Brotherhood at the economic level

Economic life - which includes production, commerce and consumption, i.e. producers, traders and consumers - must constitute a force autonomous which governs itself in relation to all economic matters and which ensures that politics has no influence on economic decisions. The state as an economic entity is also eliminated. This will put an end to all lobbying. The business world must establish an autonomous government there, guided by the principle of fraternity.

One could perfectly consider setting up a " Economic Council ". The Economic Council would then be the place where the three groups (producers, distributors, consumers) come together to form a unified voice in the interest of businesses as a whole. The economy must organize itself into economic councils across all forms and types of economy, locally and globally, in order to ultimately fulfill the task of meeting the material needs of the people, regardless of the political influence on economic decisions. The economy becomes an equal partner of the state, almost like its own “economic government”. An influence like in the current Covid crisis would be unthinkable here. He would have a say in all economic matters. It would never be possible here for the state to drive companies into bankruptcy and, moreover, to burden society with debts which will then have to be paid by the economy. It is therefore urgent that the economy organize itself and establish independent economic councils, based on a living understanding of “social laws”.

Economic councils should be understood as amalgamations of industry associations, trade associations and consumer associations. The separation between employees and employers is abolished, since employees are understood as entrepreneurs and co-producers, who therefore also participate in the success of the company. Such an initiative could contribute to a more fraternal and “human” distribution of income.

What is fraternity at the social level?
