What economic system do you follow

Post Reply New Topic

Which economic systems do we Autistics follow. We Autistics have different political and economic thought and beliefs. Do you follow Capitalism, Communism, Corporatism, Socialism, Syndicalism, or what other system do you follow. I would love to know what we Autistics like and believe in.

Which system do we...."follow"?????

The word "follow" usually means "practice", or "put into action" (as in "what religion do you follow?").



If that's what you mean then obviously a person has no choice but to "follow" whatever economic system exists in the country you live in. Here in the US its a mixed economy but mostly capitalist. So in the US you "follow" capitalism (whether you're a worker or an owner).

Folks use the word "follow" to mean "keep track of" (as in "follow the stock market", "follow the Manchester Union soccer team", or "follow a soap opera on TV". But that doesn't seem to be what you mean either.

If by "follow" you mean "favor", or "believe in" then that could be something other than what the system you live in is. You might yearn for a better system. And many do. But that's an odd usage of the word "follow".

I live in the US so obviously I follow Capitalism.

And you know Capitalism isn't all that great. In this country a person's value is judged by how much money they have. The poor and homeless are taken advantage of and treated unfairly all the time and the gap between the rich and the poor is getting bigger and bigger every year.

Thank you President Reagan for those huge tax cuts in the 1980's that allowed the rich to get richer while the poor get poorer. People really wonder why our economy is so f****d now?

I'm a non-believing practitioning capitalist.
However, I live in one of those socialist European countries, where the poor get some money to survive on and I think that makes our streets safer, if nothing else.
But to do more than just survive, one has to practice capitalism, here, as well.
And capitalism isn't all bad. It gave us cars (that heat up the globe), computers (that break and then pollute the world), the juicero and the 60 hour work week.

I figure out how to minimize the money I give in taxes &
I figure out how to maximize the government services I can get.

In summary ...

I plan my economy, does that mean I have a planned economy?
