(6,257 posts)For starters I'd abolish capitalism and reform the economy along a syndicalist model. However, within the framework of capitalism, I would do three things while maintaining our current market economy since I assume that's what the OP means.
1. I would replace our Presidential system with a Parliamentary system of Proportional Representation.
2. All major industries necessary to the common good would be nationalized, ie. healthcare, energy, banks, etc.
3. Dismantle the MIC. All troops would be withdrawn, the majority of our military bases would be closed. In order to prevent further unnecessary wars and to prevent the return of the MIC, I would require that all military action, that takes place outside of the United States, be subject to a national vote by the electorate. No more "police actions" or drone strikes.
