Hu ma n m o t i v a t ion determines the dire c tion a ny e c onomy ta ke s. This motiva tion c a n b e

I n o t h e r w o r d s , people are led by giving them either rewards (pleasure) or punis h m e n t
(p ai n ) .
E v e r y t y p e o f political system throughout history has manipulated society in the n a m e
o f t h e p e o p l e a nd ended up being for the be ne f it of the f e w. The c lose st we ’ ve ev e r c o me
t o t ru e f r e e d o m is in A merica. H ad we sta r te d a c le a r- c ut e c onomic syste m with p o litic a l
p o w e r, t h e p r o cess of freedom would have been complete. Capitalism was assum e d b u t
n o t i n st i t u t i o n alized leaving us vulner a ble to so- c a lle d sc ie ntif ic c ommunism.
T h e i n d u s t r i a l revolution embraced capitalism as its code, and the human race p r o s p e r e d
an d p r o g r e sse d faster than at any othe r time in histor y. Howe ve r, this pr ogr e ss w a s p e r-
v e r t e d b y g o v e rnment regulation in concert with the monopolistic mentality of a f e w. T h i s
s c e n a r i o , w h i c h could be termed Negative Capitalism, allowed a truly demonic s y s t e m o f
m i s p l a c e d c o m passion to take hold. Its inequities of Negative Capitalism were o b v i o u s
an d , so , c o m m unism took hold in seve r a l pa r ts of the wor ld.
I n A m e r i c a , a s low revolution of socialism has produced a mixed society. Gover n m e n t ,
i n c o l l u s i o n w i th Negative Capitalists, created the current system of solving pro b l e m s
t h r o u g h g o v e r n ment intervention. Freedom is freedom from government, but the m a r c h o f

U n f o r t u n a t e l y, in a democracy, the people have the added insult of losing their f r e e d o m
b y f a i l i n g t o c hoose correctly on the ballot. Most of the time, they do not really h a v e a
c h o i c e . I n s t e a d , the leaders use the dubious “which” close. This is sales jargon: W h i c h
w o u l d y o u r a t h er have on your new car--your initials printed in gold or in silver ? T h e
p r e s u m p t i o n i s that you already want to buy the car. Similarly, the leaders take t h e m o r e
i m p o r t a n t d e c i s ion out of your hands, knowing pe ople f e a r big de c ision. The c las s ic e x-
am p le i s t h e i n c ome tax. L ong ago, Ame r ic a ns vote d f or this ta x a s a sma ll e me rg e n c y

v o t ed i n t o e x i stence, the politicians and bur e a uc r a ts slowly but sur e ly a tta c he d th e m-
s e l v e s t o e a c h individual as permane nt parasites. Any social problem is an excu s e t o t a k e

t o r s , c o m m u n i s ts, kings and queens, and now, by trickery, with consent, by a de m o c r a c y.
T h e q u e s t i o n i s never, “Should we abolish the tax?” It is always a question abou t w h o
s h o ul d b e t a x e d the most. T he big de c ision ha s a lr e a dy be e n ma de to be ne f it the g o v e r n-

E v e r y s o c i a l p r oblem creates an economic pressure. Every economic problem req u i r e s a
s o l u t i o n . G o v e r nments always try to solve these problems with assistance. Assis t a n c e i s
n o t h i n g m o r e t han an excuse for governments to expropriate assets, involuntaril y, f r o m
s o m e o n e w h o h as earned them. Governments do not need to earn anything becau s e t h e y
can u se f o r c e . T hey need only find a soc ia l pr oble m, or c r e a te one , to ga in power.
T h e m o s t e x t r e me form of waste by government solutions is war. The formula is t h e s a m e
fo r a l l p r o g r a m s, w ith the exception o f tr ue e xpe nditur e s f or de f e nse a ga inst othe r g o v-
e r n m e n t s . T h e police, if used to protect life and property rather than to expedite p o l i t i c a l
p o l i c y, a l s o h a s a legitimate use by government. Beyond these two situations, a m i n i m u m
g o v e r n m e n t i s the best government.

t h at is m i sse d by capitalism w ill be ta ke n up by some one in the gove r nme nt.
Res i s t a n c e t o g o vernment assistance must be ma de in the na me of soc ia l ma tur ity. Citi-
z e n s m u s t g r o w up and stop taking the easy way out. Every time you receive som e t h i n g
f o r n o t h i n g f r o m the government, you have paid with the currency of freedom. S o m e t i m e s
t h i s l o s s o f f r e edom is your own, but most often it is the freedom of others that h a s b e e n

