Abstract
In
1789 the world changed. Not on July 14th
but
in the winter in France of the first year of the revolution.
To
avoid complete bankruptcy of the state of the Ancien Regime, the
protagonists of the bourgeoisie introduced Assignats.
Assignats
are banknotes which guarantee the holder a share of the church’s
wealth.
This
helped to raise loan capital which was essential to the
revolution. Under the state of Louis XVI it was decreed on
November 2nd1789
that the land including all buildings belonging to the church
should be confiscated. This would in part help to repay the
national debt.
This
historical act was unprecedented and was the first step in the
Transformation to subdue the force of Bourgeois Law. Firstly
in France and then spreading outside the “Grande Nation”:
I buy, therefore it belongs to me.
This
simple logic of the market became law under the Emperor Napoleon
Buonaparte.
Known
as the „Code Civile des Français”
it
was enforced worldwide and in some areas, whose people have not
yet surrendered to bourgeois law, the weapons are speaking even
today.
The
right to own the land can only be described as a barbaric law.
The
assertion that the creation of National States corresponds to
Immanuel Kant’s theory of “Practical Reason”
can be refuted: but who reads Kant? Who is concerned about such
circumstances? The majority of people orientate themselves on the
ruling media and as long as they are better off than the people
outside their houses they will vote for the political party that
promises
to
put food on their table.
They
imagine to be safe, but having gained the right to own land they
have opened Pandora`s Box.
Only
few years later the amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere
began to rise exponentially. The earth’s natural resources
that been grown over millions of years are being used up for
their markets. The
equality of people, on which the Bourgeois Law is based, means
that this Law forces the people only to watch the climate change.
It
must be doubted if the hope that was left in Pandora´s Box
will be able to stop the climate change. One
thing we can be certain of is that the political parties won't
stop it.
Only
if the Property Law is repealed quickly and the land is given
back to nature, only then may we look into the future with more
confidence. The land belongs only to nature. Man cannot override
this truth.
The
author doesn’t only explain, he also offers a way out with
a system of disposal and voting rights on the use of the land, so
that the latter can hopefully be administrated by the common
reason of man in the future.
