I would arrive at communism, if there was a guarantee that an evil dictator wouldn't take over and ruin everything. Also, the entire working class would be robots. Just robots. Humans would only have to work service jobs and collect paychecks.
Too bad technology isn't there yet, and there will never be a dictatorship immune from misuse. There'll never be any government immune from misuse, but dictatorships are especially easily controlled for obvious reasons.
So I'm going libertarian.
What falls away is always, and is near.

I always found anarcho-capitalism interesting. It's a type of libertarianism.

You can always go live on a commune... Well, this is my own personal view on what is the best political system in practice. Fat chance of this being applied to America, though.

Dammit I voted on this without looking at the date. Libertarian myself, government get corrupted, the bigger the faster. Small government is easier to keep on a leash.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Politics are as a whole a way to give the powerful more power.
I think humanity needs to concentrate on truly bettering/furthering itself as a species.
Fuck politics. So my 'other' really means that I vote null because no choice represents my choice.

I mostly dislike these "As an atheist ..." questions.
It's not a worldview; it's only a part of a worldview.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

Any form of government is okay so long as the rules don't apply to me.

That's one for the "grumpy old man" political outlook.
