The old world was built on conquest and silence. The New Earth rises from truth, balance, and belonging. Where justice is sacred, memory is honored, and life is protected.

Imagine a world where government wasn't something that loomed over individuals telling them who to love, what to ingest, or how to exist but instead operated as a force that held power accountable, redistributed wealth ethically, and ensured every human being had access to a dignified life.

Not through charity. Through Justice.

For most of history, governance has been about managing people: controlling their movements, regulating their behavior, taxing their income, and punishing deviation. Meanwhile, corporations, the largest and most powerful entities in the world today, have been left to self-regulate, consolidate power, and accumulate wealth at unprecedented scales.

What if we flipped the script?

What if governance existed primarily to regulate and guide corporations, not individuals?

What if taxes were collected not as a burden on everyday workers, but as a civic responsibility of corporations, scaled to their profits, carbon footprints, and impact on society?

What if public budgets were designed not to subsidize industries but to liberate people, guaranteeing housing, education, healthcare, clean air, and free time?

What if corporate taxes funded the very infrastructure of freedom? Universal healthcare so no one dies from preventable illness or goes bankrupt from being alive. Public transit and green cities so people can breathe and move without burning the world. Free education so potential and progress isn't held hostage by tuition. Universal basic income or public job guarantees so survival isn't tied to wage exploitation.

This isn't fantasy. It's a shift in values. It's choosing to see the economy as a tool not a god.

Corporations are granted personhood in the eyes of the law. They enjoy protections. They influence elections. They hold wealth and power on a scale rivaling entire nations.

Fine. Then let them be treated like citizens with responsibilities, obligations, and consequences.

Governments would ban lobbying that doesn't support democracy, and they would up break up monopolies to foster innovation and freedom, capping corporate profits beyond certain margins unless reinvested in social good. And then they would hold CEO's criminally responsible for large scale environmental or financial harm. 

A government, at it's best, is the expression of collective will. It exists not to manage the people, but to protect them from exploitation, inequality, and systemic harm.

A government that GOVERNS CORPORATIONS and SERVES PEOPLE would be radical only in how deeply sane it is.

Because freedom isn't just the absence of interference it's the presence of opportunity, dignity, and care.

Imagine that.

And then: DEMAND IT.
