Unificationism

 Unificationism: A Distinctive Political Theory

Unificationism is a political theory that advocates for a system of governance focused on unity, peace, and equity. Its core premise is that governments should prioritize the collective well-being of all citizens, moving beyond political divisions and vested interests.

Commonalities with Other Theories

Unificationism shares principles with both socialism and commonwealth unified political theories:

• Collective Ownership and Control of Resources: Emphasis on shared resources to ensure all citizens have access to essential goods and services.

• Equitable Distribution of Wealth and Power: Aims to foster a more just and inclusive society through fair distribution.

Distinctive Qualities of Unificationism

Unificationism distinguishes itself through several unique aspects:

• Individual Self-Unity:

• Recognizes internal harmony as a prerequisite for societal unity.

• Focuses on personal transformation to cultivate a culture of peace and harmony within individuals.

• Credits System Theory:

• Proposes an alternative economic system to address challenges of currency and poverty.

• Aims to eliminate problems associated with traditional fiat currencies.

• Seeks to create a more equitable distribution of wealth, reduce financial disparities, and promote economic stability.

• Dissemination of Awareness about Peace and Unity:

• Emphasizes that creating a unified and peaceful society requires both political and economic reforms, and a shift in consciousness.

• Actively promotes education and dialogue to cultivate a shared understanding of unity and cooperation, fostering a sense of global community.

Additional Concepts within Unificationism

• Intelligence as a Value: Intelligence is viewed as a fundamental value, not a luxury. It doesn't require a "smart person" to be intelligent, nor does an intelligent person need to tolerate "stupidity" around them.

• Critique of Materialist Culture: Unificationism offers a monetary critique of the materialist culture driven by capital greed and the pursuit of "worthless gains in power."

• System of Law Based on Education:

• Education is central to the system of law.

• A person's profession is based on what they are educated in.

• Earnings are based on efforts derived from one's education.

• Progress and Change:

• Preemptive assumptions about political systems are often social outcomes of progress.

• Acknowledges that change can be perceived as scary for those who believe they are already "right."

• If a political system were to establish international basic education systems that are not subversive to the power system, and the power system is told it is "only offensive if you are wrong," then only progress would occur.

• Happiness and Monetary Wealth:

• If 100% capital gain means no work, product, or object to sell, then there is no happiness.

• Challenges the notion that monetary wealth inherently equates to more happiness.

• Suggests that true happiness comes from challenging one's mental state and understanding the root causes of unhappiness, a topic long studied by social sciences.

Conclusion

Unificationism offers a unique and thought-provoking perspective on governance. Its emphasis on individual self-unity, the Credits System Theory, and its dedication to spreading peace and unity distinguish it from conventional political theories. While still evolving, Unificationism has the potential to significantly contribute to political thought and practice by providing a fresh approach to societal organization and governance.
