I used to be a communist. Hell, I still am. Yes, I know communism will never work, but at least it's an ethos! Marx and Lenin were alright, but Stalin and the lot were fuckin' amateurs. Communism at its purest is one of the greatest ideas ever, am I right?
I don not care to be governed. I think a bunch of people that aren't governed and all do something that supports the common good, or at the very least does no harm well that's pretty much communism isn't it?
Democratic socialism, and Shcumacher economics(Buddhist economics, but even Buddhists think that is not a good name for it).We want to evolve into a Type I civilization, ya know Star Trek, there are models that can get us there. The civilization that is the Star Trek model is a social democracy, with gross national happiness as the economic system. It takes a shift in how we view personal property(ownership) and a shift in I idea of sovereignty. A key to this is also getting the rest of the world on board with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. If all countries observed these basic rights, borders would become arbitrary, just lines in the sand.
