1. Cartelera Social
Utopia is urgent and necessary
Obviously the current social structure presents too many problems and too much
irrationality, so it can’t be sustained much longer. Surely something has to go
through and profoundly alter the current state of affairs.
We’ve left too many spaces to poverty and malnutrition, to human rights abuses, to
misuse of natural resources.
Family is the basic institution of our society and we haven't paid enough attention to
its daily needs or to education and recreation needs; we haven't paid enough
attention to children protection either. We haven't taken proper care of drug addicts
and the armed conflicts and wars reasons either. At the same time we haven't
managed to emphasize the transmission of ethical and spiritual values and social
coexistence as a way to impose these ideas and life guidance over the materialistic
obsessions and the most selfish feelings.
Violent clashes between human groups by race, by gender or sexual orientation, by
ideological and political differences, by cosmological-philosophical and religious
differences, by ancient hatreds transmitted from generation to generation, are issues
that we’ve allowed to progress too much. Obviously also the so called common crimes
and street violence have progressed at an alarming rate, creating a feeling of
insecurity which is unfortunately consistent with what happens in the social
structure.
The Catalan social activist Agustí Chalaux said that love and solidarity -intelligently
expressed in economic terms and in an appropriate institutional structure-, can
provide us the most of gains. Manifestly, this intelligent social philosopher had the
boldness and steadfastness of developing a complete social project, which is integral,
comprehensive and feasible, and as a whole, accomplishes to solve the most serious
problems of our time; but his words and ideas, which circulate in certain academic
scopes, have not yet reached -as they should- neither the more prominent and
important mass media nor the political decision-making ambit.
The previous paragraphs have identified a series of social coexistence problems that
the vast majority of people will clearly identify as serious or very serious troubles,
which we are clearly dealing with -as a society- in a very inadequate way.
Let’s see, we try to tackle poverty and destitution through international cooperation,
through national social programs financed by the tax system, and recently, through
the well known millennium development goals. Obviously these mechanisms have
proved inadequate.

2. On one hand, we try to solve the problems generated by drug trafficking, smuggling
of goods -particularly the smuggling of weapons- and the so called common crime
through a repressive and punitive system that without doubt has given very few and
poor positive results so far. And worse, our prison structures are so overcrowded and
damaged that rehabilitation and reintegration of the offenders is a mere theoretical
target which is not reflected in reality.
We’re not clearly managing education as we should, at least in some regions and
within certain social groups; dropout and illiteracy still remain too high.
Today, values education is promoted by many educational institutions, and is
certainly reflected in some educational content and also in the publicity that some
educational institutions perform, but then, when students fully integrate themselves
into civilian work life, they find companies which carry legal and illegal/deceptive
accounting practices, as well as corruption and abuse of authority at various levels,
widespread tax fraud, kickbacks and bribes, public officials who hasten
administrative procedures for a small commission, irregularities and abuse
committed by both employers and employees, high level professional speculators and
also occasional opportunistic speculators who enrich themselves in an unmerited and
unfair way, etc. And given this reality, a lot of people leave their principles aside
wondering: Why not me too?
Climate change and environmental degradation are a palpable reality, but
regulations -both at international and national levels- are inadequate and grossly
atomized. The evidence on ecological damage and the economic assessment of these
damages are set with excessive slowness and difficulty, and indeed the recovery of
damages as compensation is late and happens in very few cases, so this course of
action today does not act properly, neither as a source of deterrence nor persuasion.
However, money is the major distributor of resources and opportunities, and could be
an organizational element acting with greater strength than the spiritual and moral
principles. But of course, as Agustí Chalaux well said, the money we currently use is
neither informative nor responsible, and as a direct result of this factor we live in an
economic-monetary chaos, though it provides a predictable overall development,
fluctuating between certain limits.
Nominal money and an intelligent currency engineering that allows the complete
tracking of the payment chain and transfers on a global level could mean a very
important roll in our coexistence relationships and in our social development. To a
large extent today, the judiciary and the Government must act in hugely uncertain
environments; and telematic money, proposed more than twenty-five years ago in the
Catalan academic field, could represent a radical shift to this situation.
As soon as the chaotic situation and the possible change in the nature of money are
considered, many will be convinced that the only viable solution for our sick
socioeconomic structure is to move towards a higher degree of automation in the
financial management, including the use of virtual currencies and also including a
substantial improvement in the standardization and centralized management of
historical transaction databases. This may well star out with a single country or a

3. monetary union, but sooner or later, we should be able to cover almost the entire
planet; otherwise we would be leaving a too valuable space to tax havens.
Tax havens are the weakest side of liberal capitalism. The sometimes pompously
called “International Financial Services Centers” are the cancer of the liberal and
competitive economy. Taxes and fees are the price to pay for a civilized society, but
attention: tax evasion and tax havens should not be fought with inspections and
punishment, and certainly not with calls for solidarity and morality. A suitable
financial institutional framework -where tax evasion and tax havens are practically
and basically non-existent- should be established; an appropriate financial
institutional framework should be established, in which tax evasion and tax havens
are basically almost impossible to carry out.
These thoughts end up here with a recommendation and an invitation to readers. The
social order and the problems of our time are everyone’s responsibility and we would
do wrongly if we conveniently leave these matters solely in the hands of technicians
and/or the rulers of the day, and/or the heads of the international organizations.
Each one of us at our own level and according to our abilities in this regard should
have a careful attitude, in creative innovative thinking, in seeking information and
solutions, and of course also in the dissemination of these concerns by word of mouth
and/or through the available media.
We, who for some time have deepened in the solutions conceived and expressed by
Agustí Chalaux, confirm that the marked path could provide us such great benefits,
that their mere enumeration could easily make believe we’re describing a
unattainable and unrealizable social utopia. But utopia is urgent and necessary.
We’re not asking the eventual reader to believe this lines as is; we’re only asking you
to take into account the recently expressed points of view, and to become acquainted
of this topics the best that you can, for example by appropriate Internet searches, for
example visiting the sites listed below:
http://www.bardina.org/ http://www.chalaux.org/ http://www.finaly.org/
In the web sites listed above, there is plenty of information on the recently marked
issues, both in video and text format, and indeed in different languages: Spanish and
Catalan, but also English, French, Italian, German, Galician and even Esperanto.
Inform yourself the best that you can, and form your own opinion.
We set social structure together, and together we must reorder it and improve it.
