[wraggster]

Personally if i was in charge of the UK i would bring back hanging for all those who murder these days.

unlike years of old, DNA and other methods used to proove the guilt mean that these killers should be dealt with accordingly.

i would make all prisoners work in coal mines and bring back hard labour for all.

i would make sure that Gas, Electric and water were kept to lowest prices posssible.

I would make all the unemployed work for their benefits somehow.

i could go on all day :P

[symbal]

I'd fund the development of hydrogen fuel cells and help oil export dependant countries to diversify, and declare war on Activision.

[mrquiteaguy]

If i were in charge,I would create a equal,fair and classless society where everyone had the same universal rights and benefits as anyone else in return for contributing the same amount of effort/time/work.

Under me,The State would give everyone a house,a car,holidays and money every week.Would look after you in old age.In return you would work a certain amount of time every week and contribute to the greater good of society.

I think a lot of peoples problems are caused by a lack of money.

[Insomniac-Evolution]

Id be like Ali G and keep it real innit! lol jk but hanging? thats kinda harsh! u mean lethal injection? lol anyway yeah! hard labour etc and the benefit system has just gave too many the chance to do nothing, but there is people with serious problems, and those that abuse it, that irritates me, uh! id make religion illegal lol (yes I know not possible)

[Gene]

In the words of the rhinoceros party,
"I would put the national debt on visa"

[Da_ALC]

Country? Not allot. World? then;
First I would do some mass-resituating of the population. Then I would plot out the worlds land and use each area to its full potential. E.i. farmland, energyland, explotionland, forrestland, factoryland, (A la super-simcity), etc.
I would remove/ abolish all pointless jobs/professions/services/goods factories. E.g. 1 generic super-car for everybody. 1 huge bracelet/bag/shoe/anything factory.(rather than millions scattered globally yeah?). No telesales (sales would be extinct anyway), etc
I would make everything free for everybody, work is voulenteer based on a global basis. You sign up for what you want to work as, and when a position becomes available you get a call, you hop on a flight, you go do what you want. if you change your mind, you leave, and if you like, try something else.

What is communism?

[fpcreator2000]

All are beautiful ideals, but as tinman has said in his sarcasm, these are all examples of total social (economically), and communist (in their government ideology). These problem with communism is that the individuality of people is not taken into account. Also, if you work more hour than you are given, will you get paid more? Not under communism.

Here's a small step in the right direction.

1st. Energy - a combination of energy storage research, and clean energy technologies with NUCLEAR FUSION at the forefront. No radiation, no meltdown, and enough in the earth's oceans (and if not the oceans then on the moon) to power the world for ages.

2nd. Health Care - Main land Europe's (Germany for example) health care system is one of the best systems on the planet. Americans' worst complaint about the health care system is the waiting (Wow! I rather wait and get it on the cheap!).

3rd. Economy - The U.S. and Europe are giving China a free ride, hence the jobs are all being outsourced. Start imposing tariffs (taxes) on imported good so that domestic goods are supported. If someone wants to compete with domestic goods, they better build a factory on the country and compete with the locals. It is unfair trying to compete with a nation where people are getting paid a dollar a day. Why do you think products from China are so cheap? Workers are way underpaid! That's why! I don't blame the chinese for doing what they do! Good for them for being smart! I blame everyone else for being stupid!

4th. Infrastruture - The third world countries are suffering due to bad management and bad infrastructure. Without a proper system of roads and institutions, no business will set up factories for workers if its hard to move their products out! Why do you think that Walmart can sell so well and so cheap in the US? Because of infrastructure. This is the reason why in the U.S., Walmart is a bargain store, and in Brazil it is a luxury store.

5th - ENERGY - I said this before, but without energy, there is no civilization, no technology, no health care, but there would be one thing, the Middle ages would make a comeback. Clean energies working in unison (hydroelectric is very destructive to the environment actually). Nuclear Fusion at the forefront powering all major cities.

Fire all of the treasonous congress and president, and start over from scratch. Then make it a law that all political parties are abolished and make political parties illegal. Abandon all 700 military bases the USA runs around the world. Then we can get back to an actual representative government.

[symbal]

Sorry to say but getting rid of all political parties would again be called communism, but yeah we do need to get rid of the corrupt self obsessed politicians because their influence spreads like a virus to future political generations.

[VampDude]

I would make all the unemployed work for their benefits somehow.

They can mow your lawn and paint your fence... There are enough of them, they could mow all the lawns up and down the country within a week. :cool: :rofl:

Communism has absolutely nothing at all to do with political parties, it is a social structure. Abolishing political parties would not usher in communism in the slightest, that is, unless a candidate ran on a communist platform to get elected and the people elected them. But enough of the labels. Republican, Democrat, Communist, Libertarian, anything. Get rid of these dividers and get back to holding individuals responsible for their **** ups, rather than their spineless hiding behind political parties.

I like both of these ideas to some extent, but the first is a threat to freedom of assembly. I'd be happier just eliminating political party names from ballots, getting rid of the Debate Commission, and removing the special privileges afforded to big parties (e.g. if an independent or third party needs 83,000 signatures or something to get on the ballot each election, then the Republicrats should also have to collect that many or not be allowed on the ballot, period).

No complaints about the second suggestion.

My general response to the question, though, is minarchism. Make the government as small as possible (how small that is exactly stays open to debate, but it's clearly less than 5% of the behemoth we have today) in scope, influence, and budget.
