Modern political and economical system is robust and resilient. The combination of democracy and capitalism is de facto a global standard because it works. Over time, however, it tends to polarize societies, creating dangerous social conditions. That is as inevitable and irreversible as gravitation.
We must avoid fast catastrophic changes called "revolutions" because through blood, suffering and destruction they only reset the level of polarization in the society, and in time the system snaps again.
Instead we should introduce a new element of stability to the system. We have a vision of such element.
A world-wide organization that unites people not by political and economical views, ethnicity or religion. Not even by trade or geography, but simply by the level of income. Everybody who earns less than ten times minimum wage – or under $200,000/year – join Super Union.
The sole purpose of this organization will be to advocate higher wages for its members, and through that reduce the polarization of the society. It will not take on legislative or executive functions, but rather become a powerful lobby legitimized by the number of members and able to counter-balance both government and business.
It is imperative for this organization to be non-hierarchical, absolutely transparent, and, obviously, non-dependent in its resources on governments or businesses. It must be funded exclusively by its members through member fees, just like a trade union.
Imagine an independent organization with a billion members paying just 1 dollar a year - it's a billion dollars a year spent on expertise, research, investigations, promotion, funding dispute resolutions between employers and employees, funding class-action, supporting its members everywhere in the world.
We believe people are mature enough to bring this new power into the world, and generous enough to make it effective.
We call this organization Super Union, because it must unite people that are normally divided by their affiliation with different other organizations.
