Which societies are more corrupt, Democracies, Monarchies, Communist, Dictatorships or Socialists?
85217
Dictatorships (and their circle of associates) are ultimately more corrupt than any other form of government.\n\nHowever, when it comes to Society they are probably the least corrupt because if one is found to be corrupt by the standards of the goverment he could easily be executed.\n\nModern day Monarchies I would say are less corrupt. Old day Monarchies could range from little to full corruption.\n\nSocialists are democratic they are just not capitalists.\n\nCommunism as practiced in recent eras was very veryyy corrupt, however, in Russia there is more corruption now that is a democracy than before.\n\nUsually it is a case by case on each society that you should mostly look at

Communism is a society where the Government controls and distributes everything, usually by inspiring fear in the populice.  \n\nThe above answer better describes socialism then communism, though both are remarkably similar.

A. Democracy is a myth.  No country has ever been a true democracy.  A true democracy everyone from age eight to death has a say on every issue.  (The US is a Federal Republic with divided and diffused powers divided between the various jurisdictions giving the federal a very specific roll and the rest to the states)\n\nB Oligarchy is the rule of a small group over a country-WHICH IS THE CORRECT ANSWER\n\nC. Theocracy is rule by a god\n\nD. Dictatorship is complete rule of one ruler.\n\n\nAgain the correct answer is B

Actually the Nazis had a socialist form of government.  Now I am not about to start comparing anyone to the Nazis and the atrocities they committed during WW2, but if you were going to compare the 2 major parties in the US, most people would say the Republicans are more capitalist and the Democrats are more socialist. Please post another question if you need a definition of socialism and capitalism, I will be glad to help educate you.

The Socialist Party tends to be leaning towards a more controlling government (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socialism ), while the Democrats are simply leaning towards more personal freedom (gay marriage, abortion, etc.) and less economic freedom (welfare, public Social Security, higher taxes). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democratic_Party_%28United_States%29 for more information on the Democratic Party in the U.S. (if you don't live in the U.S., simply type in "Democratic Party" in Wikipedia and select your country)

Most societies, despite rhetoric, are socialist to some extent.  Specifically, this means at least some central government control of economic events.  Look at most 1st world countries for your answers (example: USA or UK).  Pure socialism cannot exist, although you get some countries calling themselves "social capitalists." (If that interests you, study Scandinavian countries)\n\nCommunist politics are generally difficult to untangle from economics.  Theoretically, communist countries must be consensus democracies, but this is impossible outside of small, like-minded groups, hence actual communist economies have possibly only existed in small, isolated villages (usually 3rd world), where the pay is the same because everyone lives in the same hut and there is no currency.  Communism is utopian (a pipedream).  Otherwise, the best answer is by consensus, which would be nice, but isn't politics (resultant over conflicts of interest).  My best guess would be that ALL people in such a society would place conflict resolution and equality over profit and selfishness such that any conflict would be resolved out of not only a personal but a societal desire to avoid conflict.  (Note: small isolated villages also have many of the health and sanitary problems that we internet users tend to lack.)\n\nIronically, pure capitalism is the same as communism.  Everyone is looking out for themselves: anarchy.  But it's an untenable position as some people will find that it's in their best interests to form coalitions for protection and self-preservation and - viola! - hello socialism!  If you want to see something approaching pure capitalism, enter a room full of maximum security prisioners for several hours and nothing to do.  This is why some people prefer the delusion of communism over capitalism, despite the fact that neither is realistic because not everyone is altruistic or violently selfish.  How can you tell we are not a pure capitalist country?  Child sex slavery is illegal.\n\nIF, however, you want to go with polical rhetoric definitions, please see your party representatives to give you their nonsense dogmatic responses.  (PS: Subtext is that the "communist party" never really was communist, but like our political parties, knew how to play on a popular lie.)

History has proven pure communism or socialism doesn’t work. Humans are free thinkers and eventually demand access to individual freedoms and rights. History has also proven pure democracy and capitalism doesn’t work either.\n\nThe answer is a balance between the two. In a perfect society there would be enough social programs to support the poor, sick, and needy while providing opportunity for those “go getters” who wish to pursues wealth and success.

Communism is evil.  Look at its history in China, North Korean, SE Asia, Russia, Cuba, etc etc etc\n\nIndia needs to strengthen its democracy.  It is the one example where democracy is fimly entrenched in South Asia.  Indian people need to address economic disparities, including the elimination of the caste system or its reminants.

Until you said indvidual freedom, I would have said China-- communism almost sounds nice. But no nation has all of those things except the Kingdom of Heaven, which is eternal.

Socialism is just a nicer form of communism where capitalism is the complete opposite of communism

Republican: Culture of Corruption (Believe Government is bad, then get elected so they can prove it)\n\nDemocrat: Government as a force for good (Believe WE ARE THE GOVERNMENT, so government is as good as we make it)

Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all others.\nAs for the answer below-Cuba is wonderful as long as you don't like to eat or practice religion.

the closest systems you will find are Sweden and I think Switzerland as these two countries hold a lot of referendums where people vote on major issues, which is the purest form of liberal democracy.

Guerrilla society.  Control of votes and people as opposed to gaining votes and supporters.
