuming the engagement isn’t inherently or potentially hurtful to others.  There is no reason to be violent against another human.  We have what we need so the drive to be violent due to being without would be gone. There would be no need for weapons or wars - everyone is allowed to live as they are.  People can create communities and leave communities as suits them.  No one owns anything, people are using spaces or they aren’t.  If people want to be in a space then they can be there.  If someone wants to pray to a christian god and someone else jewish prayers and someone else muslim - they can all do what they want.  If people want to wear makeup, dresses, suits, be naked, have surgical alterations to their body… communities can exist allowing everyone to thrive.  Personal aesthetics do not cause harm.  My neighbors party like rock stars next door to me and I don’t like it.  I can move.  Every community is a good community.  Every home is a good home.  All of earth is for all of us.