Wa r r e q u i r e s a n enemy. Someone in power has to convince others that they shou l d h a t e

E a c h o f t h e s e s ituations is a legitima te political problem. You cannot convert a b i g o t
i n t o a r a t i o n a l adult w ithout solving the unde r lying pr oble m of f e a r or stupidity. Re li-
g i o u s p r e j u d i c e is often promoted w ith the pr omise of a pr e f e r r e d a f te r lif e f or th e f o llo w-
e r s . T h i s t y p e o f manipulative behavior by organized religion may have had a le g i t i m a t e
r e a s o n f o r e x i s tence in the past, because it motivated the masses to protect them s e l v e s
a g a i n s t b a r b a r i ans and invaders. Today, with mass personal communication and e d u c a t i o n ,

Becau se o f m a s s communications, diff e r e nt c ustoms ha ve be c ome a de sir a ble c o mmo d ity

i n s t ea d o f s o m ething to fear or scorn . Tourism, a product of capitalism, takes fe a r o f t h e
u n k n o w n a n d t urns it into a thriving busine ss.
D i ff e r e n c e s i n economic systems seem to be behind most wars today. This is lud i c r o u s .
E v e r y e c o n o m i c system has a legitimate use. If the government allows freedom o f c h o i c e ,
t h e d i ff e r e n c e s w ill become very clear. The r e a r e pr e se ntly f ive ge ne r a l e c onomic s y s-

A t t i t u d e s t o w a rd society are not static. They are the essence of political evoluti o n . T h e
k ey to su c c e ssf ul transformation into positive c a pita lism is the unde r sta nding a nd a c c e p-
t an ce o f a d u l t economic responsibilitie s.
Un fo r t u n a t e l y, most citizens are really c hildr e n of the sta te a nd a r e tr e a te d so b y th e le a d-
e r s a n d b u r e a u crats. When children grow up, the mark of their maturity is indep e n d e n c e
fro m t h e i r p a r e nts. A lot of people have just e xc ha nge d this pa r e nta l de pe nde nc e f o r g o v-
e r n m e n t d e p e n dence. Governments encourage dependence because it vests powe r i n t h e i r
i n s t i tu t i o n s.
T h e p e r p e t u a l c hild mentality is a product of power manipulation. The power en t i t y u s e s
m i s pl a c e d c o m passion as a sales tool to extort money and control from the citize n s . A n
e x a m p l e o f m i s placed compassion would be using a poor, crippled, blind women w i t h
t wel v e k i d s a s a reason to collect billions of dolla r s f or tr a nsf e r pa yme nts by th e g o v e r n-
m en t. O b v i o u sl y, such individuals are tr ue ha r dship c a se s a nd de se r ve c ompa ssio n .
Th e tr i c k h e r e i s that governments th e n tr y to f ind e xc use s to pla c e a s ma ny on th e g o v-
ern me n t d e p e n dency list as possible. The we a k a nd the la z y f ind this pr ogr a m ve r y e n-
t i c i n g . T h e p r o gram has a basis for existence in society, but government solution s h a v e
n e v e r b e e n t h e answer. Politicians are merely buying votes with taxpayers’ mone y. T h e
p o l i t i c i a n s a r e s upported by the bureauc r a ts, who ha ve a ve ste d inte r e st in the ir jo b s .
Ev ery o n e i n v o l ved rationalizes this situa tion by c a lling it f a ir. But f a ir ne ss doe s n ’t in-
cl u d e m a k i n g slaves of the w orking cla ss f or the be ne f it of a nothe r c la ss of pe op le , th e
w e a k a n d l a z y. Good people normally want to help unfortunate or unlucky peopl e i n n e e d .
Th i s n o b l e u rg e is the idea most exploite d by gove r nme nts down thr ough the a ge s . T h e
s o n g i s t h e sa m e : You w ill sacrifice for the good of the ma sse s or e lse , “ or e lse ” b e in g
p h y s i c a l f o r c e or eternal damnation. The true benefactors are those who advocat e t h i s
m i s pl a c e d c o m passion.
T h i s s y s t e m o f expropriation and worker slavery has three parts to it, no matter w h a t i t i s
c a l l e d p o l i t i c a l ly or economically. Two parts are made up of immature political a t t i t u d e s .
T h e t h i r d p a r t , the victim consist mostly of nominals, Gentle criticism of this sy s t e m i s

