do you feel more closely follows the Bible:
1) Socialism
2) Communism
3) Democracy
Why?

The Bible shows approval to private ownership of of land (Genesis 23) so communism and most kinds of Socialism are out.
However, the Bible says that the 'kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers'. This means the government is to have a concern for the moral welfare of the people. This throws out libertarianism. Therefore I believe the answer is somewhere between Socialism and Capitalism.

None of the above. What matters most is how people chose to live their lives, not what form of government they live under. The best government is not the government which governs the least, but the one in which the people need to be governed the least. In other words, if everybody did what was right, there wouldn't be a need for much government.

Obviously, it is none of these. If one of these would be good enough to be a world ruling government, there would be no need for Christ to return with a government system that God tried to put into place before Adam and Eve ate the apple.
All forms of government have failed, one way or another, thus far.

I have never lived in a socialist or communist state and don't have a clue what it means to be honest.
I have lived in a democracy however, and have heard a lot about communism, not so much about sociaism. In any case, I feel democracy most resembles Christianity, as it gives one the illusion of being free. When in actual fact they give up their 'self-governing rights' over to a so called "chosen one" who they themselves did not actually chose, and probably would not have chosen if they were adequately informed and given a fair array of optional candidates.
Even then, the majority would win, and if your choice falls in the minority, you'd still lose.

Neither, for the Bible is not a form of government. It is a collection of books written by men that were inspired by God, to tell mankind how God wants His creations to live.
