I am of the mind to have a proper balance of Socialism in its most basic form and Capitalism in its most basic form. A balance is usually the best way to do things, imho.
All or nothing at all makes governments fall
No idealism for me, thank you very much. Governments need to be run on reality. Because mostly Idealistic = Unrealistic.
I'm not saying being cynical or heartless. But so much time is spent on the US government trying to convince its people that we are still a pure country. Such wasted time. Idealism can never be reached because humans are not at all ideal. Making more reachable goals is usually better. Then perhaps the ruddy media would have less "scandals" to uncover and maybe do some honest and untainted reporting for a change.
By the by, I am staunchly Democratic. Not because I am actually a Democrat, but simply because I disagree with just about everything that comes out of Republicans' mouths. Especially the Extreme Republicans, those who are ultra-conservative. Funny how many of them still insist that the Trickle-Down Theory works. I have a choice few profane words for that which I shall refrain from using simply because I've already brushed my teeth for the night.

What about how governments send their soldiers off to wars in far-flung places to die?