a n d a d d e d a n e w burden on the middle class. This is a classic example of a coali t i o n o f
s o c i a l i s t s , s t a t i sts, and negative capitalists getting together to extort power from t h e
p e o p l e . T h e m i xed economy gives confusing signals to the casual political onloo k e r, b u t
“ c o n f u s e a n d c onquer” is the method used by this coalition. It appears to be all t h i n g s t o
al l p e o p l e . T h e net result is loss of powe r by the pe ople a nd inc r e a se d powe r by g o v e r n-
m en t a n d n e g a t ive capitalists. T he adult politic a l me nta lity use d positive c a pita lis m to
s o l v e p r o b l e m s. P ositive capitalists d o not use gove r nme nt f or c e a nd c oe r c ion.
M Y G O A L / T H E IR G O A L
Ev ery o t h e r sy s tem devised for the good of the pe ople ha s r e quir e d tha t, f ir st a nd f o r e-
m o s t, t h e g o v e r nment must control eve r yone . The se a rgume nts ha ve a lwa ys be e n lik e a
p a r e n t t a l k i n g t o a wayward child. The leaders always assume that people would p e r i s h
w i t h o u t t h e i r d ivine guidance. The opposite is the truth. People either learn to d e a l w i t h
o n e a n o t h e r f a i rly, or they perish natur a lly. Gove r nme nts only distor t the na tur al f lo w.
Th ere i s n o h i storical example of a p owe r f ul, be ne vole nt gove r nme nt.
Ev en Ma r x a n d E ngels, w ith their suppose dly sc ie ntif ic e c onomic syste m, ga ve a s th e ir f i-
n al g o a l t h e e l i mination of government. This wa s to c ome a bout a f te r the buildin g o f a s o-
c i a l i s t s t a t e . T he reason their system will not work is because of the negativity b u i l t i n t o
i t . T h e s a m e p a rental attitude prevails in communism that has prevailed in every o t h e r
s o ci a l sy st e m . They all use force and c oe r c ion to imple me nt the ir syste m.
T h e p e o p l e i n power will always feel most threatened by the best minds in their c o n t r o l l e d
s o ci e t y. T h e m ost mature and independe nt of minds will a lwa ys r e se nt the la c k of f r e e d o m
cau s e d b y g o v e rnments.
L e a de r s m u s t b e extremely intelligent and resourceful to survive in any society. T h e m a i n
p r o b l e m s t h e y have are the belief in their own supremacy and the fear that some o n e e l s e
c a n r e p l a c e t h e m. This immature intelligence will succeed for leaders until the n o m i n a l
a t t i t u d e i s m a d e aware of itself. Individuals’ confidence in their own ability to c h o o s e a
p o s i ti v e d e st i n y w ill be the key to fre e dom f r om gove r nme nt. Communic a tions an d te c h-
n o l o g y w i l l m a ke evolution possible. The present leaders will find they had noth i n g t o
f e a r a n d e v e r y t hing to gain. As soon as they realize that true power does not req u i r e a n y
v i ct i ms, t h e i r h a ppiness w ill be as gr e a t a s the ir le a de r ship.
L e a de r s h a v e a lways required a victim to gain power. Their goals have always b e e n
a c h i e v e d b y f o r ce or misplaced compassion. Their goals destroy freedom, no ma t t e r w h a t
t h ei r st a t e d o r i ntended goals w ere in the be ginning. The ir ve r y powe r will de stro y s o me

p r i n c i p l e , w i t h very few exceptions. The police and fire departments have the be s t c h a n c e

p ro ce ss i s c o m plete. T he defense of fr e e dom is the only noble r e a son f or a milit a r y to e x-

