What are you talking about? All three are political and economic systems.

Maybe you are the one that needs to take a few college courses.

No they certainly are not, I see you have switched to your alt.

Nice try, I'll put this guy on ignore as well.

Others have said the same thing. You had the chance to explain yourself like an adult before and you refused. Do you think you deserve another chance?

I'm all for listening to opposing ideas. Capitalism is not a form of government, neither is socialism. Communism is not an economic system.

Get mad about it all you want. Just simply tell me how I am wrong, it should not be that hard for you since your read all those books.

I don't want links to some website you looked up. In your own words please.

Right....I guess you can excuse your ignorance.

If you can't even understand the basic concepts, what makes you think you could handle a mature conversation of deeper magnitude?

I would prefer capitalism over socialism as capitalism seems more efficient. We do not live in a capitalist society. Perhaps it is a form of capitalism, but we live in a social-market-economy.

I suggest you do more reading so you can actually understand these things. Ignorance is no excuse.

Tell me, how much research did you put into you switch ID theory? Now you sound like you are paranoid. Yeah, I created the ID almost a week ago anticipating you...

Oh and Karl Marx called his theory Communism as in Communist Manifesto.

To answer the question its "capitalism", for lack of a better term, but you must keep the economic rents distributed. Wealth in ones sleep can accumulate quickly and it grows exponentially where the power concentration can be destabilizing. How is dependent on the culture. Socialism in big industries for small nation states usually have enough international competition to really not be negatively effected by socialist policies because they do have competition. Nokia cannot insulate itself from international competition. They need the international market. The Soviet empire and its insulated economy was a classical fail.


I tend to like the economic rent distribution for the public expense with capitalism on top of it. It would be some combination of small land ownership vs large estates. Pretty much in the spirit of classical economic theory.

It's kind of a silly question since you didn't list any economic or political systems.

The three economic systems are Free Market, Command and Traditional.

Political systems and structural organizations, well, there's federations, confederations, republics, unitary systems, parliamentary systems, monarchies, constitutional monarchies, totalitarian systems, and a variety of anarchist systems just to name a few.

My advice, and it's just that, would be to double-major in Economics and Political Science, like I did, and then you might have a clue.

Educationally...

Communism is for hippies who want to live in communes..who want to be part of a community where everyone is a nobody..and they can commune with each other and live in an illusion. People need privacy in order to achieve things out of the ordinary- the ability to focus with out being harassed with this "we are all one" crap..we are not all one- each is different and each has their gift...Early Christianity was socialism at it's best with out governmental enforcement of so-called charity...People gave freely to those in need and were not forced by the state through taxes to support what the state deemed as needy...charity is not charity if you pay tribute to the poor against your will.
