UN!CORP:

The twenty-first century will see the rise of corporate communism.

1.                Corporate executives will come to realize that there is more of an advantage to cooperation than there is to competition.

2.                C.E.O. positions will be assumed by communists who will restructure employee salaries based upon the Marxist notion “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”

3.                Promotions will be carried out in the context of a meritocracy that rewards loyalty to the company more so than it rewards results or performance.

4.                Company policies will be adopted across various businesses, thereby socially engineering moral behaviour and promoting reciprocal altruism.

5.                Corporations will combine into a global conglomerate: a centralized means of production run by an oligarchy of executives, not any one of whom would think to seize absolute power because the thought of handling such responsibility would be practically tantamount to mutually assured destruction.

6.                This will begin in the United States.

a. Up until this point, anti-Communism in the United States has largely been a radical response to the failed Marxist experiments in Europe and Asia.

b.                As this radicalism falls out of vogue, especially given the absurd caricature of neo-Conservatism that certain political figures and pundits have provided, the American populace will come to embrace Communism again as an ideology. A new history of Marxism will be taught in schools:

                                        i.    Marxist experiments in the twentieth century were the result of civil unrest, on a localized level, coupled with the dream of global solidarity.

                                     ii.    These experiments were carried out by a populace that lacked the means to appoint and to supervise a qualified oligarchy of leaders.

                                   iii.    Contemporary Marxism responds TO a globalized culture in answering civil unrest on the GLOBAL level. Owing to twentieth-century technology:

1.                Globalism is no longer a utopia but an imminent reality, and

2.                The populace is armed with a double-edged sword that at once spies upon the People but that enables the People to spy upon the Leaders.

3.                So long as those in power are also in control of Production, they must answer to all of their employees, without whom Production would be impossible.

4.                So long as the employees are reciprocal altruists, they will stand by one another in solidarity, so that no employee would ever be expendable.

c.  Given the United States’ global military hegemony, it is the only country in history with the capacity to enforce the establishment of a World State surrounding a Multinational Corporation.

                                        i.    Radical Islam may be eliminated through the modernization of Middle Eastern countries.

                                     ii.    Drug cartels may be eliminated through the legalization of scheduled drugs.

                                   iii.    Allegedly Communist dictatorships will be forced to open their borders and to assimilate under the threat of information warfare.

                                   iv.    Nuclear Holocaust will be deterred, as will environmental collapse.

7.                Human Beings will evolve according to Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs.

a. All base needs will be answered by automation.

b.                As base needs are met, Human Beings will develop skills according to personal preference.

c.  The economy of the past tried to create “jobs” as technological progress eliminated positions. The New Economy will replace these jobs with entitlements.

d.                Entitled individuals will grow restless, and once they realize that any deviant road would lead to social failure, they will turn towards self-examination and the discovery and development of new potentialities within themselves for creative work and blossoming personality.

e. It will be easy to incentivize entitled individuals towards creative action, since they will only be those individuals who know that they lost their jobs through no fault of their own. Since they were compensated generously, they will not resent the System, but they will think of new ways in which to live within it, recognizing that having basic needs met is hardly ever enough and that only righteous, productive paths can lead to happiness. (Once misery has been mitigated, what follows is the pursuit of happiness via meaningful conduct.)

f.   The economy of the past adapted the Individual to the Society. The economy of the Future will adapt the Society to the Individual. Once all base needs are met, society becomes flexible. A populace inclined towards more scientific personalities, for instance, will have a greater focus upon Research and Development, whereas a more artistic society will tend towards Humanities. Whatever the trend may be, there will be no competition between the fields, since no consumer is ever totally unilateral.

8.                Capital will be replaced with money, and money will be replaced with credits. Credits will be assigned based upon needs. Merit and promotion will be regarded as intrinsic goods, appealing to the human desire for influence instead of avarice.

9.                Religions will see their ethics implemented within a totally secular context. Human beings will embody their latent angelic nature.
