WESTERN (ANGLO) POLICY IN FOUR RULES
1) Secular Christianity (“Human Rights Worship”)
Individuals have property rights including to the self, that states may not violate. (This is ‘rule of law’ or ‘natural law’ that constrains the state – any state and all states.) Property rights, (human rights), science and Reason therefore determine the validity of any discourse, and no other values ever, take precedence over them.
2) Commercial Prosperity (“mutually beneficial voluntary exchange”)
Principle: Adam Smith. The wealthier we are the more choices we have, the better lives that we have. (This actually appears to have limits.)
3) Good Commercial World Citizenship (“”)
You have the obligation to conduct your competition through trade, and that is the only competition that you may conduct – because it is mutually beneficial. If you conduct any other kind of competition then we will also engage in that competition to protect the pattern of trade.
4) Self Determination – You may choose your own government. However, you and your government will be held responsible for 1,2 and 3 above. You will be allowed to select any self determination that does not violate 1,2 and 3.
UNFORTUNATELY THE WEST ONLY TALKS ABOUT SELF DETERMINATION. WHICH CONFUSES THE “DEVELOPING” WORLD.
