3. Libertarian/ Socialism /Capitalism..

with a slight emphisis on Capitalism.

I kid the Libs. Like I say they should all meet hot death, but.... If they would just embrace a little world order.......

2. Capitalism

but with a socially responsible angle. This is not an altruistic thing - the ability of every citizen to have a good education and health care affects us all.

4. Those are economic systems

Best system of government is Democracy. Democracy with a balanced media and very regulated political contributions.

6. social capitalism

FDR once said something to the effect of capitalism needs a little socialism to work.

8. Socialism

with little-c capitalism -- The real engine of the economy is small business. Big business is a drain on resources, impediment to progressive values and contributes nearly NOTHING to society.

Limited chartering of corporations -- not more than one or two years!!! No "personhood" for corporations!!!

[Calvinist Basset]

9. I agree.

This is the route to the "best life for the most people".
What is it about this approach that makes the "free market radical"'s heads explode, anyway?

So, how could we know?

14. Anarcho-Syndicalism

In other words, democratically operated worker-owned cooperative businesses.

It's not something that can really be imposed, however. It has to be built. And it is. Been working in one for 13 years and I wouldn't have it any other way.