9. C A P ITA LI SM VS. CONTROLLI SM
P o s i t i v e c a p i t a l ism is the only political system that completely supports persona l f r e e d o m
f o r t h e i n d i v i d ual. Every other system wants to control individuals and the asset s c r e a t e d
b y i n d i v i d u a l s. C apitalism assumes de moc r a c y a s a me thod f or c hoosing le a de r s , b u t d e-
m o cr a c y c a n r o b and enslave some individua ls f or the be ne f it of the unde se r ving .
R e d i s t r i b u t i o n of wealth has been going on since time began. If wealth is redistr i b u t e d
n at u r a l l y, e v o l ution is served. If, howe ve r, a ny f or m of f or c e or c ontr ol is inte r j e c te d in to
t h i s p r o c e ss, t h e natural flow of evolution is slowe d down. I n se ve r e c a se s, soc ie ty h a s
act u a l l y m a n a g e d to go backw ard. T h e Da r k Age s a nd the two wor ld wa r s would b e e x-
a m p l e s o f t h i s backward evolutionary process. In every case, some form of cont r o l l i s m
was `th e p o l i t i c al reality.
Th e f o l l o w i n g list includes previous type s of c ontr ollism tha t ha ve a lr e a dy oc c u r r e d a n d
co n t in u e t o a b u s e citizens: Monarchy Dic ta tor ship Re ligious Contr ol Communis m So c ia l-
i s m D e m o c r a c y w ith a mixed economy
E a c h o f t h e s e s ystems has the same motives: Control the individual and control h i s a s s e t s
a n d a b i l i t i e s . E ach system has the po tential to be as bad as the other. The subjug a t i o n o f
t h e ci t i z e n t o t h e state seems to deter mine the de gr e e of da ma ge done to the na tu r a l e v o-
l u t i o n a r y p r o c e ss. F reedom is freedom f r om gove r nme nt.
Th e c u r r e n t v o gue in backw ard evolu tion, “ f or the good of the pe ople ,” is e ithe r c o mmu-
n i s m o r s o c i a l i sm. A mixed economy, a more subtle form of controllism, is just a s i n f e s t e d

fo rm s. F o r i n st a nce, the horse and bu ggy busine ss dissolve d to ma ke wa y f or the a u to mo-
b i l e b u s i n e s s . The International Capitalist Party should promote this type of tran s i t i o n , o r

t h at r e q u i r e s a clear direction.
Th e s e c o n d t y p e of dissolving business is a soc ia l pr oble m tha t is c ur r e ntly be in g d e a lt

t e r n a t i o n a l C a p italist Party will help dissolve government involvement in any ty p e o f
b u s i n e ss. O u r political challenge w ill be to f ind tr a nsitiona l solutions to pr oble ms p r e-
s e n t e d b y p o l i t icians and bureaucrats, with the ultimate goal of having private e n t e r p r i s e

M y p e r s o n a l p e t project will be trying to create employment in the section of an y c o u n t r y
t h a t i s u n d u l y s uppressed because of race or religion or government interference . A l o t o f

t h ro u g h a n y a l t r uistic method but rathe r with positive c a pita lism.
T h e f i r s t t h i n g we learn is that the oppressed minorities must learn to completel y i g n o r e
t h e o p p r e sso r. T he oppressor w ill neve r pa y a tte ntion to ple a s f r om the oppr e ssed . T h e s e

17. I n A m e r i c a i n t he 1980’s, the oppressed are becoming a victim of a silent econo m i c w a r.
D r u g s h a v e b e c ome the currency of the third world. This is negative capitalism a t i t ’s
m o s t v i r u l e n t . D rug lords understand c a pita lism a nd pe r ve r t it’s e thic s. Both the s u p-
p l i e r s ( T h i r d World poor countries) and the users (American ghetto children) ex c h a n g e
g o o d s a n d se r v ices, but not to the mutua l be ne f it of both pa r tie s. The dr ugs a r e k illin g
a n d m a i m i n g t he children of America. Most of the profit is going to the drug lor d s . T h e
fam o u s t r i c k l e d ow n theory keeps the thir d wor ld supplie r s f r om sta r va tion. Thi s is a c la s-
s i c e x a m p l e o f negative capitalism. While this can be called a business, it is in r e a l i t y a n
ex t o r t i o n r a c k e t. It causes good people to poison othe r good pe ople be c a use of t h e d e s-
p e r a t e n e e d s o f the supplier and user. This is like Hitler creating jobs by hiring p e o p l e t o
k i l l J e w s . I t i s a form of social insan ity that must be stopped, no matter what oth e r s o c i a l
p ro b l e m s a p p e a r. T he rise of fascism is the ine vita ble outc ome of this sc e na r io. T h e n w e
wi l l a l l h a v e l o st our freedom.

