Socialism (Democratic) or Capitalism, which do you support and why?

Question

Name your country too, and if you think they should adopt the system you support.

Answer 1

I support socialism. Although vaguely defined, socialism generally means equality and altruism. It is also generally used as a counter to capitalism, and capitalism means oppression of the poor. I see people here and elsewhere romanticize capitalism, because they're propagandized. They choose not to see the ugly side of capitalism. Slums, gangs and crime are all by-products of the social inequality created by capitalism.

Answer 2

I support Anarcho-Capitalism because I am a strong believer in the non-aggression principle. The non-aggression principle is the principle that it is immoral to impose one's will upon another via the initiation of force. This is what governments do when they impose a tax. Does your government do ANYTHING you disagree with? Probably so, if so, you are being forced at the point of a gun to pay for a "service" you do not want.

The ironic thing about a democracy is that if there is enough popular support that politicians are willing to "do something" about an issue the government does not need to "do something" about it in the first place. Take helping the homeless as an example. There are a great many good hearted people who contribute to political campaigns, pass out leaflets and hold signs for the sake of a candidate because of that issue. There is no guarantee that candidate will be willing or able to do anything about it while in office. Imagine how much better that dinero could be spent if it went to the cause directly. There are some good hearted people who are willing to commit acts of civil disobedience and risk jail-time for the sake of an issue. Imagine how much good that person's dedication could do helping the issue directly.

I live in the United States and yes, I wish the geographic area called the United States would go anarcho-capitalist.

Answer 3

I can not define myself so simply because in every country the corporate or state owned media and powerful elite work very hard to confuse the people. These words (democracy socialism, and communism) become clouded...

ask any american what is the difference between a socialist and a communist and they will have no idea.... go ahead ask on yahoo answers..... i bet less than 3 people will know during the day when conservatives are on.... and maybe 8 at night when the liberals are on.....



i love america and believe that we are on the right track with 2 exceptions....
1 we allow our media and corporations to be tooo close to our government....they have more power than the people....

2 we do not help the poor when much of our wealth has been made by their sacrifices........ and we as a culture damaged them by our insane competiveness.... they are wounded by us and we owe them a debt

Answer 4

Self-possession vs being sources. Why do you "have self assurance" what hundreds of years of historic past definitively proves fake? Capitalism bases its device in that everyone owns themselves and makes loose exchanges in keeping with their very own wills. permit's get actual- as we flow removed from capitalism and in direction of what you want, looking a activity at present is getting closer to be as person-friendly as triumphing a lottery. Why do you somewhat have self assurance they need to finally end up interior the streets? you assert that a guy or woman who PRODUCES "foodstuff, medicine, coaching or housing" is sources of the collective. Why do you call for slavery? Democratic socialism considers furtherance of centralized administration and not something. in case you do not something, then you somewhat get what's politically desperate you get. If that's shown which you're doing not something, and you're to blame on your concern and you're lazy, then you somewhat get what's politically desperate you get. yet once you are attempting confusing and are a sufferer of the present disaster, then you somewhat get what's politically desperate you get. you be attentive to that. I won't insult your intelligence via pretending i think of you do not.

Answer 5

Get rich quick schemes in the capitalist business world, (buyouts, IPOs, conglomerates, acquisitions, mergers, and the stock market), do not actually work. Remaining solvent does not actually exist within false economics capitalism.

Profit existing in the capitalist business world, or millionaires existing within capitalism, is pathological deception committed by the 21 organizations spying on the population with plain clothes agents, (with covert fake names and fake backgrounds).

Actual economics is the persons paying the monthly business loan payments of companies voting at work in order to control the property they are paying for.

Capitalism is the psychology of imaginary parents, false economics, and the criminal deception of employees that are paying the bills (including the stocks and bonds, or shares) of companies.

Anti-democracy republicanism is the psychology of imaginary parents and false government.

Answer 6

To avoid misunderstandings we use the term 'Socialism' no longer alone, but always together with an adjective. - As superordinate terms we use 'Democratic Socialisms' and 'Non-democratic Socialisms' (in the plural). 'Democratic Socialisms' = 'Social-democratic Socialisms' and 'Ecological (or Environmental or Green) Socialisms'. - 'Non-democratic Socialisms' = 'Communistic Socialisms' and 'Anarchistic Socialisms'.

Answer 7

I support some of both, there is nothing wrong with democratic socialist programs and capitalistic programs co-existing in the same country.

Answer 8

I support a mix between the two-just a nice equilibrium between the two. I am from the United States.

Answer 9

I oppose socialism -- including most of the Democratic party agenda to that effect -- because I don't believe the govt should force people to give up their property, and I don't believe the govt should tell businesses how to operate (within reason).

Capitalism -- in the free market sense -- is the only model that allows skills and ability to dictate success -- and that's the only truly fair system.

Answer 10

Some of both. Too much of either is not healthy.
