[Super Buu]

It's sad that I know more about American politics right now than Australian. I hate the news. ;_;

I've stopped following British politics entirely until the next election because it's just too depressing. We currently have Gordon Brown in office, who I consider to be the worst prime minister the UK has had in my lifetime. Yay for ignoring the advice of your own advisors and pandering to the Sun.

You could say the same for capitalism, Aero. The concept sounds fair enough; everyone succeeds or fails by their own merit. You get in what you put out. But in reality it's horribly flawed (or at least our execution of it is), because there's no global view, no bigger picture, just everyone doing what's best for themselves.

Socialism isn't a set doctine; there are lots of opposing viewpoints even within it, so it's hard to say that one or the other is right or wrong, let alone claim that it's been 'proven to fail'. I don't think mankind is ready for pure socialism, but we could do with more of it.
