From Each According To His Ability, To Each According To His Needs

 




In today’s world, survival has become the main focus of existence —whether rich or poor. Most choices people make are about survival, not about living for a higher cause or a better quality of existence. The focus remains on self and family, with little realization of the individual’s impact on mass consciousness.

Blind competition dominates, but the outcome is clear: stress-related diseases are on the rise, compassion is dismissed as illusory, and collapse can happen in seconds. Luxury is no longer about joy; it has been reduced to another weapon in the competitive race.



Life Beyond Survival

Life is not only about working endlessly while ignoring the issues that truly matter—stress, abuse, domestic violence, emotional exhaustion. Life is about breathing easily, looking at nature, and experiencing pure calmness woth inner contentment . There is no ending of running until people realize that it’s not working . You can never relax and enjoy happiness while running . 

Parallel economy grows and smuggling , drugs trade , organs trade , porn trade becomes a necessity for those who choose to survive with huge amounts of money but live in extreme bitterness, domestic violence and inner stress. They have no idea that they can get more happiness if they put effort on creativity ,positivity and mindfulness . The rise is slower but it’s more evolved . Calmness is the mark of soul evolution not success . Success is the tool for calmness which may reduce success but will increase with inner happiness .


Several people working on positivity and mindfulness will create a world that is happier to live in not just technologically advanced . The rise of the current comedy profession is an indication that people desire laughter therapy over stressful activities .


This brings us back to Karl Marx. In his Critique of the Gotha Programme (1875), he gave us one of the most powerful visions:


“From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs.”


This is not about being communist. I am not a communist—I believe in art, music, healing, positivity, and creativity. But this principle can help us solve problems of survival that economics has ignored for too long.


Research shows that the rich often face more stress and life threats than the poor. Every person is running for survival instead of being calm enough to enjoy love, care, or happiness. One moment of happiness leads to years of loan repayments because the system is tied to money, not human flourishing. Negative consciousness breeds wars and terrorism.



Competition and the Marginal Utility of Positivity

Economists often speak of the marginal utility curve, where benefits increase to a point and then decline. Competition works the same way: initially, it fuels motivation, but after a peak, it creates more harm than good. Today, competition has crossed into its negative side—leading to stress, disease, and collapse.





(This curve shows that positivity rises with moderate competition but declines sharply once competition exceeds balance.)


Why This Matters Today

Back in 1994, while studying economic systems, it was taught that capitalism, once it reaches its peak, collapses under its own contradictions. What follows is not primitive communism, but a communitive communism—a shared system of resources and responsibilities.


Today we see early signs of this transition. Governments and communities are stepping in where individuals cannot cope:


  • Education & Nutrition Expenses
  • Elderly and old-age assistance
  • Single women raising children with jobs
  • Animal Welfare and rehabilitation 
  • Rising medical expenses and doctor visits



These are collective problems, not individual ones. And collective solutions are needed. Economics must expand beyond money, integrating energy, frequencies, and resonance into how we understand distribution.


Moving Beyond the Worship of Money


When money is worshipped above all else, human values fade. The soul-nourishing aspects of life—music, art, dance, writing, health, and creativity—are pushed aside.


Instead, society must shift towards:


  • Work-life balance as priority
  • Creativity and health valued alongside productivity
  • Individual desires and well-being supported
  • Community care replacing isolation



Action without reflection is futile. People invest years in chasing outcomes (a car, a marriage, a house), only to realize they don’t solve loneliness or stress. Investments must be guided by resonance—matching real needs to desires—rather than fast-track consumption.





The Future of Economy and Human Flourishing



The future is not about endless competition but about cooperation and balance. Every person has unique abilities, and society thrives when those are shared. In return, each individual deserves support to live with dignity and joy.


That is the essence of Marx’s vision—and it can be reinterpreted today as a call to move from survival to true living.


🌍 A world where each contributes according to ability, and each receives according to need, will be a world where we finally breathe easily again.
