Kicked out all of the career politicians and they've been replaced with community led committees that are responsible for their community members' wellbeing.
They must live, full-time, in the city/neighborhood that they work for.
These government officials have to be meeting their community's needs, they work for the people.
If they are not meeting these needs, they can be immediately removed and replaced with a new elected community member.
Food, drinking water, and clean air are rights, accessible to all.
It is illegal for companies to throw away food.
Any un-expired food must be sold or donated. (France passed a food waste law, we can do this globally, too.)
You can still go out to restaurants, of course, but you also have access to free groceries and affordable prices.
No one can own the water. It is a right of every living thing on Earth.
There are no data centers or pipelines polluting the drinking water and air.
Corporations are 100% accountable for their emissions.
Any and all air and water pollution are punishable to the fullest extent of the law.
Countering the climate crisis has become a global priority.
CEOs and all liable parties for knowingly growing their companies' carbon footprint in the past have been investigated, tried, and punished.
Monopoly busting would be back in, baby!
Shares owned and controlled by the employees now.
Once the foundations are in place, the employee owned businesses would then be liable for their emissions.
Infrastructure is eco-centric, not greenwashed.
Solar and thermal are the leading sources of energy.
Oil is no longer in production.
There's punishment for possessing, fracking, or distributing oil.
There are no destructive pipelines ruining Native lands.
Parking lots, freeways, and golf courses have been eradicated, replaced with tree and flower filled parks and walkable cities.
Free public transit.
Not owning a car gets you tax credits.
Gas powered vehicles would be entirely out of production.
Composting and rain collecting get you a credit, not a citation.
All land is public, protected land.
There are no data centers or land sold off for corporate greed or over-priced real estate.
Education is a right.
There aren't private schools.
There are public schools, with prioritized funding that focuses on the students and the teachers.
The curriculum is constantly updated to be based in fact and setting the students up for whatever their futures might look like.
Funding is the same globally.
There are no "better" schools. There are schools and any kid can get the same quality of education, regardless of any circumstance or birth lottery.
Housing is a right.
There are no conglomerates that own the available homes.
There are no Air B&Bs.
There are no landlords.
They can get a real job.
I don't necessarily know if rent would exist, but if it did, it would be capped.
It could be a way of stimulating the economy, but if rent does exist, that money goes right back into the community to pay for public services.
Like how taxes are supposed to.
You can only get seconds once everyone has been served.
It's not a very hard concept:
No second house until everyone has one home.
Plus, why do you need a second home?
No yachts, unless everyone else has that opportunity, somehow.
No one needs their own fucking plane. Shut the fuck up.
All drugs are de-criminalized and legalized.
Drug use centers.
Medical staff on hand:
Hand out measured, un-laced doses.
Prevent overdose and manage withdrawal symptoms.
Spot OD symptoms.
Provide resources for anyone who wants it.
Rehabilitation, contact information for clinics/NA/whatever they might need information to, naloxone, etc.
There are no cops.
Policing as an institution is gone.
But "law and order" still manages to exist??
There are specialized, community trained and vetted teams for each situation:
They can only work in the community that they live in.
Rape, domestic violence, or assault reported?
There's trauma psychologists, forensic techs/investigators, and paramedics called out.
Rape kits on hand, which will be immediately tested in their lab provided solely for this purpose.
Every rape kit is tested, it is a mandatory part of every case and there is not a backlog of hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits.
Like if SVU wasn't cop-aganda and there's not a shit system holding people back from seeing real justice.
Actually passionate, heavily vetted and trained people who genuinely do everything they can to help the victims.
Main focus is victim advocacy.
Potentially violent situation?
There are community organized teams with the appropriate, non-lethal weapons: taser, pepper spray, baton.
No less lethals. Just handheld self defense weapons.
Only two (heavily trained) personnel with hand guns on the scene, and only if the situation calls for a lethal weapon.
Active shooting/hostage type situations.
Any shootings or improper conduct allegations will end with the people involved being heavily investigated.
There are no internal investigations.
There's an entire committee of outside investigators, prosecutors, etc. solely for these incidents.
Will be immediately placed on unpaid leave with mandatory counseling.
There are no protections, no qualified immunity for community "cops".
The main training component for all teams is de-escalation.
Monthly counseling and mental health check-ins.
Every person must take bi-monthly firearms training.
Refreshed and updated de-escalation and first aid training every six months.
What I consider to be the primary differences between present day cops and the proposed community protection groups is who it's controlled by and who profits.
This is community led entirely.
The community is in charge of who is given these positions and what their primary focus will be in each community.
There are no private prisons or incentives for imprisoning people.
There are no arrest quotas.
Private property doesn't mean shit.
Note the difference between personal property and private property.
These are dedicated and thoroughly trained people who are committed to keeping people safe.
