[B]Political ideologies[/B] Well, I just wanted to see what facepunch thinks is best way of controlling a country. I myself would like some real communism. I would come up with too long of an explanation if I were to explain exactly why though. But feel free to write your own opinion!

[B][U]Please be honest in your vote.[/U][/B]
republic except a lot more democratic aspects to it would be cool imo
Modified capitalism to stop greed. Which would never work out but a man can dream.
Isn't Capitalism, Communism, and the like economic systems and not political ideologies? Either way I voted Capitalism because I'm a filthy capitalist pig-dog.
voted anarchist because it isn't really a political ideology
[QUOTE=gerbile4;23826095]Modified capitalism to stop greed. Which would never work out but a man can dream.[/QUOTE] Hmm, how would capitalism stop greed? Sorry it just ruins my logic, but I'm interested in what you mean.
I'm a liberal, so...
I'm amazed nobody voted Socialism.
Socialism.
[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;23827923]Socialism.[/QUOTE] there we go. In any case, I voted nationalism.
Also, capitalism is an economic system, not a political ideology. Communism, however, is both.
[QUOTE=Miktor.;23826292]Hmm, how would capitalism stop greed? Sorry it just ruins my logic, but I'm interested in what you mean.[/QUOTE] Its a great system, but it runs best when the people in charge run things fairly and equally. it sucks that such an awesome system is faulty due to human character flaws [QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;23827943]Also, capitalism is an economic system, not an political ideology. Communism, however, is both.[/QUOTE] ya I was thinking that
None, do what the situation requires independent of ideology. Though Illuminated Tyranny would probably work best out of all, the problem is that the new Tyrant is sooner or later bound to be a madman (for it to work it would need that all Tyrants would be near-perfect people). Then again by that logic Communism would work great too.
Conservatism just because I can. :smug:
None
Apathysm.
[QUOTE=ButtsexV2;23827888]I'm amazed nobody voted Socialism.[/QUOTE] Then yet again, communism is just hardcore socialism so to speak.
[QUOTE=Miktor.;23826292]Hmm, how would capitalism stop greed? Sorry it just ruins my logic, but I'm interested in what you mean.[/QUOTE] I mean if there was a way to have a capitalistic government without all the greed and disregard that comes from it. Example being the USA, unfortunately.
[QUOTE=Nikita;23828165]Apathysm.[/QUOTE] What is that? No results on google at all.
Communism. Well, Marxist Socialism with Communism as the final goal, although I doubt pure anarcho-communism would ever work. Still, I put communism because you didn't separate Marxist vs Democratic Socialism. [editline]06:14PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Miktor.;23828272]What is that?

Socialism, like some European countries have.

Liberalism, but more along the lines of classic liberalism. Freedom of speech, freedom of action, all that stuff. If people aren't completely free to do anything they want that only affects themselves, theres already something wrong with that ideology in my opinion
[QUOTE=Nerts;23828618]Socialism, like some European countries have.[/QUOTE] Pff, I don't think any have right now, and when they do, it's not proper socialism. But I'm happy were at least closer than other countries here in Denmark. [editline]07:03PM[/editline] [QUOTE=strayebyrd;23828865]Liberalism, but more along the lines of classic liberalism.

Unfortunately it's only the companies that get their freedom like it is today. Which they abuse against the individual person, and smaller companies, to "enslave" us. But then yet again, maybe enslave is too powerful a word to describe it, but at least you should get what i mean.
OP, you should really remove capitalism.
I like socialist anarchism oh god I can't decide which to vote for [editline]02:39PM[/editline] voted anarchy cuz it sounds more fun than socialism
[QUOTE=Detective P;23828318]Communism. Well, Marxist Socialism with Communism as the final goal, although I doubt pure anarcho-communism would ever work. Still, I put communism because you didn't separate Marxist vs Democratic Socialism. [/QUOTE] This.
[QUOTE=Jacam12SUX;23829619]OP, you should really remove capitalism.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I've really considered it, but there's been a lot of votes on it, so i won't.
[QUOTE=Miktor.;23829181]Pff, I don't think any have right now, and when they do, it's not proper socialism. But I'm happy were at least closer than other countries here in Denmark.[/QUOTE] Most western European countries have Democratic Socialism, or some form of it.
Social Democracy! The best parts of capitialism and socialism mixed together.
