Holistic Ecological Civilization for the Survival of Civilization

The survival of civilization depends on a radical change in the political, economic, and cultural paradigm.
Blind faith in profit-driven technocratic technofixism is paving the way for transhumanist technofascism.
A holistic ecological civilization must be post-capitalist and post-imperialist, with a social and ecological political economy.
A social and ecological political economy is a sufficiency economy, which does not depend on continuous economic growth, wealth, and private property accumulation to satisfy the population's needs.
Based on the precautionary principle, we must put a maximum cap on wages, profits, wealth, and property accumulation. This policy is essential to prevent plutocrats and oligarchs from controlling the economy, politics, and society.
The sufficiency economy requires eliminating austerity policies and manufactured scarcity so that people can work less to live more.
A society of abundance must include time for developing meaningful lives, not glorifying superfluous and luxurious consumption.
A society of abundance does not force people to live in a permanent state of worry, fearing losing their jobs, homes, access to health care, and other vital services.
A society of abundance does not resort to manufactured scarcity to control and exploit the citizenry.
A society of abundance in which only the upper echelons of the social ladder benefit is a dysfunctional society.
This reality needs to change.
