Frequently asked questions

Your Prime minster:

"As we transition into this new and exciting economic paradigm, I receive many questions. Here are some of the most common ones".

What is a planned democratic non-market Economy?

A planned democratic non-market economy is an economic system based on democratic decision-making and planned allocation of resources, rather than market forces.

 

Will a planned democratic non-market economy really meet the needs of the people?

In theory, a planned democratic non-market economy holds the potential to be better than capitalism at meeting the needs of everyone.

Here's a breakdown of arguments for a Planned Democratic Non-Market Economy potentially being better:

1. Direct Focus on Needs: The core principle is to plan production and distribution based on the identified needs of the entire population, rather than being driven by profit. This could theoretically ensure that essential goods and services (healthcare, education, housing, food) are universally accessible.

2. Democratic Control and Prioritization: Democratic decision-making in planning could allow for societal values and priorities to directly shape economic outcomes. This could lead to a greater emphasis on social welfare, environmental sustainability, and reduced inequality compared to capitalism, where these are often secondary to profit.

3.  Elimination of Market Failures: Many argue that a planned system could overcome inherent market failures in capitalism, such as externalities (pollution), information asymmetry, and the under-provision of public goods.

4. Reduced Inequality: By moving away from private ownership of the means of production and profit-driven allocation, a non-market system could theoretically lead to a more equitable distribution of resources and wealth.

5. Potential for Stability: Planning could, in theory, lead to more stable economic cycles by coordinating production and demand, avoiding the booms and busts inherent in capitalist markets.

 

Is a world without money really possible?

A world without money is theoretically possible, potentially involving systems like a barter economy, gift economy, or a post-scarcity society where abundance makes money unnecessary. For a moneyless world to function, societies would need to redefine work, motivation, and resource allocation to ensure survival and prosperity without a universal medium of exchange. 

Here are the arguments for a system without money

1. A Focus on Passion and Responsibility: 

Proponents of a moneyless society suggest that people would be motivated by their passions, a sense of responsibility, and the desire for self-improvement rather than profit. 
 
2. Redefined Values: 
A world without money could shift human values from wealth accumulation to social contribution, innovation, and the betterment of humanity, as depicted in some science fiction scenarios. 
 
3. Technological Solutions: 
Advanced robotics and automation could reduce or eliminate the need for human labor in many sectors, creating conditions that make a post-money economy more feasible. 
 

What is the United Nations view on this economic model?

A spokesperson for the United Nations states it is imperative that the discussion on democratically planned economies continues, with a particular focus on engaging in thorough comparative analysis. Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of this economic model in relation to other economic models is crucial for identifying potential synergies and areas for further development. By fostering dialogue and collaboration among proponents of different democratically planned models, we can strive towards a higher synthesis that integrates the most persuasive elements of different approaches. This ongoing discussion holds the key to developing more robust and adaptive economic systems capable of addressing the multifaceted potentials and challenges of the 21st century while remaining true to democratic principles, economic efficiency, and social and environmental sustainability. Hopefully, this will also help to build a broader movement capable of overcoming capitalism as an inherently limited system, in addressing the pressing social and environmental challenges of our time.

Why are we transitioning to a planned democratic non-market economy?

A planned democratic non-market economy offers potential advantages like achieving specific national goals, reducing the waste and inequality inherent in market systems, promoting economic and social stability, and fostering environmental sustainability through direct control of resources.

Sounds great! When do you expect the transition to be complete?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to provide a definitive timeline for a transition from capitalism to a planned, democratic, non-market economy. Such a transition would depend on a wide array of political, social, and economic factors that are not only unpredictable but also vary significantly depending on the specific country or region

How can I be an advocate for change?

To advocate for change and for the transition from capitalism to a planned democratic non-market economy, you can engage in education, direct action, and community-building. This involves participating in existing movements, challenging capitalist norms, and contributing to an alternative economic model such as the one proposed.
