My Utopian Eco City

Ecolism is the new utopian socio-economic system, created by and patented to Henry Maalouf-Gilbert since year 2008. Copyright registration C 972103005.

The new socio-economic system is designed to eliminate poverty and provide a self-sufficient, sustainable and ethical way of life for the poorest and elderly communities of our societies organised in purposely designed Eco Cities. It is based on efficient use of natural and human resources, in a scientific and logical structure of an ethical social-democratic system, that is Eco friendly, reduces the waste, recycles and reuse, and preserves the planet as much as possible. This socio-economic system has its internal ‘Eco Magna Carta’ agreement between people, businesses and the elected Eco Council that governs the Eco City. The Eco Magna Carta should not conflict with any national or religious laws, but it is based on the true principles of freedom, where what you do inside your house with your family, does not need external intervention or influences, as long as you do not harm yourself and others. The Eco City is a big harmonized family who agrees between them on how to live better, spend less, take care of each other and never harm anyone. The future objective of Ecolism is to reform democracy and other systems or at least to give the poorest better life, true justice, freedom, security and economical stability.

What is Ecolism?
Ecolism is the balance of two extremes Capitalism and Communism, in addition to extracting the best of all other socio-economic systems or ‘isms. By saying ‘isms', we mean; Capitalism, Communism, Socialism, Democrat’ ism, Totalitarianism, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam-ism, Christian’ ism, Hinduism, Sikhism etc... and all the other religions. Ecolism is the new socio-economic system that extracts the moral values and ethical disciplines from all religions and the ruling systems. This is to proportionately distribute the wealth, power and responsible freedom to everyone, yet fairly reward success and efforts, reform failure, eliminate poverty, equalize the inequalities between the layers of societies and give everyone reasonable standard of living as a minimum right to live, free, happy, prosperous, educated and productive. All socio-economic systems or ‘isms' may have good principles in them, but also have abusers to the good principles, and have failed to provide optimum balanced justice, responsible freedom and equalities for everyone to live happier in a sustainable and secure living from the cradle to the grave.

Socio-economic systems comparison

Capitalism versus Ecolism
Capitalism, in the 21st century, became an authoritarian socio-economic system that controls political policies and laws, disregarding the ethics of democracy and patriotism. The whole objective of Capitalism is profits based on private ownership of commodities and assets, treating human resources as another commodity necessary to produce profits. The dominance of capitalism and global organisations became very influential, able to manipulate or control political systems’ policies, and capable of trembling the economies of the most powerful countries. While Ecolism in comparison, is similar to combined social and democratic capitalism, with the difference of equalizing powers between people, politicians and capitalists. The distribution of power's formula for Electorates, Businesses, and Politicians, is distributed in three equal shares. Electorates or People - Government or Politicians - Businesses or Investors. The electorates can select or remove politicians from power, and the working force can remove their CEOs from a position upon failure or misconduct with no compensation. The Politicians or government will control and enforce disciplinary actions on Businesses and people for any offense or misconduct. Furthermore, provide free justice system, where the legal fees are subsidised for the poor and protected from bankruptcy. Businesses and investors have the government protection for their investment and the agreed margin of profits, in addition to the freedom of hiring and firing the local working force based on contractual agreement, regulated by the Government and accepted by the employees.

Democracy today versus Ecolism
Democracy is no longer a social system of equality allowing people to have a say in the political decisions and what affect their lives. Although, people can vote and select their leaders, whoever assumes the dominant power, automatically, becomes influenced by businesses’ conglomerates and implements policies to suit their interests, disregarding the consumer or public interests. This is in addition to some politicians become influenced by more powerful countries executing their treaties and agendas without allowing citizens a referendum to decide their own destiny or the policies dictated on them. While Ecolism in comparison, allow people to select their leaders and remove them from power as soon as no longer serve the national interest. The citizens will vote on major policies, using electronic voting system and petition to remove politicians from power or policies, as soon as they fail to deliver better economy or the policy becomes inappropriate.

Communism versus Ecolism
Communism, with all of its variations, in mother Russia, Republic of China, North Korea, Cuba and others, has created classless societies, living on the basic necessities for survival, such as: free or cheap houses, food, clothe and education. However, people became the government’s property controlled by a single ruling communist party, like; privately owned robots programmed for specific functions, to serve the state without incentive or motivation for better innovations and progress. Nevertheless, this system created powerful industrial countries, competing with USA and Europe. However, the Russian communists’ system collapsed due to the abuse of powers, limiting people’s ambitions and freedom, in addition to the external influence of the successful democratic capitalism of the west. While Ecolism in comparison, equalizes the social classlessness, but proportionately rewards, and incentivise the more educated or those with abilities to create more wealth or systems that improve people’s lives. Ecolism has a simple rule for freedom; everyone is free as long as no harm is caused to anyone, physically, mentally and financially. Ecolism balances the extremes of the communist’s dictatorship and the capitalistic irresponsible freedom and autocratic democracy.

Socialism versus Ecolism
Socialism tried to distribute the power and wealth between the proletariats (working force), rulers and capitalists, but it failed to know where to draw the line between them or create an acceptable balanced and sustainable formula for this tripartite partnership. However, some of the social welfare systems and principles that were adopted in Scandinavian countries as well as in most of Europe are still currently used, as a result of Karl Marx’s philosophy of socialism. Although the welfare and social systems are helping the poor, it is still lacking total and complete fairness for the poorest citizens. As a result, homelessness is increasing in our streets, and the elderly are living on the edge, with diminishing support as the economy worsens. Additionally, the rising austerity measures for the deteriorating economies, raises the question to how long the western welfare system is going to last? Ecolism will logically and scientifically structures and equalizes the allocation of wealth and power, for the proletariats, capitalists and the rulers. Ecolism guarantees free Education, health care, food, housing and the basic necessities for survival for the poorest and un-employed. The cost of living for the poorest is subsidized by the Eco socio-economic system that is funded by the proportionate taxes collected from the richer to improve the well-being of the poorer. However, in return asks the un-employed to work minimum hours for the State or the Eco City to pay back their subsidy, if possible, until a better job can be found that improves their quality of life and living standard, without the need of the subsidy.

Religions versus Ecolism
Religious beliefs and cultural systems, have addressed the moral values for the human race to follow, but imposed certain rules and disciplines that do not necessarily conform to our modern cultures of freedom, rational thinking and complex laws. Most of the religions have failed to adapt to modern times, and influence rulers to provide better moral and ethical systems or discipline people from the abuse of their powers to satisfy their excessive greed. While Ecolism in comparison, creates new socio-economic system based on the common sense of the religious moral value, and the practicality of the modern laws adapted to combine the traditional morality and the responsible freedom. Ecolism does not interfere or contradict with any other laws or religions, but give its Ecolists (Eco society of the utopian Eco City) the freedom to choose their way of living, to solve their problems by themselves, avoiding any external intervention or influence.
