Which types of government would you rather live under?

[Thalian]

I am curious to see what people say.

Socialism aslong as they can keep crime rates down, more so among immigrants. If they can't keep it down, fascism since there's national socialism there anyways, socialism without the immigrants.

[Sunseeker]

None of these systems are inherently evil. Provided they were all working "ideally", any of them would be good.

[Thalian]

Is it me, or is it ironic that Capitalism is Red and Communism is Blue?

That's what other is for. I didn't want to add Nazism, because I was afraid I'd be pressing my luck on this thread. :P

Fascism includes national socialism though, from what I learnt at school. o.o

Out of those options, socialism.

Yes Fascism always turns out well... Honestly it explains a lot.

I don't think you know what Fascism is.

Fascism includes national socialism though.

"Fascism is a form of radical authoritarian nationalism that came to prominence in early 20th century Europe. Fascists seek to unify their nation through a totalitarian state that promotes the mass mobilization of the national community, relying on a vanguard party to initiate a revolution to organize the nation on fascist principles. Hostile to liberal democracy, socialism, and communism, fascist movements share certain common features, including the veneration of the state, a devotion to a strong leader, and an emphasis on ultranationalism and militarism. Fascism views political violence, war, and imperialism as a means to achieve national rejuvenation and asserts that stronger nations have the right to obtain land and resources by displacing weaker nations."

In a perfect world, with no corruption, I'd go with socialism.

My book I had say they preferer national syndicalism OR national socialism. ._.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazism - wikipedia saying it's a variant of fascism apparently.. o.o

"National Socialism, is a variety of fascism that incorporates biological racism and antisemitism."

Half of these aren't really types of governments, they are economic systems.

[Reg]

If it's a one or the other type scenario, then none of the above.

[Thalian]

They're all economic systems (huge part of government as it effects us all and our national stockpile). Except for anarchy, which is just for those who hate the government for some reason.

I voted other.

With resource scarcity still a thing, a blend of capitalism and socialism is what I'll take.

Without resource scarcity, perhaps communism.

Capitalists deplete more resources (for financial gain). How would communists deplete more?

You do understand that under true communism, there is no need/want of a government. So by backing a communist system, you too hate the idea of government.

Not sure that is ever possible. Maybe absence of scarcity for food, shelter, clothing, etc. But for everything? Lol.

+1 for accurate comment. China is a good example of a capitalist-fascist mix calling itself communist.

Can you cite the source that claims that communism is anti-government?

China isn't fascist. It's a capitalist authoritarian country. Nothing else.

Um ... any document ever written about true communism. It's the whole point; a classless, moneyless, stateless social order. It's the final stage of communism and has never been achieved because it's impossible.

An ''updated'' version of National Socialism.

Class-less and equal is true communism. Why doesn't any communist party preach statelessness? Because it's a bad idea.

Because no communist party is actually communist. It's an oxymoron. It is impossible to be classless and equal with a government. It infers there is a higher class making the rules. A true communist nation has never existed.
