Estonia, having gained independence, has a chance to construct another society. But what has it constructed? A labor camp in which people work for a minimum wage, a society of inequality, irrational use of resources.
I constantly receive advertizing of goods and I throw it out, even without reading. Hypermarkets spend money for advertizing of bowls, pants, means for cleaning toilets, shining sticks. And for the sake of this garbage woods are destroyed and the environment is polluted. Isn't it necessary to forbid all advertizing except electronic?
Annually hypermarkets of Estonia throw out products which cost 25 million euros while there are people who undereat. And no one cares about this cynicism and beastliness.
Nobody, except the Allocentric party of Estonia, wants to oblige hypermarkets to give away goods to poor people. Some of them even manage to sell pies with the expired storage duration at a discount. Greed doesn't know limits.
I think about a video where a private restaurant (of course, not Estonian) set a refrigerator on the street and each person in need could take food from there free of charge. How magnanimous!
Each person should have enough to eat. Food is not a privilege, but a human right which should be guaranteed by the state. The person shouldn't work for the sake of food and for food. Everything that the earth, the nature gives, should be free: flour, vegetables, fruit, milk, eggs, meat.
Wealthy men aren't concerned by the problems of the poor. Therefore the rich shouldn't be in power because they won't solve problems of citizens or build a society of a new type.
Philosophers should be in power!
Deputies should work for a minimum wage, as well as most of Estonian citizens. Only when deputies are personally interested in increase in a minimum wage, something will move off dead center.

social philosopher, social critic, founder of the Allocentric party of Estonia
