Err...Horn, I don't think this is a fair question. The two choices you have given are extreme opposites of each other. Plus, they both immediately call for a particular political system, no other considerations. Given the fact that there's not one country that's practicing all-out free-enterprise or socialism, do we really want to set ourselves up for failure AGAIN *lol*?

Hi saxiib, i think this is the first topic i have seen u post or perhaps the first am replying to .

 

Well anyway i would like to concur with jazeera here saxiib. The 2 options u have given are both @ the end of their respective spectrums. Niether one or the other would really be the ideal mode of governance, even as a theoretical argument.

 

I think the prior 30 yrs or so of said's rule he and his minsters adopted a socialist/nationalist type of approach to governance (some other members old enough on here might eb able to elabortae further on this and give u its relative success or failer), and although some maye argue that @ least that managed to maintane a somalia (compared to what exists now) others (perhaps me included) would argue that what is needed is a mode of governance not to disimilar to that which

 

we are governed by in these various countries that we live in.

 

Granted that they would have to be some adjustments to these with regards to taking account of economical issues ( Banking system free of interest trade) constitutional issues (freedom of speech/press/religion but not secularism) and so forth.

 

So to conclude, ideal what would need to be struck up is some kind of middle ground between the two options that u have given AMENDED so that it can incorporate the concerns of the citzens as a whole.
