The concept that the reason that we have a market-based liberal democracy is very interesting. It does make sense that we are governed in a manner that is derived from our most basic characteristics, the want or greed for more explains our capitalist society and desire to govern ourselves explains the democratic system; we are most comfortable with what is familiar.
But if our wants change and instead do move towards a more socialist point of view, how long would it take for the government to follow through with the change. Or would it even change? The established government would be very difficult to overthrow, even with the impeachment process, which itself is a very difficult process to actually get started. The concept of democracy has been around for centuries but not has been put into practice around the world until a few hundreds years ago. So will it take that long for socialism to follow if that is what we wanted? And how likely is it that human nature would change to a different form of government/culture?
