Abolition of the right of inheritance is one thing that most people (the wealthy) definitely oppose because they don't want to lose their life as ceasing to have everything they have. They don't want to give up their fortune and start over again from the beginning by means of being part of working class.
There are several institutions that can take the right of inheritance as well as managing it, such as: states/governments, religious institutions, charity trusts/foundations and other similar institutions.
Can you imagine if this condition is applied in your country? Thanks God it does not apply in Indonesia nor New Zealand.
Anyway, if you would like to calculate your financial power that you can inherit to your children or give away for charity, you can visit this link. It's funny because the calculation is totally based on capitalist view of compounding interest in the financial market.
Abolition of the Right of Inheritance
Indonesiaku: my own nation states
Lebih baik meruntuhkan diri daripada diruntuhkan. Kalau diruntuhkan, kita bisa jadi memerlukan waktu berabad-abad untuk bersatu kembali. Sementara, kalau meruntuhkan diri, kita cuma memerlukan satu hari saja untuk menyatakan komitmen untuk bersatu kembali.Akhirnya mimpi saya untuk membangun negara sendiri terkabul sejak bermain di nationstates.net.
Dipecah dulu dalam beberapa pemerintahan daerah dengan nasionalisme daerahnya masing-masing, baru kemudian dibentuk Dewan Pemerintahan Intra Nasional Kepulauan Indonesia.
Niscaya kesejahteraan seluruh rakyat Indonesia akan tercapai. (link)
Saya membuat dua negara. Yang pertama, The Incorporated States of Anymatters dengan semboyan "Any Days, One Nation". Yang kedua, The Grand Duchy of Somematters dengan semboyan "Some Days, One Nation". Tinggal pilih negara mana yang anda suka untuk berimigrasi.
Yah, namanya juga joke. Anything's possible.
Fundamentalism or Relativism
Benedict XVI, the new Pope, showed a critical thought.
"Having a clear faith, based on the creed of the church, is often labeled today as fundamentalism," he said at the Mass. "Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and 'swept along by every wind of teaching,' looks like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards."
Cardinal Ratzinger has often criticized religious relativism, the belief - mistaken, he says - that all beliefs are equally true.
"We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires," he added. (link)
Relativism is my only option actually. I would not judge you for doing a wrong thing because having a different opinion or belief from me. I like to make friend with anyone but the idiot, because my relativism does not apply for a person who is too deficient in mind to be capable of rational conduct.
Being a fundamentalist? I don't think so. Concerning also my cosmopolitanism view lately, it's hard for me to accept that. I just got the spirit though, but not the application.
In fact, I'm a Christian-born Indonesian who has a bunch of Christian and Moslem friends and tries to socialise with the local churches in NZ. At the moment, I try to understand what is in the mind of people who naturally adopts agnosticism and secularism. It's a common phenomenon in here.