Yo u m i g h t a s k yourself how can I create a business using positive capitalism tha t w i l l
s o l v e t h i s p r o b lem. This is my challenge and this is my goal. The rest of this dis c u s s i o n

F o r t h e w e a l t h i e r advanced members, we will de ve lop a c ompute r vide o ne twor k c la s s-

t a l i s m . T h i s t y pe of classroom program or network will need a capital basis to s u p p o r t i t
i n i t i a l l y. I w i l l try to supply this capital basis myself, but it may have to wait un t i l t h e r e
a r e en o u g h m e mbers. This program will require extensive computer and video eq u i p m e n t .
We’l l n e e d a p ermanent headquarters a nd a la rge a dve r tising budge t.
O n e o f t h e m a i n purposes of this networking program, other than making profit f o r i t ’s
m e m b e r s , w i l l be the singling out of the best capitalists and making them known . T h e y
w i l l b e j u d g e d mostly on their problem solving abilities. They should be the new h e r o e s

Th e pa r t y w i l l make a list of problems tha t ne e d to be solve d. We will a lso list as ma n y
p o t e n t i a l s o l u t i ons as possible. We will then monitor these problems and solutio n s o n t h e

t i al go a l s a n d t hen let it evolve natura lly into wha te ve r the f utur e dic ta te s. The a b ility to
b e f l e x i b l e a n d creative in solving societies problems instead of having a system t h a t s o o n
b e c o m e s o b s o l e te, like communism, will be the beauty of The Capitalist Party. S o l u t i o n s

M o s t l a w s a r e good for most people, but fail to take into account the incredible d i v e r s i t y

t h e mi n i m u m .
M o r e p o l i t i c a l effort has to be put into eliminating old laws and stopping new la w s . T h e r e

Cal i f o r n i a . T h i s is a tw o-sided problem.
M o s t p e o p l e h a ve forgotten the meaning and purpose of uniting states. We have l o s t o u t
co n vi c t i o n s a b out the pow er and free dom c onta ine d within our Constitution. We h a v e
rep l a c e d t h e m with a contented super ior ity. We a r e like the spoile d, r ic h kid in th e n e ig h-

E q u a l e c o n o m i c opportunity is the key to a successful United States. With two h u n d r e d
s t a t e s r a t h e r t h an just fifty, the system would work that much better. Free trade w o u l d b e

P o s i t i v e c a p i t a l ism that assures constitutional democracy can raise the standard o f l i v i n g

an d c l e a r i n c o me properties is the fir st c hoic e f or the f ollowing r e a sons:
1 . P ro p e r t y o w nership is the main indic a tor of a f r e e soc ie ty. W he n the ma jor ity o f in d i-
v i d u a l s o w n r e a l estate, government c ontr ol is le ss pe r va sive .

cu m ul a t i o n o f capital w ill give our par ty the powe r to ge t it’s me ssa ge a c r oss to th e p e o-

3 . Ca p i t a l i sm i s by nature not altruistic . We e xc ha nge goods, se r vic e s, a nd ide a s f o r mu-
t u a l b e n e f i t . T he party therefore needs an investment medium that gives a profit t o t h e
p eo pl e w h o b e come members and w or k f or the pa r ty. The pr of it should be the f ir s t in d ic a-

m u m . T h i s “ c h ecks and balances” system will also assure that government regul a t o r s w i l l
n o t h a v e a h e y day trying to put us out of business. The government’s interferenc e w i l l b e

Th e r e a so n w e a re trying to sell democ r a c y inste a d of c a pita lism a s a n a lte r na tiv e to c o m-

Al l g o v e r n m e n ts, even the best, keep the ir e ye s on the powe r str ings. The y must p r a c tic e
a s m u c h c o m m unism as possible to enhance their power. They try not to label ec o n o m i c

T h e b i g g e s t p r oblem with this approach by the western world is that a communi s t c a n b e

