Thoughts that come to me in the AM, sleepless techno-babble, programming moans and groans. And another way to feed my internet addiction.

The corporate part may not, but the capitalism seems to be the best working system so far...(there is no absoloutly good system, capitalism is not perfect, and that is the secret of its success, it's not ideal, it's not utopian)
The system itself is not that bad, it has proven to work where others have not. The classist society it creates is whats not alright.
Absolutely Good: is a utopian kind of system, which should be avoided, in order to avoid inserting external force on a society whose civilians and thus itself wants and requires freedom.
If you think its utopian, why should we avoid it?
It's very simple, because a Utopian system would be an ideal one. The nature of human being may approach a Utopian ethics (a form of very good, or a form of very just, just as Plato puts it) but applying this political systems would require those in power to force some of their (own) ethics on others unintentionally. This will gradually produce tyranny and dictatorship. For more explanations and reasoning on this you can refer to my Series of Hypocrisy of Our Democracy (I to III specifically) at:

Wishfull thinking, however human nature isn't always filled with such good intentions, as we have seen in the past.
Human nature is never filled with good deeds. quite the opposite...putting humans in power, considering their ambition, they would always abuse the power...all humans would. That's why to stop it u want to have balance of power. It is only thru balancing two powers that a society can achieve harmony, any One Power will lead to tyrrany ( as we have seen in the past ;) )
I agree, a balance of power makes for a good governmental system. Parliaments, Representatives, Congress's etc. are essential to a sucessfull government.
