The poll is going to make this pretty hard to get accurate opinions, so try not to focus on it too much. Post your opinion in the comments before you vote, if you can.

  • Capitalism is good for the market, and promotes development in technology, among other things. But a completely capitalist system isn't good for the school system and healthcare. In fact, in a completely capitalistic society there would be no official school or healthcare, only private institutions. A socialistic society may have better school and healthcare, as long as it doesn't tip over to a dictatorship with five-year plans. Those never work out. But even if the school and healthcare works, the free market wouldn't. The best option would be a society with elements from both capitalism and socialism. Let there be a official system to keep the basic functions running, and provide as high of a quality as possible. And let there be a free market where competition is promoted. Let this include basically everything except law enforcement. Even if public school and healthcare is offered, let people be able to choose alternatives.
