Mr. Zimberg owns numerous websites including Societism.org and believes to have rediscovered and clarified the term Societism through his life philosophy and having taken steps to have it included in dictionaries and encyclopedias, including Wikipedia. He states;
"The leading constitutional phrase "we the people" referring to the rights of individuals to decide on the powers and limitations of government has become misconstrued over the generations because individual freedoms are not free - and the responsibility to limit government (and similar self-interests) from excess liberties neglected. Societism empowers individuals to work together to maintain a higher level of political influence, to keep these two extremes in balance. The result being a higher level of personal liberty and a prolonged harmonic society".
