Organisation of Power

Obviously, the most fundamental building block of a society is how power is organised. In todays world, power is mostly held by countries alone, and also, but far less strongly, by international organisations from the UN to NATO, the EU and even international non-governmental organisations.

In a Spurrist society their would be a revolutionary redistrobution and reorganisation of power. Countries, as we see them today, will cease to exist. There will be a world state in which every person in the world has a direct say (Unlike the UN where we elect a government directly, but and then the government decides people to represent the country). The world government would have significant power, power to set world wide standards and laws, however it would not have absolute power. Next there would be nations, such as the countries we have today but with much less power, and maybe not the same borders. These nations would be able to decide their internal affairs to some extent, they would be able to make some laws specific to their country. Within these nations would be regions, such as groups of a few counties in the UK (Like the proposed devolution areas), and city councils, which would be pretty much the same as today, but would not control certain aspects which would be better centerally controlled.

About This Blog

Welcome to Spurrism, a blog about my ideology, an ideology that I feel would make a utopian world exponentially fast compared to current values throughout the world.

The first question you'll be asking yourself is "What exactly is Spurrism?". Well in simple terms, as a dictionary might define it, Spurrism is the
philosophy of Sean Spurr, but this doesn't tell you anything about the ideology and what it stands for. Quite simply, spurrism, unlike marxism, can not be defined in a single sentence. It takes views from all ideologies, and puts them together in an organised fashion that would be the building blocks of Utopia in our time.

Everytime I add something to this blog you will find out something more about Spurrism, it's values, why it stands for them, and you will come to realise what a perfect society it will create. A
