Democratic capitalism (capitalism + democracy) alongside a strong and efficient social welfare system is what I personally adhere to.

    If someone is given authority and power over others, regardless of the method of acquiring that power, the system is evil.

    What do you propose for the case of someone stronger than me stealing my food?

      Are you two the only people in the village?

      I know communities are out of fashion, but they used to settle all these matters. No need for cops or prisons.

          Might? Where did I say that? That’s about the opposite of the point I was trying to get across.

            Then how do you propose the village deal with the situation? You proposed that the solution to someone stronger than me be to get done more guys. And then what?

            You might consider using extra words, if you want me to understand your argument.

              To get done more guys? Am I having a stroke?

              I never said you should go get the community to bash his brains in, that’s all in your mind. When you were younger, if your brother steals from you, you’d turn to your parents, and they’d assess the situation. Now apply that to a community, like a small village or a city block.
