Ok, in my opinion, both the market capitalist system and the central planning system have their flaws and instead I believe we should change to a system called participatory economics, which is a system based on equity, solidarity, diversity and self-management.

If anyone knows anything about it, feel free to comment, if not, you can check the PARECON instructional on www.zmag.org

what you said means nothing. It's like saying the world sucks cause there is too much hate, and too little love. What I propose we do is change the world by decreasing the hate and increasing the love. What the hell does that mean? Explain.

equity, does that mean we will all be equal in outcome?

solidarity, does that mean we will all be equal because we all share. Or will we have solidarity in consumption choices and buy the same things.

diversity, do black people, asian people and white people all have to buy different food and clothes?

self-management, so are we back to capitalism.
