Which types of government would you rather live under?

[Tierbook]

All knowing one? I still have the same opinion, I just labeled it wrong.

did you quit the CPUSA?

[LilSaihah]

I can see it now. Whoever makes the most people cum in the next 5 minutes wins the debate!

i fully 100% support a sexocratic regime

[Calzaeth]

i fully 100% support a sexocratic regime

I would, but then my vote would count even less. I'd probably count as a severely disabled person in such a regime =/

Since it's about forms of government, I voted Other:

I'd like an autocratic dictatorship, but under a benelovent ruler. Only problem is, nobody lives forever, and who guarantees that this benelovent ruler isn't succeeded by a greedy and stupid bastige that isn't even fit to govern an ant farm?

Capitalism, because the private sector is more efficient at deploying resources than any other system. Capitalist systems create more wealth and build strong vibrant economies, which provides me and my children with more opportunities in life.

Also, two capitalist nations have never gone to war against each other. There is a very good reason for that. They are too busy intertwining their economies to make more money, to the point where going to war would severely damage their own economy in turn.

War no longer makes sense when all nations are capitalist.

I'm not even sure... coming from a capitalistic one that's taught to praise capitalism, not a clue if something else would be better and not actually "evil," but I'm sure none of them is 100% great...can I mix a couple/few?

[Thalian]

did you quit the CPUSA?

Never a member! Honestly, had no idea that that was the flag of CPUSA... xD

[Powerogue]

Depends too much on the society and the people in charge.

[Deleted]

Not this again!

Well, I'd rather live in a Europe ruled by Germany than to live under the heavy influence of the US. And most of the things the Nazis did were actually good, so I could live with an updated version of National Socialism as well. And I'm not even German.

So yeah, I voted fascism. I think a strong leader gets shit done a lot quicker than endless bureaucracy.

[Elegiac]

In an ideal world, probably socialism.

[Åmbulance]

. And most of the things the Nazis did were actually good.

Except for the genocide right?

[Ave07]

I think Socialism would be the best if worked properly.

Capitalism, because the private sector is more efficient at deploying resources than any other system. Capitalist systems create more wealth and build strong vibrant economies, which provides me and my children with more opportunities in life.

The private sector is more efficient at deploying private goods, not public goods. Furthermore, capitalism has its limitations - in a way, it's similar to the limitations of democracy. Purist capitalism only works when consumers are perfectly rational and entirely informed.

Also, two capitalist nations have never gone to war against each other. There is a very good reason for that. They are too busy intertwining their economies to make more money, to the point where going to war would severely damage their own economy in turn.

Considering there has never been a "pure" capitalist nation then yeah, it's impossible for two countries that never existed to have gone to war with each other. Strictly speaking, however, the democratic/capitalist peace theory is a load of hooey that is attributable to other factors.

War no longer makes sense when all nations are capitalist.

That's actually false, vis a vis the military industrial complex.

In an ideal world, socialism.

In the real world, a hybrid of capitalism and socialism. Socialism in the traditional sense doesn't work due to limited resources and problems upscaling it from anything bigger than a village. Social Democracy/Neo-Revisionism is the closest realistic working model you can get in this age.

[haxartus]

None of these are a type of government (except Anarchy).
Communist economic systems have usually a totalitarian government, and capitalist system have usually democratic government. But I said usually. China is basically authoritarian with capitalist market.
Capitalism and socialism are not mutually exclusive and most successful governments today are democracy under a capitalist market and enforce socialist policies.

[Deleted]

Combo between socialist and eco-friendly.

[Wildtree]

capitalistic, democratic socialism is the best choice, I believe.

Which types of government would you rather live under?

Capitalism is not a type of governement, but an economical orientation...

[Kitterfly]

Isn't capitalism more of a market concept? Granted it is more inherent in given forms of governance.

I'm personally a fan of democratic representation through elected officials in what would be a republic.

Why is that Kitters? Because absolute democracy is a horrendous idea. We've all seen what happens when people can vote themselves power and money. No, no, no. A republic is much more ideal, more easily managed, more control factors, better and more equal representation FOR ALL. From the lowliest farmlands to the tippiest tops of the sky scraping gardens.

And Kitters stands by that, no matter what, it remains the best form of governance ever devised.

[Uvwaex]

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.

The majority(all?) of "communist nations" have been party based dictatorships that used the ideology and tenants of socialism to win military support of the people, but in no way implementing any sort of effective growth economic system. Not disagreeing, just adding.
