I think it has the potential to be the third way we desperately need, a democratic alternative to both capitalism and socialism.

I would love to hear peoples opinions of it.

(I am in the process of drawing together my own personal version of it)

Looks like an absolute nightmare.

Yuck.

No.

It seems anti-individualism. There are those who are more social that this may seem ideal for. There are those not so social that this may seem a nightmare for. The problem being that while this may make a large number of people happy, it may also leave a large number of people out in the cold.

What is a "radical centrist" supposed to be? Someone who has no opinions except that everyone else needs to tone down their disagreement?

On the other hand, what is a "democratic" alternative to socialism supposed to mean?

We do need more emphasis on community, but communitarianism is way too anti-individual for my liking.
