I'm here to cite one examples for the different forms of government, ehem:

Capitalism-Dictatorship=China

Socialism-Dictatorship=Cuba

No government-Capitalism=Somalia

No Government-Socialism=Spain (1936-1939) before they lost the civil war

Capitalism-Republic=USA

Socialism-Republic=Venezuela

Republic Mixed-economy=Norway

Absolute monarchy= Saudi Arabia

Constitutional monarchy=Canada

Is this right?

Out of all of these models, I'd say that the US, Norway, and Canada are the only ones with comparable outcomes; the only difference is that the mean IQ in Norway and Canada is a good bit higher than over here. Also, Canada doesn't really have a king anymore; I'd say that right now they're a standard parliamentary democracy similar to what the UK has across the pond. I don't think capitalism nor true republican democracy need to be discarded, just cleaned up and regulated properly.

Almost all of the countries on your list have a mixed economy to varying degrees.

[-] 1 points by ronimacarroni (1089) 12 years ago

Yes but they generally lean towards one or the other

Welfare states are the only true mixed economies.

Most of the countries on your list have social safety nets.

Yes what you have is correct.

Almost right I would change China to a Communist Dictatorship. Somalia could be better described as a Fundamentalist/Anarchy. Saudi Arabia is a Fundamentalist/Monarchy. Everything else seem good to me. Not so sure about Canada though I know that the have a socialist Health care system though.

USA is a fascist - corporate dictatorship. The people are just like ant's.

The USA's position in the world is to provide the mercenary army to the global corporations to wipe out any nation that doesn't follow the corporate-fascist talking-points ( consensus ).

The USA is a 3rd world country with nukes, before there were nukes the USA was just a washed out prison colony.

"USA is a fascist - corporate dictatorship. The people are just like ant's."

The fact that you are baffled by the apostrophe does not help the credibility of your unintentionally hilarious drama queen statement of ridiculousness.

Time to grow up, kid.
