This may be a semantically driven point, but I think choosing language is important.
I would argue that America is theoretically built on being a Republic (much different from a democracy) and free market capitalism.
I believe where we are at is undoubtedly corporate fascism which can pervert the good intentions of any ideologist philosophy. Although the US is certainly the epicenter of this since the 1940's i think the model has been adapted internationally for the most part (ie China, supposedly communist strikes me as a collectivist corpro fascist state, Russia, UK, etc etc). Everywhere I look I see entrenched crony capitalism no matter what banner of philosophy the state's try to disguise it under.
I really think Crony-Collectivism ideally describes most developed and undeveloped countries at this time. The world strikes me a massive Global Banana Republic, yet we spend most of our time fighting each other over ridiculous nuances in the Geo-political and economic system.
In other words, while we are busy killing ourselves over nuance, the collectivist cash in.
The world strikes you as a bananah republic ? we dont have those where i live . dont they mostly fight over shipping and pricing of material at clothing factorys ? Or is it the part where only one person can control that type of bubble that your talking about . its kinda like your talking to yourself the whole time .the information is ok but you need to remove the "i" "belief" "argue" "me" "ourselves" "we" "really" "think" stuff.
maybe means no.semantically driven point
