Why socialism could not work even with virtuous men.

[mburbank]

"So you are critiquing bureacracy, and advocating more of it? Doesn't seem to make much sense to me."

Because you miss my point. I am saying tht the name you give a system, in my 'hypothetical' case Democrtic Capitalism, is pretty meaningless. Call your form of government anything you like, it's the way it's practiced that has some meaning.

And I agree with Ror. Government is corrupted by peoples desire for power. This is why I favor heavy, reinforced checks and balances. It's why I think the sytematic attempt to remove these checks and balances is dangerous. I don't care what 'ism' youre under.