W H AT G R O U P OF PEOPLE WILL BENEFIT THE MOST FROM A CAPITALIST T Y P E
P OL I T I CA L PART Y ?
Th e in d i v i d u a l w ill benefit the most. All gr oups will lose powe r. This is be c a use g o v e r n-
m e n t w i l l b e l e ss effective. The government will not control our lives; therefore , a l l t y p e s
o f l ob b y i n g a n d pressure groups will cease to have the ability to distort society f r o m i t ’s

wh en t h e so c a l led mixed economic s oc ie ty is se e n f or wha t it r e a lly is, a c onf us e d s o c i-
et y.
T h e g r o u p o f i n dividuals that will benefit the most are the ones furthest from a c a p i t a l i s t
l i fes t y l e . T h e se people are also the o ne s who think the y ha ve the most to lose . Th e y a r e
t h e p e o p l e w i t h the most immature attitude s towa r d huma nity. The y a r e a c oa litio n o f th e
“ s o m e t h i n g f o r nothing folks” and th e “control addicts.” Both types create havo c w i t h a
f r e e s o c i e t y. T hese individuals must be made to become productive members of s o c i e t y o r
t o s up p o r t t h e i r own bad habits. A truly needy person will find no shortage of co m p a s s i o n
fro m a c a p i t a l i st society.
“So me t h i n g f o r nothing people” and “c ontr ol a ddic ts” must be e xpose d, c ha stised , a n d
t h e n t r a i n e d t o improve their own self-esteem. The “something for nothing peop l e ” a r e
t h e i n f a n t i l e a d ults of the world. The y use the kindness of others to get by, and t h e n t h e y
a b u s e t h i s k i n d ness. They contribute nothing, believing the world owes them a l i v i n g .
T h e “ c o n t r o l a ddicts” (negative politicians, religious leaders, dictators and the l i k e ) u s e s
m i s pl a c e d c o m passion as a sales tool. The se inf a ntile a dults e nsla ve the wor ke r s b y c o n-

rel y o n a n e n e my to exist.
HOW W I L L T H E F IN A N C E S B E H A NDLED AND HOW MUCH W I LL I T COST ?
T h e t o t a l c o s t t o establish The International Capitalist Party is impossible to eve n g u e s s .
T h e i d e a i t s e l f could be powerful enough to make its existence an almost immed i a t e f a c t
o f l i f e . T h e o t h er side of the coin is that resistance or indifference to formation o f t h e
p art y c o u l d m a k e it very expensive.
M y a b i l i t y a n d commitment to start up such an unusual concept can also be a ma j o r f a c t o r.
I wi ll a t t e m p t t o fund the beginning c omple te ly by myse lf , but tha t might not be e n o u g h .
We w i l l p r o b a b ly need a pow er triangle to a c c umula te the sta r t up c a pita l. The p o w e r tr i-
an g l e w i l l c o n sist of the follow ing:
1 . M y a s s e t s a n d earnings. As a real estate investor and developer, I am in a pos i t i o n t o
p l a c e r e a l e s t a t e holdings in the name of The International Capitalist Party. Obv i o u s l y, I
wi l l h a v e t o l i v e from these earnings a nd a sse ts. I will tr y to ha ve ple nty le f t ov e r to a c-
co m pl i sh a su c cessful start up progra m. The mone y I spe nd will be use d a t my o w n d is c r e-
t i o n , a n d i t i s t he only money I w ill c ount on.
T h o s e w h o w i s h to use their own money and have this kind of discretionary mem b e r s h i p
can u se w h a t i s called a convertible gr a nt. This type of me mbe r ship give s the me mb e r th e
a b i l i t y t o c o n t r ol the assets placed within the party’s programs. Many people sh a r e m y
c o n c e r n o v e r t h e direction that the economies of the world are taking. The other t w o s i d e s
o f t he p o w e r t r iangle will give them an opportunity to participate and benefit as m e m b e r s
