RE: Teaching Teenagers about the Magna Carta
I think we need a Magna Carta for today's government as well. They are progressively getting more powerful.
I don't know if this is correct or not but in several countries, surveillance on the public is becoming legal now?
Anyways, the very word 'government' is encouraging fear among the people in all parts of the country. A magna carta would be really welcome!
The US has the Constitution, which basically accomplishes the same thing in detail. Well, it ostensibly does, but has been ignored in part by most US regimes over the past century. It's still a pretty cool document though. :)
Governments getting progressively more powerful seems to be the cycle. The key I'd like to see is a way to break the cycle. That might be wishful thinking, but I can dream...
What we need is a digital - such as a blockchain based - Magna Carta and a form of "government" (organized rule of moral law) based on volountary cooperatives in a decentralized network.
This setup, when combined with a greater focus on productivity and contracts rather than stale conservation through use of the classic iron fist, would enable a better and stateless society without creating any form of power vacuum for opressive powers to creep back in.
(See "Cooperative Agorism" and organized "CoAgs", which could be considered the Capitalist/"left-right" neutral alternative to Syndicalism/traditional socialist Anarchism)
You are right... but I think many leaders need to be reminded of what we already have in place (and many citizens as well). Thanks for telling me about the typo!
