It doesn't demand the total abolition of private enterprise - only the fair distribution of wealth - the workers having a say in their own enterprise and the even handed use of resources for the benefit of all rather then the current system where the few only benefit.

The whole problem with humanity is the obsession with materialism. It's time for humanity to grow a spiritual backbone and I'm not talking about organized religion. There's enough love to go round for all, but for some reason, humanity only wants to hate something or someone. It's not the system of government that's flawed, it's humanity.

I would love to hear any other opinions which some people have offered o a new alternative. The world has to change - the poverty globally is abhorrent to anyone with human decency.
