A draft regulation of the citizens of Europe

OWN THE MACHINE

Capital for all, so the dividend follows.

When production no longer needs labour at scale, every citizen of the Union should hold a share of what the machines produce. This is the law that does it: a complete draft EU Regulation, written in the open, its objections published at full strength before its articles.

The mechanism

One non-voting warrant per hyper-automated firm: 3 % of the equity, claimed only at the moment its owners themselves cash in. Nothing is payable in cash and nothing enters any public budget.

The entitlement

Every adult citizen of the Union holds an equal, personal, untouchable entitlement in a common Reserve. No means test, no application, no conditions. Distributions start small and compound across a generation.

The method

Drafted in public, adversarially reviewed, every verdict and every fix on the record. The ledger shows the law arguing with itself, and losing arguments it deserved to lose.

Declared interest: the draft grew out of a book by its initiator; the campaign stands on its own legal text, and every argument here can be checked without buying anything. Draft at commit a331620.
