An Introduction to a new form of Socioeconomic thought, government and society:Ilanism

 

            The definition for Ilanism should be the first thing discussed. Ilanism is a word created to explain this form of socioeconomic thought because the word Ílanism' had no meaning before it was used here. This is similar to the word 'kodak' which now is associated with cameras, but meant nothing before Eastman used the word.

            Ilanism bring together government society and business for the advancement of the country. This is a stark contrast to every other form of socioeconomic theory and the reason for the need for a new name.

            Ilanism will be the strongest if used in Latin America. It was a dream of Simon Bolivar to have Latin America working as one. In my opinion, Latin America is being used by the modern industrial countries of Europe, Canada and the United States. The countries of Latin America must unite to confront this abuse and make it work to the advantage of Latin America.

            In all current socioeconomic theories society is just moving with the flow. Socialism, capitalism and communism all have conflicts at times between labor (society), companies and the government. Ilanism attempts to minimize these conflicts as much as possible. Since this is a non-utopian world, some conflict will still exist.

            After you finished reading this introduction, you shall get a sense of what to expect in the coming weeks. Parts of Ilanism were first introduced at the Russian National Economic Conference at Vladimir State Technical University, Russia. This introduction is a purely economic rationale behind the Ilanism concept. This series will look at each facet, which all together, makes up the Ilanistic thought.

 

The world of yesterday and today is rough and teemed with hatred of the minority. Some examples are:

·                    The United States to the American Indians in the 1800's

·                    El Salvador to the Indians in the 1920s

·                    NAZI Germany to the Jews, Blacks, and homosexuals in the 1930's and 40's

·                    Iraq to the Kurds in the 1980's and 90's

·                    Yugoslavia in the 1980's and 90's to territories that make up the country after Gen. Tito's death

 

            The world must unite as a common civilization and the United Nations is not accomplishing this. The United Nations was created to prevent what the League of Nations failed to do to, end all war after World War I. (also known as the “Great War” and the “War to end all wars”)

 

            Since the creation of the United Nations, there have been many lives lost needlessly in civil wars or skirmishes. The following list is just a start. I am sure you can think of many more illustrations.

·                    Argentina

·                    Nicaragua

·                    El Salvador

·                    Colombia

·                    The former Republic of Yugoslavia

·                    Korea

·                    Viet Nam

·                    China

·                    Russia

·                    Czechoslovakia

·                    Hungary

·                    Tiebet

·                    Nepal

·                    Afghanistan

·                    Iran/Iraq

·                    Kuwait/Iraq

·                    Angola

 

The first article of the series will focus on discussing the Rights that every human being deserves in life. The creator gives these Rights to every person. This is his intention. However, in reality, the government has infringed on these Rights. I have listed all the Rights below, along with a brief description. They are all equal and so the order, in which they appear below, is of no importance. All rights must be upheld; otherwise a state of despotism will result.

 

The Rights

·                    The Right of Life

·                    The Right of Liberty/Free Speech

·                    The Right of Health

·                    The Right of Property

·                    The Right of Education

·                    The Right to Pursue Happiness

·                    The Right to Justice

 

The Right of Life

            Every human being has the right to have free and unhindered travel. Every person has the right to live life as he/she sees fit.

 

The Right of Liberty/Free Speech

            Every human being has the right to present his/her own opinion without the fear of retribution from the government or society.

 

The Right of Health

            Each person in the society has the right to guaranteed health care regardless of the ability to pay.

 

The Right of Property

            Every human being has the right to own his/her own belongings exclusively.

 

The Right to Pursue Happiness

            Every human being must be allowed to pursue his happiness however he/she sees fit, without restrictions from the government.

 

The Right of Justice

            If a person is exercising his/her own rights, but is at the same time, infringing upon another person’s rights, this person must be stopped. It is the society or the government’s responsibility to prevent such happenings.

 

            The second article of the series will discuss the Ilanistic form of economy. It is the economy that runs the world. Ethnocentrism and the politicians do not rule the world. However, they both can affect how a country proceeds by infringing upon the right of its citizens and creating a minority.

 

The third article of the series will look at the structure of businesses within the Ilanistic society, while the fourth article will discuss the structure of the people’s government of Ilanism. I will present those from various angles: city, sub state, state, and Democratic-Republic. The final article will be how a country in Latin America can become an Ilanistic country in a non-utopian world.

 

            This was a very brief overview of how the discussions will proceed. If at any time you feel that something is missing or you disagree with what was stated, please feel free to contact me. It is your right and duty to disagree with me. I do not only tolerate dissent, but I actually encourage it.
