To a question about the term civil autonomy
If ever in the XXI-XXII Century, sooner or later, there will an opportunity for revolutionary changes, initially it can manifest itself in any one place in the world, and not all states at once. The land on which occurs, this point will be the territory of any state, but people who try to start these changes will be citizens of this state.
The word "citizens" there is no negative connotation.Department of citizens of the state and a civil autonomy, since this department is the creation of a radically new social community, not the state. The most felicitous term, which can be designated such an office is a civil autonomy. That is, autonomy is a civil - administrative-territorial division, first, second, a society based on different principles than society era of globalization of capital.These principles include clearly the term "libertarian communism".
Medicine
Formally, free medical help now seem to be there. For example, in Russia it is enshrined in Article 41 of the constitution. In fact, any citizen, registered in the same subjects and ask for help in other regions of Russia, as a rule, receives a denial of free health care. In the wise law clearly stipulates that health policy is valid throughout Russia, in reality, it is not.
This happens not only because of various bureaucratic bottlenecks.This happens not only because of mandatory health insurance contributions are deducted in the national budget is one subject of the Russian Federation, and he may live in another. This is because Russia part of the global neo-liberal world in which the social sphere is also considered as a sphere of capital gain.
The only document entitling them to free medical care and other social services should be only a passport.In fact, require a lot of other bills.
Municipal and federal health agencies, as a rule - is broken down buildings with outdated facilities, and workers who receive very little money. Issues of improving the quality of care, the introduction of truly free medical care - all these, theoretically, can be solved without revolutionary changes in the already existing relations.However, an obstacle to their final decision are the capitalist economy and it generates social inequality. Under capitalism, which has more money, alienating the public wealth, has more opportunities to receive higher quality care than less affluent people. Under capitalism, the same high-quality, free health care for all members of society - is impossible.
In terms of civil autonomy medical care should be equally high for all.Modern society pays insufficient attention to the health services, education and training. Social forces are spent entirely on the other - the brokering activities, increased profits the few otuplenie and entertainment.
In terms of civil autonomy only document that gives the right to receive all types of medical care will only be an identity card certifying membership in the Civil Authority.
In terms of civil autonomy should not be a special departmental health facilities for police, military, members of public committees, or any more social groups.All should be served in the same, the same institutions, and only them - to their improvement and development, should spend public funds. No separate service areas - spetsgostinits, spetsstolovyh, spetstualetov should not be. People create their own privilenii will be penalized. Working in public positions should not use the special transport.They should like all go to work in the subway, bus, tram and not for the sake of showing off, as it sometimes did some state leaders, but always, every day. All who serve on public office should know the state of society, not only for analytical notes, but also in their own daily experience.
In terms of civil autonomy medicine, education, education - should be the important area of public efforts, which in the conditions of statehood are the army, police and intelligence agencies.
