Xova18
Xova18 refers to the 18 terms explored in Part 1 of Chapter 1 of our manifesto which succinctly prove why wealth is unfairly distributed under capitalism, and why well-funded public infrastructures and services, and a Universal Basic Income, are irrefutable human rights. Xova18 therefore represents one of the most irrefutable justifications for democratic socialism, which is the economic system our movement advocates for.
Xova18 refers to the following.
1. Power imbalances
2. Privilege inequalities
3. Structural violence
4. Privatization
5. Rent extraction
6. Interest extraction
7. Technological surplus extraction
8. Democratic surplus extraction
9. Compensation extraction
10. Wage theft
11. Price gouging
12. Coerced consumption
13. Externalities
14. Externality infrastructures
15. Tax evasion
16. Unethical tax avoidance
17. Underfunded support systems
18. Unsustainable fictitious capital
More precisely, power imbalances, privilege inequalities, and structural violence, refer to the personal and environmental conditions necessary for illogical and immoral forms of wealth accumulation under capitalism, and the remaining 15 describe the most prominent and specific ways wealth is illogically and immorally accumulated under capitalism. Xova18 also references the privatization of the world’s resources and the theft of technological surplus, which is why it can also prove why well-funded public infrastructures and services, and a UBI, are irrefutable human rights, since the world’s resources and technological surplus belong to everyone. Part 1 of Chapter 1 of our manifesto is only 18,000 words long for those interested in understanding these 18 terms in more detail.
