PEER GYNT SAID:
POVERTY AS A SYSTEMIC
CRIME AND TYRANNY
--------------------------------
1. Poverty is at a high percentage
And many people
Understand it as
A result of meritocracy
------------------------------------------------
2. So society tries to solve it
Through the mercy of charity
But poverty
Is not solvable by charity
Neither it is entirely true
That it is a result
Of meritocracy
---------------------------------------------------------
3. If at a hundred people
You give each a thousand dollars
And a pair of fair dices
To play blindly for a week
At the end of the week
More than 80% of the total money
Would be concentrated
In less than 20% of them
And a high percentage
Would be moneyless
In poverty.
Fair money accounting transactions
Could never guarantee
A fair distribution
Of money
In the society
---------------------------------------------
4. Even if each one of us
Who make the society
Were clone copies
Of the same person
Still a high percentage
Would be in poverty
Because it is the
Statistical inevitable
and certain result
of the rules, institutions
and laws of the system
---------------------------------------------------
5. Deterministic causality and certainty
At the micro-scale
Of the individual
Is different from the
Statistical seemingly random
Causality and certainty
At the macro-economic scale
If the Pareto rule holds
in other words
More than 80% of the
wealth, resources use and power,
is conentrated
in less than 20% of the population
then also
More than 80% of the
present state of the society
has its causes
in less than 20% of the
upper society population
clearly a non-democratic situation
If the Pareto rule holds
in other words
More than 80% of the
wealth, resources use and power,
is conentrated
in less than 20% of the population
then also
More than 80% of the
present state of the society
has its causes
in less than 20% of the
upper society population
clearly a non-democratic situation
--------------------------------------------
6. So given that the system
Is such that
As in the game
Of Russian roulette
It is statistically certain
That at the end of the decade
A gigh percentage
Would be in poverty
Which is even more clear
During the banking
Economic crises
That are created by the system
Who among the good people
Would like to feel responsible
In the bad joy
Of such a system crime?
------------------------------------------------
7. The economic problems of survival
are unsolvable for the majority
due to the system itself in times of crises
and are solvable only
for a small minority
So the majority's souls are tortured
to solve the unsolvable
finally blaming themselves.
A tyranny not initially of the body
but a tyranny of the soul.
------------------------------------------------
8. And although it is difficult
To fix a complicated system
It is a basic human right
To be able to survive
To be free from the need in poverty
As is a basic human right
To have free health care
Therefore, my friends
An unconditional and free
Basic income for surviving
That would eliminate poverty
Is a minimum remedy
For our economic system
So that the poverty
Is not a system crime
if we want it to be friendly
to the human spiritual existence.
----------------------------------------------
9. And for those wondering
Where all this money
will be found for
the free basic income
I remind them
That money is not
under the rule of gold
it is this way or another
continuously issued
in a gradual inflation way
from nothingness in the computers
of the central banks
And it is a matter of laws
who has the privilege to issue it
and how it will circulate
in the society.
It is therefore a basic human right
That the central banks
Should not be banks
But only not-for-profit public
central monetary organizations
directly under the ministries of finances
and the public decisions of the parliaments
and issuing non-inflation money
which circulates in the society
mainly not through debt.
