DECOLONIZE LAW
Law of Equality
Foundational Principle of law of equality
A WORLD BASED ON EQUALITY
How Decolonizing Law Transforms Society
By establishing the Law of Equality, we create a legal foundation for genuine justice and community wellbeing.
The current colonial legal system perpetuates punishment, inequality, and oppression.
Decolonized law provides the framework for communities to thrive through restorative justice and mutual support.
The Principle of Absolute Material Equality
The community guarantees every person an equal share of all resources (money, housing, food, healthcare, education, etc) sufficient for a dignified life.
Foundation of Equality
With primary motivators for crime being to get money, by removing the artificial created value of money and making money equal and available to everyone free, the very concept of most traditional crimes disappears.
Reclassification of “Crimes”
Under this new framework, actions are not judged as inherently “right” or “wrong” but are evaluated based on their impact on another individual’s person or guaranteed equality.
Eliminated Colonial Crimes
Christian and religious colonial crimes are abolished. Theft becomes illogical when all needs are met. Drug possession is decriminalized. “Victimless” consensual crimes no longer exist.
Restorative Justice System
The legal system focuses on rehabilitation, not punishment. Anyone who commits crimes is presumed to need psychological help or rehabilitation, with focus on victim support and community healing.
The Law of Equality Framework
โ Eliminated Crimes
Theft & Property Crime – Since all material needs are guaranteed, stealing for survival becomes illogical. People simply request funds from the community.
Drug Possession & Use – All psychoactive substances are decriminalized. Legal status shifts from prohibition to equality and informed consent.
“Victimless” Consensual Crimes – Treating someone as less than another person is recognized as a mental sickness requiring treatment, not punishment.
๐ค New Legal Categories
Acts of Force & Coercion – Assault, murder, rape, fraud. These violate another’s person or rights and attack community guaranteed equality.
Acts of Sabotage – Willfully destroying or hoarding community resources that guarantee everyone’s equality.
Violation of Informed Consent – Providing substances without full knowledge of effects and risks becomes a paramount law protecting bodily autonomy.
๐ Justice & Rehabilitation
Focus on Healing – Since economic motives are removed, offenders need psychological help, not punitive punishment.
Victim-Centered Approach – Ensuring victims receive support and rehabilitation to restore community equality.
Restorative Process – Protecting society, diagnosing root causes, and providing therapy and social reintegration programs.

Absolute Material Equality
Every person receives an equal share of all community resources – money, housing, food, healthcare, education – sufficient for a dignified life.
Crime Prevention Through Equality
By removing artificial scarcity and making all resources freely available, the economic motivations for most traditional crimes disappear entirely.
Decriminalization of Personal Choice
Drug use, consensual activities, and personal choices are no longer crimes. The law focuses only on actions that harm others or community resources.
Informed Consent Protection
Providing substances without full knowledge of effects becomes a paramount law, protecting bodily autonomy and informed choice in a decriminalized environment.
Restorative Justice System
The legal system transforms from punishment to rehabilitation, focusing on healing root causes and reintegrating individuals into the community.
Community Guardians
Police are replaced with community guardians focused on de-escalation, resource connection, and protecting public safety through presence and mediation.
Support Hubs Not Courts
Courts become conflict resolution centers where harm is acknowledged, root causes addressed, and collaborative healing plans are developed.
Pathway to Joy Framework
The legal system’s primary function becomes creating conditions for every individual to safely explore their potential and experience joy, free from harm.
Self-Sustaining Well-being
By meeting needs and fostering wellbeing from the beginning, the system aims to make itself increasingly obsolete through a culture of mutual support.
Join the Movement to Decolonize Law
The transformation begins when we reclaim our legal sovereignty. Together, we can build a world where law serves people equally, creating conditions for joy and wellbeing for all.
