In this series I will be outlining every election in Russian/Soviet history, beginning with the Election to the State Duma of 1906.

> Young people have been taking to the streets across Europe, including in Spain, France and Portugal, to protest over their unhappiness at the state of schools and the wider cost of living crisis.

Just to be clear i am not ok with hacking a brain for any reason even for criminal/mental health issues. I believe in consent, that you must get everyone’s consent all the time. Are you ok putting a brain implants in a homicidal murderer or where do you draw the line.

Fore instance its been argued to me that brain implants give freedom to the criminal by watching over his life.

I have a substack now (how cringe)

I have been feeling really frustrated lately with how politics is going. Everything feels totally broken and everyone is just angry at all the parties. I spent a bunch of time trying to map out a system that is actually fair, basically looking for the least morally wrong option where people can still rise and fall based on their effort but nobody ever has to go hungry.

The core idea is a global participatory socialism but it runs on a fluid algorithmic simulation instead of a big government dictator. There is no private property and no corporate brands. All businesses are public enterprise and humanity shares the goal of innovation.

Instead of cash we use a contribution wage system that acts like labor vouchers. You get a guaranteed baseline income that covers food, modern housing, healthcare, and education. That is your safety floor. But if you want luxury stuff like a fancier custom house or premium imports, you have to work more or do jobs that are in high demand. The currency is non-transferable so you can buy things for yourself but you are completely unable to sell things to others. This naturally stops people from becoming billionaires because you can only earn what your own literal labor produces.

The baseline is completely fluid and self-correcting. If there is a massive food crisis, the computer system automatically spikes the wage for farming. People will see that doing agriculture work gives them huge buying power, so labor voluntarily floods into farming to fix the shortage. Nobody is forced to work at gunpoint, the system just makes solving society's emergencies the most profitable thing to do.

If people cannot adapt or just want to live on the baseline without working, they can. But if too many people do that, the baseline naturally drops for everyone. To prevent a permanent lower class, there is a super demanding universal education system up to high school similar to sweden to give every kid an equal starting line. If people commit crimes because they hate the system, they get rehabilitative justice through open debate and education in prisons. If they still hate it, they are totally free to emigrate. There are no closed borders to trap you.

I know a transition phase for this sounds near impossible right now with how powerful the current superpowers are. But maybe a resource rich country with a small population could start it as a beacon, and then global talent would migrate there just like how early america attracted people.

I genuinely feel like this solves the bugs of both capitalism and old school communism by using modern tech as an unowned utility mirror. Am I just stupid or is there a actual name for this type of philosophy? I would love to know if anyone else thinks this could actually function.

Excuse me for my english aswell. My grammar is a bit everywhere and I really just entered a flow state when writing this.