o f a po l i t i c a l p a rty w ith a clear and c onsiste nt me ssa ge .
W h i l e i t i s t r u e that we would accept outright donations, this is not the method o f r a i s i n g
m o n e y t h a t w e would prefer. Capitalism is based on a contract between two indi v i d u a l s
t h a t i s m u t u a l l y beneficial to both parties. The other two sides of the power tria n g l e w i l l
b as ed o n t h i s p rinciple, as w ell.
2 . M e m b e r s h i p , including individual unit trusts. This is the second side of the p o w e r
t r i a n g l e . T h i s method of raising money should appeal to the individual who sym p a t h i z e s
wi t h t h e p r i n c i ples of capitalism but wa nts mor e c ontr ol of the a sse ts tha t he or s h e c o n-
t ri b u t e s.
Wh at t h i s m e t h o d refers to is a trust a c c ount whe r e by the ne w me mbe r a nd The I n te r n a-
t i o n a l C a p i t a l i s t Party form a limited partnership, with the party being a limited p a r t n e r
a n d t h e n e w m ember placing assets into a numbered trust account. The new mem b e r i s t h e
g en er a l p a r t n e r on terms that are acce pta ble to the ge ne r a l pa r tne r. The a sse ts m u s t b e n-
efi t th e p a r t y i n some w ay and must n ot be a sse ts tha t would be c onside r e d ne gativ e c a p i-
t al i s m , su c h a s a business manufacturing some thing ha r mf ul to othe r s.
Th es e a sse t s c a n be placed into the tr ust a nd la te r withdr a wn a t the ge ne r a l pa r tn e r ’s r e-
q u e s t . M a x i m u m flexibility should be given to the general partner, but the party s h o u l d
n o t b e p l a c e d i n any jeopardy. Only the individual member ’s imagination will de t e r m i n e
t h e t y p e o f a sse t placed in the trust and the me thod tha t the a sse t be ne f its The In te r n a-
t i o n a l C a p i t a l i s t P arty.
28. 3 . M e m b e r s h i p including a variable net income trust deed. This is the third side o f t h e
p o w e r t r i a n g l e . Most individuals will want a passive way of participating in the g r o w t h
o f c a p i t a l i s m a s a political power. This method is safest and the most fair way o f r a i s i n g
m o n e y f o r t h e party and still giving a r e a sona ble r e tur n to the me mbe r.
We w i l l b u y a p artment houses free and clear of loans for maximum safety and th e n i s s u e
v a r i a b l e n e t i n come trust deed certificates based on the amount the member con t r i b u t e s t o
t h e p a r t y. T h i s way, no one can forec lose on the pr ope r ty, a nd the inc ome f r om th e in-
v e s t m e n t w i l l b e paid out to the member proportionate to member ’s contribution . Wi t h a
f i f t e e n y e a r t r u st deed, the entire contribution will be returned at that time, prov i d e d t h e
p r o p e r t y i s w o r th the original amount or more. The variable net income trust dee d w i l l
b en ef i t t h e p a r t y in the follow ing w ays:
( A ) H i s t o r i c a l l y, apartment houses go up in value proportionate to the increase i n i n c o m e .
We ca n p l a c e a fixed-rate loan on the pr ope r ty a f te r the initia l f if te e n ye a r me m b e r s h ip
p e r i o d a n d h a v e an income streams that can be used to further capitalist princip l e s a n d
i d eal s.
( B ) T h e I n t e r n a tional Capitalist Party will be the management organization that h a n d l e s
e a c h p r o p e r t y. The party will charge a normal market rate for this service. At so m e p o i n t
i n t h e f u t u r e , a f ter the initial fifteen ye a r sta r t up pe r iod, ma na ge me nt will be tur n e d o v e r

