DEAR GOVERNMENT COMMISSIONER FOR MODERNISATION, DEAR DEREGULATON COUNCIL!

WITH GREAT JOY - ALTHOUGH FEARING HYPOCRITES - WE GIVE ACCOUNT THAT THE GOVERNMENT OF THE HUNGARIAN REPUBLIC HAS FINALLY, WITH THE CREATION OF THE DEREGULATION COUNCIL, DECLARED THAT IT IS AT ONE WITH THE REAL HISTORICAL FACT, ACCORDING TO WHICH COGNISCENCE OF THE NATURE OF THE HARMONIC SOCIAL ORGANISM, WHICH IS NOW BEING BUILT FROM BOTTOM TO TOP, HAS BECOME UNAVOIDABLE, AND THE OBSERVATION OF THIS IS THAT MERELY UNREAL, DANGEROUS (TO SELF OR PUBLIC) WORKS CAN BE CREATED (FROM TOP TO BOTTOM).

IT MAY SEEM LATE IN THE DAY TO INSTITUTE THE SEARCH FOR A THIRD PATH, AN ALTERNATIVE, FOLLOWING THE COLLAPSE OF SOCIALISM AND THE RESTORATION OF CAPITALISM, BUT WE ARE SURE THAT OUR SUGGESTIONS, BASED ON THE DYNAMISM AND NATURE OF MAN, AND MADE FOR THE TOTAL AVOIDANCE OF CRISIS AND SURVIVAL, POINT IN THE REALISABLE DIRECTION WHICH IS THE ONLY DIGNIFIED WAY OF LIFE FOR THE HUMAN SPECIES.

IN SO FAR AS THE DEREGULATION COUNCIL WISHES TO INDICATE ITS INTEREST (HELPING ON ITS OWN BEHALF) IN THE THREE BASIC TENETS OF OUR PROGRAMME SKETCH, BUILDING ON THE AXIOMATIC CONVICTION IN THE CREATIVITY OF FREE WILL, AND IS INTERESTED IN THE PRACTICAL INTRODUCTORY WORK CREATED BY US, THEY CAN DO SO AT THE FOLLOWING E-MAIL ADDRESS: iput@visio.c3.hu

The programme sketch of the living wage group is composed of freely associating individuals, who agree, correct and harmonise the public, personal and group interests in the association, with other members. The programme, like a proposition, or suggestion, serves to provide the members a conceptual space, to augment, adapt or develop. It also is to serve as the intellectual basis of an introduction to the social organism. The sketch like nature of the programme follows from its axiomatic past, and also from the fact that these are basic ideas, of which, during the course of their formation, and possible adaptation, we have taken account.
