The People's Manifesto is an attempt to extract the best known political and economic policies presented in British history. We seek to create the perfect system and an Egalitarian/Utopian society for the 21st Century.
Utopian ideals often place emphasis on egalitarian principles of equality in economics, government and justice, though by no means exclusively, with the method and structure of proposed implementation varying based on ideology. According to Lyman Tower Sargent "[t]here are socialist, capitalist, monarchical, democratic, anarchist, ecological, feminist, patriarchal, egalitarian, hierarchical, racist, left-wing, right-wing, reformist, free love, nuclear family, extended family, gay, lesbian, and many more utopias". But we seek the perfect social balance for today's society and commerce.
The term "Utopia" was coined by Sir Thomas Moore in 1516 with his book "Utopia." The book features the fictional island of Utopia, which was said to be in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. On Utopia, there is always perfect order. Moore's book states that simple laws, education of both sexes, communal ownership and religious tolerance lead to peace and overall population happiness.
Moore's book and the idea of Utopia spawned a literary movement that detailed many different kinds of utopias. These include "New Atlantis" by Frances Bacon and "Candide" by Voltaire. It also inspired dystopian fiction, which featured societies at their worst. Examples of dystopian fiction include "1984" by George Orwell and "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley.
There are many different ideas of what a utopian society is like. Some believe in an ecological utopia, in which people live in harmony with the Earth and do not damage it in any way. A scientific utopia is one in which science has helped the human form reach perfection.
Our People's Manifesto is to develop an Economic and Political Utopia in which society's economics are structured so that citizens have what they need financially. This is sometimes called a 'Social Utopia' or 'Utopian socialism'. There have been many attempts to depict this type of society and many famous books written for example:
1516 Thomas More - Utopia
1623 Tommaso Campanella - City of the Sun
1627 Francis Bacon - New Atlantis
1656 James Harrington - The Common-wealth of the Oceanea
1776 Thomas Paine - Common Sense
1838 Alexis de Tocqueville - Democracy in America
1885 Karl Marx - Das Kapital
1854 Henry David Thoreau - Walden
1872 Samuel Butler - Erewhon
1888 Edward Bellamy - Looking Backward
1892 William Morris - News from Nowhere
1894 William Dean Howells - A Traveler from Altruria
1933 James Hilton - Lost Horizon
1951 Isaac Asimov - Foundation
1966 Gene Roddenberry - Star Trek
1968 Stanley Kubrick - 2001: A Space Odyssey
1985 Carl Sagan - Contact
1985 William Gibson - Neuromancer
1992 Neal Stephenson - Snow Crash
And we will be using some references to these books in our Manifesto to justify some policies or ideologies.
