Great reply!

And I have to say I agree with almost all of your statements. I don't agree with socialism, although I have to agree that the systems being used in Europe (where I grew up) seem to work a lot better than unregulated capitalism. The USA is a disgrace when it comes to the education and prison system, things that shouldn't be used for profit.

I lean left cause I think most of the suffering in the world comes from the current wealth distribution.
But I don't think re-distributing is is the solution.

Our monetary system is flawed, and if we keep trying to keep our current system going, we'll only end up with more war, pain, and suffering.

Is there another way? Perhaps..
I'm intrigued by Jacque Fresco's idea of a resource based economy.
