You tried to cop out by using jargon.
But fine, whatever.
> Hard power is a term describing political power obtained from the use of military and/or economic coercion to influence the behavior or interests of other political bodies.
> Soft power is the ability to obtain what one wants through co-option and attraction.
Having hard power is not a good thing. Any system that utilises hard power is a bad system.

Hard power is needed sometimes. The two world wars being prime examples.
It can't be all lovely and wibbly all the time.

If nobody used hard power, they wouldn't have happened.

Sadly, the human race finds it very difficult to abandon violence. Sometimes all it takes is one loon to whip the populace up into a frenzy.

I believe we need a mixed market, but I lean much further towards capitalism.

Socialist countries don't care to much about money.
Also, I would wantAnarchism, but since that is impossible, probably a highly regulated capitalism would be best.

Now, unless the mugger is the king of Saudi Arabia, I don't think that you do.

Well, we are a bit of a lost generation. Baby Boomers hold the power and the money. We are an educated and underemployed generation.

@54,944 (The Owl !yshAAUvyds)1) My sense of self importance is never unwarranted.
2) You need to greetext such misinterpretations.
3) I never said my view was the only applicable one.
You still have a lot to learn, young man.
