Intentional Community
We must understand that it is only possible to create full human rights for all children in this society, alongside with creating human rights for adults. Creating the situation of human rights for all children is truly raising the standard of living in every possible way. But children cannot live at a higher standard of living than that which their parents enjoy. It is an inorganic system of growth, that will necessarily topple, to expect to raise dependents higher than the persons upon whom they depend.
The only time that trickle-down economics works is in the family itself. We raise the standard of living for children by raising the standard of living for parents. It is not the legal system that prevents adults from enjoying their full human rights. For adults, it has been simple logistics that prevent the full meeting of human need.
Nearly every adult lives within a system of involuntary servitude. The strongest workers are beset with never ending demands by dependents, even from all of society's dependents through taxation, to provide endlessly through their labor.
We can arrange our logistics to eliminate involuntary servitude for all people. We can lift the yoke of indenture from the backs of adults. We must lift up the lives of adults, even as children can gain their due, because children rely and depend upon the provision adults supply.
The liberation of husbands and fathers, mothers and wives, from involuntary servitude is a project we can create and pursue. We must do whatever we can to reduce the demand and burden placed upon providers.
Gaining women's rights, or children's rights, cannot be accomplished without men's rights. It isn't logical or organic to pit one set of persons against another. We are all in this together. We need to enact and create Human Rights for every single Human Being.
Even the term, "human rights", can feel like an adversarial position. It can connote struggle, and strife, and somehow taking something in limited supply from somebody else who also needs it, imposing involuntary change upon somebody else.
Every one of the human rights listed in our Bill of Rights is a need, a human need. It is right that the human needs be met. Acting affirmatively to support human rights for all people is simply acting to meet all human need. There is no reason to struggle or oppose anyone. There is truly enough for everyone.
If we can think mathematically, we shall see that it is not people that are expensive to maintain. It is not human bodies that require thousands of dollars a month to get by. It is the estates people own, the automobiles, the appliances, and the million details of material life (and addictive cravings) that cost so much to provide for and maintain.
If several families come together, and share the larger things, the burden of provision upon the man or woman working outside the home can be dramatically reduced. And within the home, the burden of tedious domestic chore can be eliminated, by sharing the task with many people. Involuntary servitude can be eliminated, within the home, and without.
It is impossible and unnecessary for me to spell out the many details of daily life that can be built into a community living estate. Everything that you can envision yourself, can be incorporated into the estate, in ways that exactly you can envision. Creating a live-in community from which we don't have to drive away every day - to do something we don't want to do, to get money to meet our needs, is a very real possibility.
Building upon meeting human needs, by structuring in human rights, we can do things together without harming one another or becoming subject to ridiculous systems of undue authority.
This is the project of the Concentric community, the Circle of Friends Church, surrounding the Kingdom of the Inner Child. It is one package deal. In one action, one change, we move towards Human Rights for all people.
