[QUOTE="ZNP, post: 74743028, member: 426217"] I am not for a purely socialist system any more than a purely capitalist system. I like the use of capital being freely available to anyone who can get a loan (I have worked for banks and brokerages). I think our rapid movement of capital to anyone who has a good idea is one of our great advantages over centralized control. However, I think capitalist society needs to have some socialist policies -- minimum wage, certain laws that protect the rights of workers, child labor laws, these kinds of laws prevent capitalism becoming the greedy monster that we saw 120 years ago and which was depicted in books like "The Jungle". I also think certain public services should be socialist in nature. Right now we have a police department, a fire department and a public school that serves everyone without charge. That is very important, not just to the poor but also to the rich. I also think we should have a certain amount of communism. Parks should be "common" to all. Beaches should be common to all. The air should be common to all. [/QUOTE]
