Comment from Sharon Elwell
I'm inspired! I would say this piece is very close to a description of a perfect society. The only thing I stumbled over was 1.2 abolishes possessions, yet in 1.1 they are listed, 1.4 talks of being "...prioritized over material accumulation" 5.3 talks of being "prioritized over material acquisition," and the conclusion, "prioritized above material wealth," - all indicating to me that possessions must still exist. As I read, I kept thinking, "Wait! I thought possessions were abolished." It's entirely possible that I'm the only one to misunderstand. And I'm ready to sign up for the Unified Utopian Society!

All "possessions" are simply group inventory to be used by all. Before we take advantage of accessing material things, we need to check our ego first....John

Got it! Thanks for the clarification.
Comment from Wayne Fowler
Well written and extremely well thought out.
Unfortunately, such a society is a playground for social deviants, psychotic control freaks, narcissists, and any number of other social misfits, of which humanity has demonstrated a never-ending supply.
Heaven might be the closest there is to the world you describe.
Best wishes

Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
This idea is wonderful, if only humans were more given to reason instead of selfishness. Karl Marx wrote something similar, but even his wife and daughters refused to cooperate. I suspect we would all need brain implants that would keep us on the straight and narrow, and zap us when we slipped up. But you have outlined a wonderful utopian world.

Hi! An interesting plan for a Utopia. You've taken a lot of time to make your society well organized. You have an introduction, then articles detailing what it means to be a part of the world which isn't named. but is called Better World.
Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Take care,
Rhonda

Comment from Michael Ludwinder
I read this with interest. I can't say I agree with this approach. But respect that you are sharing a vision of shared prosperity. Does this set a path towards a bolder future. I'm not sure. But you do a wonderful job sharing your vision. Great job.

Comment from royowen
The problem is the lustful human propensity for lustful pursuits is an overpowering propensity, the French and the Russians tried, but lust took over, resulting in the revolution leaders starting killing one another for power, until one more cunning than the others was left standing, Anyhoo, who's going to 'enforce' these wonderful concepts, good luck, in reality, all are equal in a Christian theocracy, but then, only those who humble themselves, love is above the law. blessings Roy

Comment from jim vecchio
Sounds a little like what the first Christians did before the Church and Gospel became widespread. It's hard enough for two people to agree on what tv show to watch to expect them to work together in unified order.

When global suicide is compared to mutual agreement, even the stiffest MAGA will bend.

Agreed.
