    Socialism is by far the best. It protests workers, consumers, and the environment from corporations and still allows free enterprise.

    When you go right, you get capitalism (conservatives), when you go even more right, you get Nazis; and with the left, when you go far left, you get Socialism, and even more left is communism.

    you were right up until you said communism. ITS NOT COMMUINISM

    its socialism or starlinism

    Communism is a political not ecconomic system where people all vote on decisons rather than our system of a representive democrasy

    No, that's just full democracy. The US is a Republic, not a democracy. Greece, on the other hand, is a democracy.

    Communism also deals with the elimination of social class, free market, and effectively "profit" and therefore is economic.

    I think that you're thinking of direct democracy. I voted socialism because that is where my leanings lie, but I think the market system, when properly regulated, is the best economic system.

    Communism does not work on a large scale because it requires a lack of self-interest, and a consideration of complete strangers that one will never meet over oneself. People do not operate this way. They do not really care about what's better for all if they are suffering.

    On a small scale communism does work to some degree, like among the Amish, but it requires very close-knit communities. In these communities one would work harder for all the people they are connected to and care about, or to maintain social standing.
