Pick Your Society...

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.

I'm telling you that you should care about people beyond your country's borders simply because they're human.  In the same way that we cannot choose our parents, we also cannot choose our countries.  We are victims of fate in that sense.  Don't you feel bad for people who were born into the DPRK? 

I'm also saying that the more that Europe and North America develop, the more attentive sincere persons should be to the power structure between affluent nations and poor nations.  YES, much of African culture is fucked up, but we kind of had a ROLE in some of that.  European racial ideas, among other things, fueled the Rwandan genocide.  Am I saying that we need to throw money at the problem/hyperintervene?  No, that's probably part of how the problem was exacerbated.  But you should be AWARE of the problems, and think seriously about what the future will do to these problems.  AIDS and the drying of the Sahara are two factors which play a role in the schism in African culture, and it should at least bother you that people are dying.  If not in and of itself, then definitely because these things fuel a resentful world underclass comparable to Islam.

And, however unfeasible it is to do something meaningful at present, IT SHOULD LINGER IN THE BACK OF YOUR HEAD that we do inhabit the same planet, and the more technology various states gain, the greater the necessity for cooperation-whatever that may mean.