WIL L T H E PA RT Y B E O R G A N IZ E D OPENLY I N EVERY COUNTRY?
Th e on e t h i n g t hat w e must be most c a r e f ul of is the pr e va iling la ws of a c ountry. T h e s e
m u s t b e r e sp e c ted in the beginning, no ma tte r how hor r ible the y a r e .
T h e l e a d e r s a r e the problem in any government, whether elected or appointed. T h e y m u s t
b e s h o w n t h a t i t is to their advantage to c ha nge f or the good of e ve r yone , inc lud in g th e m-
s el v e s. P e o p l e who are talented and motiva te d e nough to be le a de r s must not be d is c o u r-
a g e d f r o m u s i n g their leadership abilities. They just have to evolve into better le a d e r s .
Th ei r p o w e r w i ll be more perfect and the ir se lf e ste e m a t a highe r le ve l if the y e mb r a c e
p o s i ti v e c a p i t a lism.
T h e c a p i t a l i s t political system should be the first that does not rely on brute for c e t o
ch an g e so c i e t y. A truly adult attitude towa r d soc ie ty will a llow f r e e dom to pr e va il. D e-
fen s e i s a m u st , but aggression is alwa ys c ounte r pr oduc tive . The pr oble m with a g g r e s s io n
i s o bv i o u s . G o vernments use aggression in the name of defense by tricking the p o p u l a c e
i n t o b e l i e v i n g t heir reason for aggression. This is an extremely difficult problem w i t h
w h i c h t o d e a l . World courts must be strengthened by giving them clear powers to e n f o r c e
v i o l a t i o n s. T h i s is an easier thing to sta te on pa pe r tha n to do in r e a lity.
A n y m e t h o d o f organizing positive capitalism in a country will be acceptable ex c e p t f o r
t h e u se o f f o r c e or coercion. T his obje c tive will ta x the ima gina tion of a nyone wh o b e-
l i ev e s i n f r e e d om for everyone.
Tech n o l o g y a n d ingenuity w ill probably be the ultima te a nswe r s in pr omoting th e p r in c i-
p l es o f g o o d c a pitalism. Money w ill p r ovide this oppor tunity to e mbr a c e f r e e dom f o r e v e r.
P e o p l e w i l l t h e n be free to keep the fruits of their own labor, rather than being s l a v e s t o
t h e i r o w n a b i l i t y. Governments can only exploit the abilities of the strong. They u s e t h e
w e a k a s a w e a p on against the best in humanity. Freedom is freedom from govern m e n t .
30. G o v e r n m e n t s s ell misplaced compassion. Open organization is our only weapon a g a i n s t a l l
t y p es o f g o v e r nment rule. Individual r e sponsibility must pr e va il a f te r gove r nme n ts d imin-
i s h i n p o w e r. T his is the evolutionary pr oc e ss a t its most positive a nd pr oduc tiv e .
WHAT I N D I V I DU A L S O R G R O U P S W I LL BE ASKED TO JOI N THI S POLI TI C A L PA R -
TY?
E v e r y o n e c a n b e a member as an individual. We will approve anyone who is inte r e s t e d .
A n y m e m b e r c an also join our maxi-level membership system and earn an incom e a s a
s p o n s o r. U n l i k e other political parties, we will charge for membership. Also, un l i k e o t h e r
p a r t i e s , i n s t e a d of asking for contributions, we will put your membership money t o w o r k
f o r y o u . Yo u w ill receive an income from this membership money, and it will be r e t u r n e d
t o y o u a t a l a t e r date.
In ad v a n c e d d e mocratic countries, w e will a c t mor e a s a n a dvoc a te of positive ca p ita lis m
t h a n a s a n o p p o sing political party. If the party grows naturally over a long peri o d o f t i m e
i n t o a p a r t y w i th good political leade r s to pla c e on the ba llot, so muc h the be tter. Bu t th is
s h o u ld n o t b e o ur immediate goal in a dva nc e d de moc r a c ie s.
In o t h e r c o u n t r ies, members w ill be mor e inte r e ste d in ha ving a politic a l pa r ty th a t c a n
b r i n g p o s i t i v e capitalism to the people. Unfortunately, in many places, a membe r c a n n o t
o p enl y o p p o se the present system, and so it will be ne c e ssa r y to ha ve numbe r e d me mb e r-
s h i p a c c o u n t s, much as S w iss bank acc ounts pr ote c t individua l me mbe r s. Unlike Sw is s
a c c o u n t s , o u r n umbered membership accounts must conform to the investment fe a t u r e s o f
t h i s ty p e o f m e mbership.
D e m o c r a t i c c o untries can consider individual membership in The International C a p i t a l i s t
P a r t y i n o p p r e s sed societies an export product. Membership in these countries w i l l b e a
g o o d b a r o m e t e r of the support for the freedom movement. Foreign policy makers w i l l b e
a b l e t o j u d g e r eal support in an oppressed country by the number of membership s i n T h e
I n t e r n a t i o n a l C apitalist Party. To quote an old American saying, “Put your mone y w h e r e
y o u r m o u t h i s . ” Membership will act very much like a black market vote where v o t e s a r e
n o t e v e n a l l o w ed.
We w i l l p u b l i c i z e the number of membe r s in a n oppr e sse d c ountr y a s a wa y f or f r e e c o u n-
t ri es t o p r e ssu r e oppressive governments to c ha nge the ir wa ys. The a dva nta ge of th is
m e t h o d i s t h a t governments can change for the better without having to change l e a d e r s .
We w i l l b e a b l e to show leaders that r e f or m is to e ve r yone ’s be ne f it. This me tho d s h o u ld
red u c e t h e a m o unt of violence used to c ha nge the politic a l syste ms, whic h ha s m a r k e d h u-
m an p r o g r e ss i n the past.
W h e n w e h a v e enough members, membership will not be important. Humanity w i l l h a v e
m at ur e d i n t o a p osition of responsible f r e e dom.
