Socialism and Anachism better eh? I admit that capitalism has problems and it needs to be regulated to some degree but socialism and anarchism, yuck! Socialism would be close to what we have now but it would be legal for the gov't to run everything so they would not need to spend so much time and $ hiding the truth from us. Instead they would just have more power than they do now, no consequences, and all in less time. Anarchism as far as i am concerned could never work just because there will always be someone(s) who wants to lead, follow, etc. These people will take advantage of the rest of the populous and run things in a semi-dictorial way. Think of the old west before it was settled in America. The way that bandits ran certain areas and the law just tried to stay alive. The few who stood up to the criminals usually died. That would be what an anarchist country would be like. On top of which how would they protect themselves against outside invasion? If there is no established gov't then there is no established army. Sure they could try and fight in small bands but that would only cause minor damage to an all out assault especailly with today's technology. We need to take back our freedom and we can relatively easily. No matter how rich or powerful a person(s) is he/she/they must answer to the masses. If the majority does not like what is going on then they can change that by getting involved in politics, protests, and even rebellion if it comes to that, which i hope it never does because i believe we can beat them without violence. I know that sounds mad but if you really think about it here is a good analogy, 20 people vs. 5, how much violence is needed to subdue those 5 with 4 people on each of them? Sure they could bomb us into oblivion but that would get them no where. They'd be kings of a dead planet. They'd have no one to rule. In fewer words they are screwed. If we unite we can regain what we have lost.
