Political Ideologies
C A P I T A L I S M
Capitalism is a political ideology used in almost every country (excluding 5). Capitalism is a system where there is a lower class, middle class and upper class. The lower class performs all of the physical work: working in factories, working in farms etc. and they receive a small amount of money. The middle class is neither poor or rich, they have enough money to afford everything they need to survive AND good houses with great furniture, people in the middle class usually work as a policeman, firefighter etc. . The upper class barely have to work or do anything, they can afford anything they wish for, upper class people are usually government officials, pop stars and famous people who entertain others. A great example of a capitalist country is the U.S.A.

Socialism is a political ideology where poverty is non-existent and everyone has equal access to health care and education. Socialism has many great ups and some of the world's richest countries like Sweden, Denmark and Norway are mostly socialist but so that they would be stable they mix it with capitalism to make it work. Socialism alone is a bad idea as if humans are uncooperative the country could just split like the U.S.S.R and Yugoslavia, those countries that were once part of the U.S.S.R and Yugoslavia are now poor. Yugoslavia was a very prosperous nation but nationalism began to rise and the country crippled and as for the U.S.S.R, the economy just collapsed.

Libertarianism is another political ideology (obviously) where people are allowed to live as they wish and make their own choices without the government or anyone else interfering as long as it is not violent, bad etc. You might not know but the country that has the 19th largest economy: Luxembourg is Libertarianist. Amazing how without the interference of the government people can manage themselves, no riots, no nothing. People live freely in Luxembourg, the economy is booming and crime and drug use is very low.

In a fascist country a dictator rules supreme over the leader and any questioning of the government/dictator is not tolerated. If the ruling body is questioned there will be some form of punishment. Luckily, fascist countries no longer exist (Well countries that don't declare themselves fascist.. I'm looking at you North Korea). The U.S.S.R back in the day when Stalin was around could be considered fascist as Stalin did not tolerate anyone who questioned him and sent them to Siberia, he was also a dictator. The U.S.S.R however did not declare itself fascist, it declared itself communist (It's neither and during WW2 it was far off from communism). Heck, the U.S.S.R wasn't even socialist it was capitalist! However not the type of capitalist you know. It was state capitalist (I'm not doing state capitalism, Google it up or something. I'm too lazy to write more.)
