>1. Atheism vs Theism:
Theism
>2. Realism vs Idealism:
I was going to say realism, but the more I think about it the more I realize that I believe in idealism with God as the observer
>3. Rationalism vs Empiricism:
Rationalism
>4. Free Will vs Determinism:
Free Will - not in the meme impose-your-will-on-reality sense, but in that we can make choices independent of any happenings in the physical realm
>5. Deontology vs Utilitarianism:
Deontology
>6. Capitalism vs Socialism:
Tl;dr: Capitalism
Every system of governance will be corrupted by humans' innately evil nature - whatever limits this nature best for any specific set of circumstances is what I support. I tend toward capitalist/libertarian ideals, but I'm not married to them and I can see myself supporting a socialist government, depending on the situation. Fullblown Leninist communism, however, or fascism, or monarchism, almost always permits huge abuses of power by authorities with little to no oversight, which is why I lean libertarian (that and I'm a /g/entooman). But without enough government corporations will set up their own power structures that effectively become micro-governments of their own, with all the aforementioned problems, so some regulation is necessary. I don't think there's an ideal situation, it's just an eternal balancing game. The kind of game you can never win, only not lose for a while.
