  Everyday Freedom - Designing the...

  Philip K. Howard

  Something basic is missing in our culture. Americans know it. Nothing much works as it should. Simple daily choices seem impossible, or fraught with peril. In the workplace, we walk on eggshells. Big projects get stalled in years of review. Endemic social problems such as homelessness become, well, more endemic. 
   
   
   
  Everyday Freedom offers a radical reinterpretation of the corrosion of American culture. The assault on authority after the 1960s, aimed at enhancing freedom, instead created a plague of powerlessness. The teacher in the classroom, the principal in a school, the nurse in the hospital, the official in Washington, the parent on a field trip . . . all have their hands tied. Things don't work, and Americans have lost the freedom to be themselves. 
   
   
   
  Everyday Freedom offers a radical vision for change: Re-empower Americans in their everyday choices. The massive legal structures erected since the 1960s were based on flawed notions that human judgment could be replaced by elaborate dictates. These failed structures must be replaced with simpler frameworks activated by human responsibility and accountability. Nothing will work sensibly until Americans are free to draw on their skills, intuitions, and values when confronting daily challenges. This is the only cure to alienation. This is also the only way to deliver good government.

  Communism in Practice - Case...

  Communism, as an ideology and political movement, seeks to create a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively. Rooted in the works of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, communism advocates for the abolition of private property and aims to establish a system where wealth is distributed according to need, not individual ownership. This chapter explores the foundational principles of communism, its historical development, and its responses to capitalism and social inequality. 
  At the heart of communism lies the idea of economic equality. Marx and Engels argued that capitalism inherently exploits workers, who sell their labor for wages while capitalists profit from the value produced. The solution, according to communism, is the overthrow of capitalist systems and the establishment of a proletarian (working class) dictatorship. This revolutionary phase would transition into a classless society in which private property is abolished, and wealth is shared among all members of society. 
  The key principles of communism emphasize collective ownership, state control of resources, and the idea of class struggle. In Marxist theory, history is understood through the lens of class conflict, where different social classes—such as the bourgeoisie (capitalists) and the proletariat (workers)—are in perpetual opposition. The ultimate goal is to establish a society free of these class distinctions, where everyone has access to the same resources and opportunities.
