Journal OldHawk777's Journal: Democracy with Capitalism is the ideal.... 5
True Democracy with Real Capitalism is the ideal Objective social-economic system!
The best possible, for US, EU, RU... will always be Democratic Government with a Capitalist Economy.
The best quality of life for "The People" will always be directly proportional to the ideal of True Democracy and Real Capitalism achievable for the times/culture.
IOW/IMO: Failures (social/economic) are due to subversion of democracy and capitalism by authoritarian politicians/plutocrats and anti-capitalist pseudo-economist supporting scams like the corporatist pyramid-scheme-economics model in the USA, EU....
That pseudo-capitalism works good for China, Arabia, Russia... should have told everyone something about the legalized crimes/scams in credit, banking, businesses, stocks, bonds, RIAA, IPR, DMCA....
Democracy is an "Open" social theory/philosophy. A Democratic Government will at all times represent all the citizens (not special dogma/corporate... interest) by sustaining and defending the rights and freedoms of the individual. Essential to the survival of a democracy is the suppression (as in disenfranchisement) of all other social philosophies, while protecting all citizens' rights to free speech, thought, association, and dogma affiliations/membership/worship....
Democracy is the only way to enfranchise (not their dogma/beliefs) all citizens as equals (legally, morally, ethically...).
All other social theories/philosophies are irrational dogmatic justifications for enslavement of "We The People" around the world.
Capitalism is an "Open" economics theory/philosophy.
Capitalism is best for a pluralist economic meritocracy.
Capitalism will elevate and nourish better Democracy, efforts, innovation, ideas, economics....
Capitalism will eliminate and starve old/failing legacy institutions, systems, dogma... not protect and sustain the monopolistic failures that are "TO BIG TOO FAIL."
Pseudo-Capitalism social systems/dogma will never perform any of the above basic functions of capitalism in an economy/government.
Forms of Pseudo-Capitalism (reward for dogma-merit) social systems/dogma:
___ Corporatism is a "Slave" social theory/philosophy.
___ Aristocracy is a "Slave" social theory/philosophy.
___ Plutocracy is a "Slave" social theory/philosophy.
___ Theocracy is a "Slave" social theory/philosophy.
___ Oligarchy is a "Slave" social theory/philosophy.
___ Communism is a "Slave" social theory/philosophy.
___ Elitism is a "Slave" social theory/philosophy.
___ Anarchy is a "Slave" social theory/philosophy.
Pseudo-Capitalism/Pseudo-Democracy are the reasons for economic failures, which sustain few with maximum resources, and enslaves all others with diminished educational, medical, survival... resources.
Where/when feudalism was retired, the quality of life improved.
When/where the industrial/iron age was diminished, the quality of life improved.
When/where Democracy and Capitalism evolve and flourish, the quality of life will improve.
The USA, EU... too build a stronger economy and improve the quality of life for "The People" around the world, must end all forms of dogmatic plutocrats/anarchist/clergy... pseudo-capitalism, organized Democracy subversion, and gangster-speculation economics.
Be happy in your work (Score:2)
I think all of the "capitalist" businesses I have ever worked for have these two types of implicit philosophies associated with them:
"Don't think about it, do it" (an infantry meme)
"Be happy in your work" (a ubiquitous poster in China during Mao Zedong's reign)
But there are times when suddenly you realize you're nearer the end than the beginning. And you wonder, you ask yourself, what the sum total of your life represents. What difference your being there at any time made to anything. Hardly made any difference at all, really, particularly in comparison with other men's careers. I don't know whether that kind of thinking's very healthy; but I must admit I've had some thoughts on those lines from time to time.

I figured I probably left out of few memes of business life (for the Worker, in the USA and Canada at least). One of the most obvious is the "work faster" philosophy, because their is always "room for improvement". Yep, and yet another one; a Manager must never give an employee a perfect score on an assessment because according to Management practices and beliefs, if an employee thinks they are doing everything correct then they will not improve the efficiency of their work because "good enough never is".

Your point is most folks (>50%, sometimes/places >99%) in management are clueless idiots, I agree; So, neither of US are surprised by current failures in Democracy and Capitalism in the US, EU, Canada... caused by management/leaders....
Most management types would be management under any form of pseudo-Capitalism and/or faux-Democracy. "Work faster" and "room for improvement" philosophy always indicates politician/plutocrat/clergy/corporatist... idiots' rhetoric for stating the obvious and their own to
Capitalism is closed-source (Score:2)
The problem with capitalism is the capitalists themselves- by collecting capital, they become one of your pseudo-capitalism methods eventually. You can't breed authoritarianism out of the human animal.
So I present a third idea: LOCALIZATION. Turn federalism on it's head. Make the city ordinance the highest law of the land.

Evolution will eventually prove the authoritarianism homo-sapient-sapien is a dead end.
As I said, the institution/corporation/concept is not the problem or solution.
Holding leaders/citizens... accountable will mitigate the amoral behavior of homo-sapient-sapiens, solving the problem still requires a homo-sapient-sapiens die-out, mass-extinction, or genetic manipulation/sterilization.
