Again, it wouldn't be an economy that would offer you much. It might be functioning and it might be stable, but you would have to give up so many luxuries it would be hardly enjoyable for anyone that lived in a modernized country.

And last name, because it'll take about 150 years for them to all be one big family.

My political philosophy would be true communism. Communism isn't actually a bad thing, it's just that nobody thinks it can be done. But if it COULD be done, the world would sure be different.

A general misconception is when people think communism or socialism, they think state communism or state socialism. Very different.

I hope you all will excuse me for being cliche, but capitalism for economics and democracy as your political philosophy seems to be the best, and history backs this up.

Overall I think a benevolent dictatorship could be better, except that there isnt really anyone who I would trust with the job. Except perhaps myself wink .

Steal? I was under the impression that we(the U.S.) and other capitalistic nations pay for our goods?

Officially the U.S. has a capitalist mixed economy. So yes it does borrow some other principles from other economic philosophys but it is mostly capitalist. Or atleast that was my impression, Im no expert on this kind of stuff so I could be wrong.

Well, a country with a government spending of over 3 trillion a year and the highest per capita spending on national healthcare.

Nah, not really.

Well you have to take into account that we also have the most GDP aside from the EU by a huge margin, even during recession. Your right that the U.S. does borrow some principles from socialism, though you would be hard pressed to show that the U.S. was on the whole more socialist as opposed to capitalist.

Sure, it's just not really capitalist. It's a weird monstrous ideology mish-mash.
