The following preliminary outline centers on a few of the pressing needs the country faces as the crisis of American imperialism begins to accelerate:
- the nationalization of rail under a single agency just like the post is nationalized under the United States Postal Service, as not only a matter of national security but of the pursuit of life, liberty or happiness;
- the alteration or abolition of Constitutionally baseless agencies, the funding of which represents to the population taxation without representation;
- the purge of any or all worker unions, in particular such unions as the UAW or the Teamsters, that may be staffed, led, or controlled by agents of the State rather than those voted into office by way of a democratically free vote unfettered by campaign finance (such as in #4) from organized worker assemblies, as permitted under the First Amendment;
- the introduction of legislation on election financing that not only forbids any or all contributions from non-American political action committees but limits contributions to a minimum for local, State, or Federal elections, mandatory three rounds of hour long televised debate both during as well as after primaries such that failure to debate shall be deemed a forfeiture of one’s right to continue a race against a debating candidate; no local, State or Federal requirement for a candidate to collect signatures shall be imposed upon a candidate as a precondition for placing himself or herself on a ballot.
- the introduction of Amendments to the Constitution that secure more ‘inalienable rights’ to American citizens such as an expansion of the Sixth Amendment to preclude good cause for continuing prosecutions for misdemeanors more than sixty days, felonies more than forty five days; an Amendment to codify the Strickland standard into the Bill of Rights so as to be binding upon all States; an Amendment that no criminal investigation into a misdemeanor be conducted for a duration no longer than six months without filing a charge, into a felony be conducted for a duration no longer than a year without filing a charge; in the event of any extension, the investigating agency must present the target of the investigation with notice of the extended investigation, the cause of the investigation, a right to dispute the investigation’s extension; an Amendment that differentiates pre-trial detention from post-conviction incarceration such as the right to free, unlimited, non-recorded telephone calls (since the criminal defendant is not guilty, the State may not impose upon him or her expenses that he or she would not otherwise incur, should he or she not be detained on suspicion), unfettered access to a law library, whose manifestation in a pre-trail detention center is a Constitutional requirement for the criminal defendant’s detention; a requirement that under no claim good cause may a criminal defendant, whose appearance in Court is ordered, fail to be produced for said appearance, lest his or her case be dismissed for lack of prosecution; an Amendment that forbids the use, implementation or benefits any AI introduced into a investigatory method into any investigation or prosecution; an Amendment to empower the Court to construe under the Ninth Amendment the rights James Madison envisioned when he stated how: “Government is instituted and ought to be exercised for the benefit of the people; which consists in the enjoyment of life and liberty, with the right of acquiring and using property, and generally of pursuing and obtaining happiness and safety”; an Amendment to alter or abolish ‘qualified immunity,’ ‘judicial immunity’ or ‘presidential immunity,’ as Constitutionally baseless; an Amendment to empower local, State or Federal judges with discretion to sentence criminally convicted Defendants to time less than as mandated by sentencing guidelines; an Amendment to transform America’s penitentiaries, prisons, or jails according to the Scandinavian model with a view for the complete reduction of recidivism or institutionalization (which feeds into #7) wherein education is a right, free, or unfettered; an Amendment to expand the Fourth Amendment to preclude specifically non-specified electronic surveillance for a duration lasting longer than a week for anyone other than a single individual without a judge’s signature authorizing good cause for a renewal of said surveillance that shall be discoverable upon notice, should the investigator seek to extend his or her investigation into a misdemeanor or felony beyond the duration allowed under an investigation’s extension.
- the introduction of a plan not only for the requisition of the means of production but a requirement for the dollar to be convertible into a specific amount of gold; the plan subsequently shall rescind any or all sanctions, any or all impediments on the global usage, circulation, or reservation of the American dollar immediately without delay;
- the introduction of a plan to transform local law enforcement agencies from hired, full-time, career officers into non-hired, part-time, non-career members of the public, whose life, consisting in productive work, is a primary basis for the public’s permission to allow said member to police the community, as hired, full-time, career offices or departments breed corruption, division, or enmity within the community for lack of inclusivity.
- the introduction of a massive public works program with a completely transformed Social Security Act to cleanse America’s polluted water, air, or soil, to connect by rail, road, or bridge cities, States, or the populous at regular or high speeds, to ensure the country’s capacity for industry, manufacture or factory is at or equivalent to the manpower required to be or remain self-sufficient or lead the world in production;
- the introduction of a plan to limit the amount of money entrepreneurs may hoard to an amount equal to or less than $23 million with a provision to make any amount over or above that amount subject to the entrepreneur’s discretion for immediate, short term, or long term re-investment with specific provisions to preclude from this discretion any opportunity to manifest oligarchic power over an industry, manufacture or factory.
- the introduction of a plan to unionize technology workers under a Remote Workers’ Union (RWU) with provisions for Scandinavian paternity leave immediately applicable upon the appearance of a fetus from ultra sound, remote work, private laptops inaccessible by the company, 4*10s, quarterly on-sites, all-expenses paid vacations, standardized career ladders, month long ‘training’ every 18 months, two year long permanent contracts, all as a transitional bulwark against the future transformation of technology companies into utilities, whose technology shall not be exploited by the government, except upon the nation’s approval by way of a Federal referendum.
- the introduction of a plan to expand the boundaries of the Constitution north into Canada, south into Mexico, east towards the Pacific, west towards the Atlantic so that workers in these realms may declare independence from Capitalism in an expansion of the United Socialist States of America under the theory of Permanent Revolution.
- the introduction of a plan to put an end to America’s global warmongering, the closure of foreign bases whose presence does not accord with #11, or the regulation of the defense industry on the basis of loans, audits, inspections, or testing with no maintenance contracts to ensure the functionality of deliverables is compatible, commensurate, committed to the product specification in government contracts.
With the United States facing a terminal crisis, the following measures are required to preserve the sanctity of its forefather’s ambitions in light of the Enlightenment, to secure the transformation of the world economy from an irrational pursuit of profit into the execution of a plan for a common good among needs, to expand upon the purpose the American revolution inspired, to change the world.
