The Ferry: Resistance and Rebellion with Tax-based Representation (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781702754736)

The Red Queen is an evolutionary hypothesis where organisms must constantly adapt to circumstances that are also in a constant state to change, in order to gain reproductive advantages and survive. The more they evolve to meet the demands of their current environment, the faster their environment evolves to overcome them. The organism must constantly adapt in order to preserve their current position. Hence, it appears to be running in place. The Red Queen rules over the domains of biology and politics. States and nations are living organisms subject to the same competitive evolutionary environments other animals are. They must ceaselessly work at survival or they will be overcome by wealth inequality, corruption, or predictably brutalized by a neighbor. Just like in biology where successful organisms pass on their genetics, the more successful states and nations will pass on their public policy. This is more evident in democracies where their governance systems are more adaptive and responsive. A more dominant political party will win more elections and pass more laws. Really successful nations export their public policy and preferences through negotiated trade agreements, nation building and coalition formation. Political ideologies also evolve as time passes and new environments emerge. Socialism is dying. Its centrally controlled industry might be acceptable for healthcare, policing, and other sensitive government-based services but it is the worst way to organize the overwhelming majority the economy. Communism was the most abhorrent political system to be tested to date, affecting the lives of hundreds of millions of persons. The fixed and despotic political outcomes ensured the centrally managed economies were not reformed or delivered equitably. The evidence is in and Communism is an abject failure. However, the rhetoric and idealization of socialism persists because Capitalism produces wealth inequality and poor justice system outcomes. Like a virus or some other adaptive system, democracy must incorporate the more successful elements of socialism to make it immune to movements seeking equality in outcomes rather than equality in opportunities. Econometric representation accomplishes this by adopting the language and organizational aspects of socialism within the machinery of democracy. Instead of the proletariat monopolizing political power, they are permanently incorporated in the electorate and bicameral process.By separating and isolating the below median class within its own legislative chamber, it empowers them with better role identity, stronger collective bargaining, and more agency from wage restricted political representatives. The proletariat is thus elevated by democracy, and set equal to the leisure class and investors class in the above median chamber. Democracy is by far the dominant process, but it learns from it experiences like other social or biological organisms. Democratic Socialism is the belief that socialism can be acquired through the Democratic process. Economic Representation builds this belief system into the machinery of the political process. The electorate can be split evenly into two equal parts, with one group comprised of those paying below median tax liabilities and another group comprised from those paying above median tax liabilities. This is the highest form of democratic entitlements as it perseveres majority rule and a bicameral process, while imbuing vectorized class identity within the legislature. The more specialized electorates will produce more honest representatives and more accurate and efficient public policy. This is how more specialized labor produces value for firms and it will be the same result for a more evolved political market.
