    BTW, I am not outlining this as the choices for America. Although it seems this is the direction we are leaning, is having to make this choice.

    But in general, if you had to choose, with no bearing on whats happening in America at this time. Which would you choose and why?

    No surprise here. I chose liberal socialism.

    I hate and despise religion. Especially organized religion. Any conservative fasicst country will have religion frony and center generall. In America this would obviously be Christianity, which I despise. I pretty much despise all religion though, and the people who push them.

    any free society impo needs to be sufficiantly socially liberal. To enforce a conservative ideology on people is by definition, limiting their freedom.

    where is a liberal society gives you the personal choice to live a conservative lifestyle, while affording those who dont want to a path forward.

    I would be a pariah either way thus I would prefer neither. To go with the subjectivity perceived lesser evil is to go with an evil.

    "Liberal Socialist"
    "Conservative Fascist"

    No one knows what you mean by those terms since all four of those words have an "eyes of the beholder" quality.

    In theory (THEORY) a conservative, fascist country would be unified, focused, purposeful, and law-abiding. From its population, it would draw the very best the country has in order to fill its ranks involving all professions, irrespective of race or cultural background. And although it would be very stern in its application of 'crime-and-punishment' justice, it would adhere to the letter of the law. But, "theories" often fail, and fascism always seems to get derailed into the worse kinds of governmental nightmares imaginable!

    Socialism? Much the same, actually, except that it doesn't even start off being "good" in the first place. Any form of government that rewards people for doing nothing but being docile, unreasoning, unproductive morons is doomed to failure from the first moment.

    So, which is better? There were no other choices in this thread, so... flip a coin.

    Which is way more likely to be the case in a liberal socialist country.

    Asinine response with no credible basis given that this nation is riddled with Xtofascists who vote Republican.

    And yet look at who runs the White House, the Senate, and still wields great power in the House!

    Looks like the 'woke', radical Democrats have nothing to fear from a bunch of disorganized, self-serving, confused Conservatives who can't even get Donald Trump to shut up, go away, and play golf for the rest of his life.

    The opposite of socialism is capitalism, so I vote capitalist. I can see that option though. Not really a thought out poll

    How are you going to tamp down the influence of religion in your chosen society?

    Didn't Jesus sacrifice himself for the "greater good" of all humanity?

    Given that you appear to hate Xtianity the most.

    Republicans are ARMING demented people with AR15's and ABUSING free speech to incite them into committing act of violence. That is well documented fact.

    People. I understand neither option is going to be reality, nor desireable. For almost anyone.

    The point was picking the lesser of two evils ( much like most of our elections )

    You're confused. What I hate is collectivist authoritarianism.

    the only people who whine about that these days tend to be those who complain that the religious call their lifestyles "sinful". No one is actually being persecuted for their hedonistic or promiscuous lifestyles.
