The World Is A Trading Post of STUFF

Slowly but surely, our entire planet has been turned into an unbearable trading post. Try to visualise all the millions of shops, kiosks, markets, stock exchanges, street vendors, restaurants, shopping malls, fast food outlets, etc... all with their shelves loaded with STUFF, trying to sell their STUFF to passers-by.
Millions of shopkeepers and their employees waste their lives away waiting for customers to come in and buy something.

Millions of companies spend insane amounts of time, money and creative energy to design and manufacture STUFF that they think people will want to buy. This is extended into every industry like the hospitality industries selling hotel rooms and holidays, scrumptious plates of food – WHY?
Because the human slaves that work all year like worker ants deserve to take a break at the end of the year to spend all that MONEY that have been working so hard for – to lie on a beach on some exotic island to make them feel better about themselves.
What has happened to us?

We have become a planet of slaves that manufacture more and more STUFF every month for other slaves to buy and consume. STUFF we do not need nor want, but it gets made in any case, with more colourful gadgets, bells and whistles, because the dumb slaves have become addicted to the gadgets.
The slaves think that they have advanced technology in their hands but instead, they only have more tools of control and tools of enslavement that will allow the slaves to become more productive in delivering to the masters and keep them occupied with the new gadgets, doing stupid mindless things so that they don’t have time to contemplate their humanness – who they are as immortal souls, and elevate their levels of consciousness.

It is always a NEW & IMPROVED version of the same STUFF, and it lures billions of people every month to buy this stuff with MONEY that they have to slave away for and in most cases don’t even have. It is an insane system – wake up and smell your brain burning.

Billions of people buy billions of things every day that they don’t really need – but this is a state of hypnotic numbness that we have been lured into so that we can continue to buy more stuff, so that we, the slaves, keep rewarding ourselves with all this glitter and stuff.

All this to keep us preoccupied and not realise that we are being conned by those who control the flow of money. This is the big secret – nothing else really matters. The slaves have to stay as busy as they can not to allow them time to think for themselves. And so this thing called “business” is born.
We were all born into this system where global business and businessmen are revered for what they do, and how much money they make. In reality it is the great deception that has entrapped the world.
In the meantime the planet is being mined by these businesses, more than ever before in our entire history. We yank every possible mineral and substance out of the ground, not because we really need it, but mostly so that more stuff can be manufactured and traded so that those who control the flow of money can sell the unsuspecting humans more STUFF they don’t really need. Most of the stuff we buy, we discard within a few minutes or in the next few years. Just think about it – don’t just dismiss this statement.

This just gets the slaves into more debt that they can never repay, and so the slaves have to work for the rest of their lives paying off more and more debt while consuming more and more stuff thinking that they are making good progress in life because the television tells them so.

All these ignorant human slaves just keep the wheels of industry turning, and this keeps the flow of money increasing and enslaving us more and more. The incredible waste of people power and resources and materials that goes into keeping this monster alive is almost unimaginable.
IT HAS TO STOP – We have to free ourselves from this insanity.

Most people cannot imagine a way out of this mess – and yet there is a very simple way out. It is so simple that every ounce of educated logic in our bones shouts at us that it cannot possibly be so simple. Because our minds and hearts and souls have been poisoned so deeply by the controllers of money, that we cannot see the simple solutions.

Money is the obstacle to all progress and the cause of all the strife on EARTH. So the answer is quite simple – REMOVE THE MONEY – suddenly all the madness dissolves almost immediately.
The UBUNTU Contributionism model allows for all things to be provided without money to all those who need to make the stuff that is really needed by the people. So that everything is possible and available at any time to those who make and manufacture things.

So, instead of making and marketing STUFF to unsuspecting citizens, we should be creating products and things that the people need to firstly survive, then to prosper and then to achieve great things on all levels of society. It is quite simple actually – The UBUNTU Contributionism model provides the plan and blueprint for such a society.

Just imagine that all those shopkeepers, traders, vendors and salesmen were not trying to sell stuff to people that they don’t really need, but rather acted as providers of things, and suppliers of services that communities need to reach their highest potential.

Just imagine all the factories and manufacturers, and everyone who creates anything,  like cars, computers, nail clippers, clothing, shoes, beds, bricks, milk, eggs, bread, energy devices, and everything communities need – were actually making it specifically for the communities that needed those items.

Imagine if all these manufacturers were supplying scientists with things they needed to make great new breakthroughs. Our world will be a place of pure utopia. A true heaven on Earth that we have been denied of.

I know that I am really simplifying it, but everything should be simple as opposed to the complex, unworkable system we have today. It has to be presented simply, to allow people to start thinking about it and not shy away, as we have been doing for far too long.

This is why small communities under a well integrated Contributionism system will flourish in abundance. They will have everything they need and keep improving the lives of their people. Arts and culture will explode and consciousness will skyrocket with the freeing up of people’s minds.
It is not rocket science to establish what communities need and have it made or manufactured or produced for the community.

Let’s look at some basic examples. If there are 1000 people in the community, how many nail clippers do they need? How much shampoo do they use monthly? How much butter do they need and how many litres of milk do they use daily, and how much bread do they eat? 

How many beds do we need in the community – and why is hand-spun cotton so expensive while thousands sit idly around looking for jobs? We should all be sleeping on the finest cotton sheets – because there are enough people to grow the cotton and spin the cotton.

Among those who sit idly wasting their lives away, are technologists and computer geeks. To place a computer into each household and into each factory and office is not an insurmountable problem.
Can you see the obvious approach to this STUFF problem?

The competition between brands remains an incurable disease in a capitalist society – we cannot stop it and more manufacturers make more brands as the competition expands.

But if money is no hurdle, then brands will not compete – we will transform from competition to cooperation. Where everyone will share the latest know-how and scientific technology to make the best possible products for the greatest benefit of the people. We will dissolve our EGO and GREED and lose the need for new shiny metal and bells and whistles.

Let us turn the factories and traders into providers, suppliers and distributors rather than just salesmen and vendors who want to make money. Let them become the barometers of what society needs and the catalysts to start the production. They can play a critical role in the flow of energy through the UBUNTU communities.
