Hello, friends. Sorry I haven't been around recently. Ive been working to improve my English skills. 
I want to talk about the prospect of combining philosophical socialism and philosophical capitalism. Please do not mistake this with mixed market types of Europe and North America!! I say philosophical for a reason.
I wrote a little essay in my native language and had it translated by a friend.
You see ive been studying socialism and capitalism for quite awhile now. I have my problems with both, and I have my loves for both. But I think the current way we combine the two just doesn't work, and letting them go on their own doesnt either!
So to summarize what I said above I believe that the community can act as a member of the market if it abides by democratic principles. The public institutions that are necessary but are troubled with bureaucracy can be resolved with a bottom-up socialist model. workers of these public services like schools should control their work places, not politicians and administrations. Although the tax payers should also have a say if they ever decide to!
however I believe private institutions should be able to operate according to their contract with the public! My example is here. A privately owned company can bargain to not have a union. It can't be forced to have a union unless its contract expires and needs to be renewed. This renewable contract can help the curve social ills by having the private company sit down with the community and discuss issues like environmental problems and overseas sweat shops. Agreements can be met between the two parties.
The market should also be more democratized and more free than it is now. Syndicates or work places that are taken over by the workers should be a legal option if the workers pool together their capital. we need to seriously reconsider the function of the stock market and corporations. these run counter to the principle of a free and democratic market.
I agree with capitalists that the more money the poor and working class keep to a degree the better, although social services are good too! we need to lower the tax rates by rejecting imperialist wars and reforming welfare so that its focused on temporary solutions for those willing to work if ABLE. Social security should be an option but not mendatory and it should not be raided by the government for those who want to keep it! the income tax could be replaced with a progressive sales tax that taxes consumption. i also think the banking system needs to be completely socialized so that the interests of both growing wealth and the suffering individual are at stake.
basically what im looking for is an environment where democracy and individuals work together, where competition and cooperation breed a healthy environment.
Lastly I believe we need to shift a fokus towards direct democracy. at the very least a Swiss model.
