Pick Your Society...

Name: John 2005-12-05 17:34

To all of those that have bitched about every single point I've made in any given thread, I pose this idea to you.

I'm not asking what type of society you would necessarily like to live in yourself, because that's a rather double-edged answer for a lot of you I'd imagine, being that this board is mainly leftist.

So... Build your ideal society, as honestly as possible. What type of people would you want in your society? What type of government? What style of economy? Would you want productive members in your society, or people that simply live off of the efforts of others? Would you want the government to control every aspect of peoples' lives, or do you actually value freedom? Free enterprise, the biggest eliminator of poverty in the history of mankind? Or fascism... I'm sure most of you liberals are already bitching that my questions are too black and white. So you pick your grays. Make your ideal society.

Have at it... I hope it's not too much to ask for some actual honest responses here.

Centrist capitalism economics with a fascist military force. (no 'real' police, saves money to have'em pull peacetime yanno.)
Hey you didn't say it had to be POSSIBLE.
basically lazy people get whacked in the ass by a ruler, stupid and/or religious people are forcibly integrated and kept a close eye on, but the average person can be more carefree than a drugged up transhumanist hippy. Oh and scientists will need to run objective experiments on illicit drugs to determine safe amounts, and then allow responsible usage.
About the religious people thing, I would eventually want my state to remove monotheism no matter the cost, and either swing towards a polythiest or totally secular community.
Economically, anything goes, so long as the benefits can be shown to outweigh the cost in ecological damage. (say animal testing and uranium mining goes, but unneeded plastic packaging on items is replaced with wooden boxes or reusable tins)
Oh yeah since there seem to be a bunch of them on here...If you're a Leninist, you're free and clear. Any other commies get drummed into infantry and sent on suicide missions. Of course, I don't imagine there'd be much of either, I assume they'd rather live somewhere less hostile to them.
The only socialized thing we'd have would be basic medical care, but it would be hella strict. Only contraceptives get handed out without question, everything else needs say two medical reviews, and maybe even a psychiatric evaluation, for those people that like only thinking they're sick. Everything else would be like an average commodity, hospitals trying to give better care for less to stay in business.
Media: Anything goes, but sensationalist tabloids will have to put up with getting raided and torched to the ground every now and then, as I don't believe in lawsuits resulting in monetary awards (unless yer a dioty thief). Nothing censored at all, population should be able to police itself.
I'm kinda drunk right now so this isn't as ironed out as I would want, but it represents a good idea of how I'd work it.
Unrelated, but I killed my nation on nationstates because that place got boring, though for 7 months it hovered back and forth between only two 'ideals,' Inoffensive Centrist and Capitalist Paradise. Don't really know what an amalgation of those two would be called.
last note, just thought of this. Suicide encouraged as option #3 for depression, because emo music sucks hardcore. Writing music is #5, under self-imposed seclusion. 1&2 being happy pills and sex of course, in no particular order.
