“Omniocracy is the blueprint for a truly just world.” — Peter Young, author/animal activist
“If you like books that are extremely thought-provoking, highly controversial, and make you question everything you thought you knew, then this book is for you.” — Jane Velez-Mitchell, journalist/author
“A life-changing scholarly book and much needed in a world that is dominated by and for the human. As the author convincingly states: Nonhuman animals will remain in chains until they are recognized within the political system.” — Gene Baur, president of Farm Sanctuary
Omniocracy (AHM-nee-ocracy) argues for a science-based animal rights philosophy and a government of, by, and for all living beings.
Democracy—often lauded by the animal and environmental movements—is a totalitarian regime in which the powerful (Homo sapiens) use, abuse, manipulate, and murder the powerless (animals) for the former’s own perceived gain. This system of government must be eradicated if nonhumans are to be viewed as true constituents, stakeholders, and citizens. Omniocracy—a government with representation for all living beings—is the best option.
Most animal rights advocates err by asking people to use their free will to be moral agents and give sentient animals respect. This argument sabotages the goals of the movement. Free will and absolute morality are not only fairy tales, they are destructive ones. They derail true equality for all living beings by secretly promoting hierarchy, disconnectedness, and a hatred for others. They reinforce speciesism and the erroneous view that humans are the crown of creation.
Omniocracy offers a better approach. It embraces the determined and amoral universe, then builds a political structure based on pragmatism and the “definitional good.” This structure has an added benefit: it brings together the animal and environmental movements, which have long been at odds. An omniocratic system is foundationally consistent and advances much-needed concern for all living creatures and the planet.
