Why we don’t have peace on Earth

Friday, September 12, 2025

Why can’t we live together in peace on this planet? Why is our world still a hell, after so many generations of good will? Life is hard enough for many people because of natural disasters, why do we have to add more misery by making wars between peoples?

If you ask me, I can tell you one thing: the ultimate cause for all our problems is Article 17.1 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “1. Everyone has the right to own property alone as well as in association with others.” More precisely it is only the “alone as well as in association with others” clause. This clause is the fatal error of capitalism. It puts natural persons and legal persons (corporations, companies, etc.) in the same pot, thus giving a human right to spirits. Yes, legal persons are nothing more than spirits. And there are two kinds of spirits: good and bad. A bad spirit should not have a right to property. Good spirits are those who serve all humanity, bad are those who serve a small group of individuals. These thoughts aren’t new. I write about them in Stop mixing up corporations and humans.
