Socialism: it's a crazy idea, but it might just work.

The establishment of a system of society based on common ownership and democratic control of the means of producing and distributing wealth by and in the interests of all.

Imagine that!  Poverty could be a thing of the past.  Of course you couldn't be a multi-billionaire, but who needs more money than can be spent in a lifetime anyway?

You could stop worrying about the damage that we are doing to the earth because we wouldn't create things, baubles and trinkets, purely for profit.

It would mean the end of having to vote for the likes of the PR men, the Tony Blair's and the David Cameron's who are just spokesmen for multi-national coperations, who in turn are just sucking all the wealth up, making us all miserable in the process and ruining the planet by their greed.  But who would miss that?  Who actually likes to see oil tankers shed millions of gallons of crude into the sea, or striking South African Coal Miners gunned down for daring to question health and safety conditions while mine owners rake in enormous profits while workers die.

Socialism: making life fair again.
