Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I'm not a political and social science think tank, so I cannot propose anything. I doubt there is one method or approach to just establish this.
I mean I could tell you that I would "just" pay everyone basically the same, have "free" housing standardized for everyone and have them relocate to not further than 15 mins from their work, demolish single family houses, have students paid for studying, have parents paid for parenting, provide "free" necessities and basic foods, and get rid of bullshit jobs and companies that make products for empty consumption. But I mean, "just". That's obviously a thought experiment that happens by a complete layman and I doubt that I could win people for this, let alone in a democratic way.
That's fine, I am more asking a question to get you to think about method as well. Lots of people agree on goals, but methods of getting there are diverse, and many of them are fantasy, which makes the goals pointless.
People have unequal abilities and unequal needs. People shouldn't be paid the same, the whole of production should be in service of fulfilling the needs of the whole of society.
You'll find that many people agree with you on this, but if you can't achieve this electorally, your option becomes Revolutionary in nature.