They do not hold positions of power over others, they are their neighbors, families, friends, and community.
There are systems of accountability in place with strict disciplinary policies.
There are no prisons.
The entire prison system has been abolished.
Mental health is prioritized, basic needs are met, and crime has been radically reduced.
Crime is punished adequately based on circumstances:
After a rigorous and fair trial:
There is actual oversight and an entire team of people working from both the defensive and prosecutorial side, making sure that there is nothing being overlooked.
Investigators exist, lawyers exist, of course, because everyone deserves justice, but the laws are meant to work in favor of the people rather than against.
There are treatment and rehabilitation procedures in place.
If someone is a danger to others and all rehabilitation options have been exhausted, they have the choice if they'd like to be institutionalized or executed.
I don't like the death penalty, but maybe someone wants that, idk.
I don't fully like the idea of perma-institutions, that's basically just new prison. But, I don't necessarily know if we should just kill all of the people that cannot or will not be able to be rehabilitated.
In Todd-Topia, we figured it out, but I don't live there yet.
Nuremburg style hangings of war criminals.
People can come together, solemnly but joyfully to finally see justice.
Not, like, forcibly, just people who turn to the Public Executions Channel on TV
(We figured out how to child-proof a public TV broadcast lol)
There are no borders.
There is no such thing as citizenship or borders.
No one can be illegal for existing or migrating.
There are protections for the people that are indigenous to the land, and they make the decisions for their land.
People are not criminalized for immigrating, they just have to meet the agreed requirements for tending to and caring for the land and people already there.
No stealing or ownership, instead sharing and protecting the land.
Free all hours child-care centers.
A safe place for children to be during their parent's work hours, or during any time that a parent might be otherwise unavailable.
Removing children from homes is the very last option, and only if they're in danger.
Maximized effort to stop the discrimination in the CPS system that targets brown and black families.
Mediation, therapy, parenting classes, etc. are the first lines of defense for families.
The goal is to keep families together.
Healthcare is a right.
There are no insurance companies to prey on people.
It's just...covered. For anyone.
Doctors receive good money, and since education is free, there are more opportunities for people to join the medical field.
Doctors don't have to worry about being over-worked and under-paid.
This goes for all professions, of course, but in the Healthcare arena, there would be less backlog in the ERs, more available specialists, more options for care, and becoming a medical professional wouldn't be blocked by a paywall.
Weapons of war have been entirely destroyed.
There are no standing militaries. Maybe just the coast guard or national guard. But they aren't really up to much, mostly just working their day jobs.
Production/distribution of nuclear weapons, missiles, automatic weapons, and bombs are punishable by death.
Sorry, bub, the terms and conditions are quite clear.
No war, no weapons of war. Period.
Handguns, rifles, etc. are regulated and accessible through regular testing/license requirements.
But how could we pay for this?!
There are 3,427 billionaires in 2026 and one trillionaire (and you're not one of them, stop licking their assholes). Their net worth adds up to at least $20.1 trillion. Once their wealth has been seized, liquidated, and redistributed, I think we can work to find it in the budget within the next ten to twenty years.
Plus, chopping the military, ICE, and police to bits will be opening up billions of dollars to pour into public services.
I will show you my math. I did have to use ballpark numbers and a lot of numbers are hard to find for smaller countries, so I tried to make the expenses rounded up and the resources to pay for it rounded down, to try to be more realistic with it.
Costs:
Universal housing annually: $5.85 trillion.
Broad guesstimate- just multiplied the cost for America (given its size, I assumed the numbers are biggest, idk) by the number of countries in the world, I know this is a very off number, but figured my estimate would suffice.
Ending world hunger (by 2030): $45 billion per year.
Universal healthcare annually: $371 billion.
Universal education annually: $14.6 trillion.
Another broad guesstimate, using same math from above.
Total: $20 trillion, eight hundred and sixty six billion.
Resources:
Military budget annually: $2.7 trillion.
Police budget annually:
US - $115 billion.
Russia - $38.3 billion.
Israel - $8 billion.
EU - $2.1 billion.
Anti-immigration annually: At least $170 billion.
Taxes annually: 1.48 trillion.
Total: $4 trillion, five hundred thirteen billion, four hundred million.
One time billionaire fund: At least $20.1 trillion.
If we did just one or two of the things here, how much free time and money would you have if you weren't always struggling to survive?
Of course it won't happen overnight, and it won't be easy. We may never see the world that we fight for, but think what it would look like if we could do the things on this list. Imagine how beautiful we could leave this world for our children and grandchildren.
I don't think that I am particularly an idealist or being unrealistic. I think that everything in my "ideal world" is possible and within our reach, we just need to stop listening to those who tell us we can't. We are at the breaking point of capitalism and we need to replace our current systems with something sustainable for all.
