I have traditional conservative values, but i'm probably more a communist than a capitalist. Is this insanity?

If you desire a world where traditional family values flourish, why would a world where everything is for sale, and the hierarchy is not based on who is the most kind and noble, but who is the best at making money (which the love of is the root of all evil)??? I'm not a communist, but more of like a "communalist" if that's a thing. I think we must work as a team.

It doesnt sound insane to me. We're social animals and I think team work is important. At the same time, so are self interest and competition, so I'd prefer something other than pure capitalism or pure communism.

@MistyCee Well, well.... a Southern Belle who's philosophy fits Canada's! @MistyCee I'm glad there are folks who think of others beyond how much farther they can push them down!

@MistyCee pure 'isms' can sometimes look good on paper, but in practice it's rarely so clean.

@MistyCee @JollyRoger

There once was a sweet Southern belle,
Who often would sit for a spell,
To discuss world affairs
And political cares
As we neared the election from Hell. 😳

@Thinkerbell I love your poetry!!!

MistyCee

@JollyRoger Yeah, I feel like I'm living on an island down here in the swamp sometimes.

@MistyCee There has never been a pure capitalism model in the entire history of mankind.

MistyCee

@Reason10 I'll buy that.
