Libertarian Socialism

Yet they both agree to hand out trillions of dollars in corporate welfare to coal crooks.

See how well they're doing? That's an example of the state working fantastically - just not for you, or me...lol. I understand that you feel that it might be mutually beneficial for two groups to cooperate - and that sounds nice...but it's not exactly a "truism". It -just might- be more beneficial to my group to annihilate your group and claim your resources. Take N. America for example, I mean...you know...if we hadn't already......(couldn't resist)

If we could annihilate the coal industry by giving all of their subsidies to clean energy, that'd be amazing. I'd sign up for that means of annihilation. I'm sure most people would. Just not the two parties of government. They are annihilating each other and themselves.

Not to sound like a bitch but......Right now, we are showing the symptoms of exhausted empires. Losing expensive wars to expand control over resources-CHECK. Massive debt from unwinnable wars-CHECK. Run away inflation-CHECK. Once supply and demand stop meeting, it'll be time to think about plan B. I think plan B should be an improvement over the slow motion car accident we are driving.
