    the only way there will truley be a peaceful system is if we went back to earliest man who were hunter gathers and lived in small tribes that were spread out. brain washing is the next alternative i think cause no matter what there will be someone to ruin peace. but prainwashing is not peaceful just twisted

    Doing that, however, would be an unacceptable trade off. I for one would be dead, having had several injuries or illnesses that would have killed me without modern medicine. I also would never have gotten the opportunity to know anyone or hear anything that did not originate in my own small tribe. I do not think I would like that either. We need to keep the baby and throw away the bathwater.

    Marx wrote that socialism is the phase that slowly dedintefrates the state before going into communism. Communism is democratic, just not the parliamentry, which some people wrongly recognise as the only form of democracy

    I think you need to reconsider this postion. Have a look at Somalia and explain to me how that is a good idea.

    As for your question, I think you mean economic system rather than political system. I prefer Capitalism, but that does not mean I think Corporations should be able to run amok without regulation and a little splash of Socialism wouldn't hurt either, I beleive strongly in a solid social safety net.

    Somalia is an example of how Anarchy went wrong and turned into ultra-capitalist. An Anarchistic society is hard to sustain and there's very few if any moments in society's history where it has been. I'm only saying that if it could be, then that's the way I'd want to live.

    I love what Karl Marx said when he got frustrated with how his idea of Communism was warped and perverted by others: "I am not a Marxist"

    Somalia is oppression of the people by tribal groups that have a monopoly on the weapons. A people with arms is governed an unarmed group is ruled.

    Somallia, is not an example of anarchism. More nhilism if anything. Anarchism is a system of democracy order and equlity, not everyman for himself. That's anarcho cpaitalism, which is jsut weird really. Similar to waht the libertarian party advocates.

    Btw, communism and anarchism are pretty mtuch the same, it's jsut getting there that's different.

    I think some of you are misinformed as to what anarchy means.

    1. Absence of any form of political authority
    2. Political disorder and confusion
    3. Absence of any cohesive principle, such as a common standard or purpose.
    4. A state of lawlessness and disorder (usually resulting from a failure of government)

    This does not sound like any sort of utopia to me, it sounds like Somalia.
