Description
Which kind of economic system do you believe is the most beneficial, and how extreme should the version of the aforementioned system be? (I.E., no-regulations free market capitalism, social democracy, hardcore communism, etc.)
As socially liberal as conceivably possible, with a conservative use of resources. When I refer to resources I do not mean numbers in computers, coins, or pieces of paper with faces and catchy slogans at all. What we have now is economic liberalism, I need not detail how unstable and corrupt it is as you ought to already know.
Ideally banks, at least private ones, will eventually cease to exist. Though it is beyond me how specifically resources would be allocated without the monetary system, gamblers certainly have no place in resource management.
Socially, everyone should be able to do whatever it is they wish that which does not harm others. Everything.
Generally, I'm a Marxist.
--------------------------------------------
I feel that I must address the issue of private property for those of you who don't understand Communism in the slightest. And no, what I advocate is not an orthodox Marxist sort of society. I may as well be reading fiction books to understand the world if I'm going to treat a sole man or faction as a source of knowledge.
Private property is anything purchased or sold, it is a person's monopoly over a resource with currency. In a supposed Communist society private property is abolished in favor of community ownership, and personal ownership.
What you perceive as "private ownership" is personal ownership merely without money switching hands. Every person would still have their own home, and a place of their own choosing to work at, whatever it is they're proficient(skilled/like) at doing.
I personally prefer a slightly modified caliphate system.
In which a country is dived in multiple sectors with each sectors being controlled be a single elected chancellor. The chancellor will have complete authority over their own sectors but any of his decision has to be approved by the sectors general population before they are carried away. The chancellors can are to select the most capable of them and elect him as Caliph/Calipha (male/female) or a supreme chancellor to oversee/lead the entire country.
Government are to provide every registered citizen with with basic need like Food, education, hosing for free. Since taxation dose not exists in caliphate, every citizen will have to give 2.5% of their annual saving to the government. The government can ask for donation if need arise or individuals can donate funds to the government. Bankers are not allowed to give or take interest case of both loan and savings. They can however, use the savings to carry out businesses in whch case the depositor will get a substantial amount of profit. He will not however, carry the burden in case there is a loss.
Sharia law are to be the basic law of the country however a separate court and some common law are to exits for non-Muslim population. In case there is a crime commuted against someone, the Victim or his relative will decide which court will carry out the hearing of the criminal.
I'd like a social democracy somewhat similar to the European governments.
The government in such a system would have power over the corporations and the ability to control the economy if serious problems arose. It would use a seperation of powers similar to the U.S., elections and all, except using the alternative vote rather than the direct vote (for explanation of the alt. vote: Youtube.com )
Said government would likely take a tremendous cut of the public's money, yet with it, would have to instill welfare programs large enough to permenantly abolish poverty, starvation, homelessness, etc. Private ownership, freedom, and enterprise would still be carefully protected, it's just people would have to give some more in order to support the lower class. Government programs would work alongside private companies as another highly important aspect of the economy, and drive innovation and scientific advancement.
European governments don't control anything. Well, they should, but the reality is a bit corrupted...
All governments are corrupt, that's pretty much a constant.
as long as the people fear the government it will never be a good government, but when the government fears the people then we're getting somewhere, as for how right or left the government should be? idk
Nothing is best or nothing isnt worst, All is about people and their trust, World doesnt need any governments or any system, If people will be honest and brave, All is about us, and many of us are dirty and corrupted. We are incorrigible.
