Hey Boukert,

Yes I'm definitely open to discussion and debate. For the record I did not write this manifesto and do have some things I would change about it. Like mandatory DNA testing for all children.

One of the ideas built into the manifesto is that others can start their own communities with an amended or changed version.
[–] Boukert 0 points (+0|-0) Edited

In my eyes there seem to be multiple issues with the "maniphesto" as these rules seem very dubious and even contradict each other on some occasions.

but i'll try and keep it short and offer a couple at a time so we can have a normal conversation:

From the get-go I have severe issues with this:

49 The council may create further laws, but this document supersedes any law they make. Any such laws must also be specifically reintroduced by each successive council.

52 . Neither the council nor the people can change this document.

Especially since it's a theoretical manifesto and has not been tried yet. So believing the document to be "above others" without being tested is dubious at best. It also makes me think of the Quran in the way it presents itself as "the ultimate truth" which makes it impossible to criticize or amend the text to any needs, trail&errors or modernization.

As you state it can be used as a template, but i still needed to make the point. The guy mentioned in the pdf/ the writer does seem very serious about this, claim's he's investing money in it and calling on ppl to join/contribute.

I'll start with economics and taxation:

14 The currency shall be cryptocurrency, silver and/or gold.

15 During phase 1 the yearly cost to be and remain a citizen shall be equivalent to 10 grams of silver (~2 beers/~5 USD 2017).

16 During phase 2 the yearly cost to be and remain a citizen shall be equivalent to 100 grams of silver (~20 beers/~52 USD 2017).

17 During phase 3 the yearly cost to be and remain a citizen shall be equivalent to 850 grams of silver (~170 beers/~480 USD 2017).

19 . The taxes cannot be changed or increased and there will be no other taxes.

20 If you cannot pay to be a citizen service in the military or police or doing other unpaid service is allowed instead. This applies to any rule mentioning ‘payment of the tax’.

24 You must be a citizen to reside in nation territory. Otherwise you must leave. (tourists may pay for periods shorter than a year, but must pay double the normal daily rate)

25 The taxes cannot be lowered either and non-citizens must leave.

68 Any who wishes to join your nation should be allowed to do so provided they pay the tax OR work for it (such as unpaid government/militia work).

  • So my first major objection here is that the taxes are in absolute products or undefined "services" based on absolutes. How does inflation, free market or price fluctuations work here? Lets say the price of Silver, gold or crypto currency skyrockets, there is no way to compensate so people will go broke trying to cough up their tax.... Let's say the price drops then the state would go bankrupt .

  • Secondly, there is no budget or idea what kind of budget is needed for "the state" to function. How many military or police is needed, what do private security companies cost? What if this is way more tax then needed and the state gets to rich? What happens if war breaks out and the state is broke? What if it's to few income to be able to maintain order... etc etc etc

  • Thirdly what would happen if everyone volunteered services instead of paying taxes? Where are these services based on, how are they valued?

Any economic can tell you hard cast absolutes as taxes are a bad idea and will not work in practice.

Rule 25 makes no sense whatsoever: "25 The taxes cannot be lowered either and non-citizens must leave."

  • "either" is this meant to refer to #24? ..... cause it feels like it refers to #19 and has no business being there.

  • "and non-citizens must leave." ehm.... wut wut? this is clearly a reference to #24 but it makes no sense at all even in that context to include this in this rule.

Taxation 2

22 You must be a citizen and 18 years old to vote and considered an independent adult.

61 Parents must pay citizenship for their children or leave the nation.

70 Citizens who stop paying tax for any reason must be expelled from the nation. No Exceptions.

71 Women and children who cannot pay tax for any reason must be expelled from the nation. No exceptions.

72 Cute little girls who cannot pay tax for any reason must be expelled from the nation. No exceptions.

73 Old innocent people who cannot pay tax for any reason must be expelled from the nation. No exceptions.

  • There is no clear definition of "citizen" in the rules, which worries me. #4 - #9 lists some rights belonging to citizens but no clear definitions.

Rule #22 implies Women are not seen as citizens (or is it independent adults?) as they cannot vote due to #1 . #71 adds to the implication that they are not, as they are separately mentioned.

Rule #22 also implies women can't be considered as "an independent adult" (#1) so who pays their taxes? Men become independent at 18 so it's reasonable to assume from this that they pay their own taxes. But what about "dependent adults", do "their parents pay, or the man or what?

Rule 71 children don't pay taxes, their parents do! #61

Rules 72 and 73 are clearly abundant and depending on above answers so is #71 .
