Anyplace you like. It's pretty much been done to death, but don't let that stop you.

So there's two choices there, you can be led by someone who doesn't know what the f**k he is doing but is benevolent or someone who knows what he's doing but is a dictator.
It would be nice if that was true. But the multiple right wing dictatorships in the Americas have shown that they were not only incompetent, but corrupt as well.
All right - but I'm going to let you count them. Non-communist dictatorships. - Try every nation in Central America except Costa Rica. Then try every country in Asia except Turkey, Israel, Jordan, India, Laos, North Vietnam, North Korea, China, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Japan, Papua New Guinea, Mongolia, and Malaysia. Next South America - every nation including Venezuela which has not always been socialist, except Guyana, Surinam, and French Guiana. Africa - a mixed bag, but most of the nations there have experienced right wing dictatorships at one time or another. Generally if the government was overthrown in a military coup them it ends up as right wing.
Here is a list by Conservapedia. As its name suggests it is right wing in nature so I expect you may accept its bias. The description of each government should allow you to figure out whether it was right or left wing.

Well that is that then , we should all go out and embrace 100% communism .Can I keep the family silverware ?
This guy below pretty much sums it up:
Don't you think it is interesting that countries with a british colonization background have generally done quite well, yet countries with a spanish colonization background have generally not done as well?
Both groups have had their varying degrees of left and right systems, so what is the key difference?. If you ask me, the key difference is the magna carta. some food for thought
Cant say i know much about it, mostly just saying the the magna carta is still one hell of a doc after 700 years. You should agree. The us was based largely on the british.
It would take quite a while to explain why nations founded by Spain have not done as well as nations founded by Britain. But I can give you a few answers. One is that Spanish society was very rigid socially. It was difficult if not impossible to move from one social class to another unless you were someone like Hernan Cortes who became overwhelmingly wealthy due to his conquest of Technotitlan.
Another is that Spanish society was highly intolerant of different religions. The Catholic Church suppressed all independent thought and deliberately destroyed what it did not understand.
Spanish colonies were settled top-down. Vast land grants were handed out to members of the Spanish aristocracy and the church as opposed to the many free farmers who settled in British colonies. This resulted in a huge concentration of wealth and the denial of any opportunity for other settlers to work their way up.
Spanish bureaucracy was unbelievably corrupt. It was impossible to get anything done without bribes and it was incredibly slow and inefficient.
Spain did not value educational systems. Only the wealthy were educated along with members of the church. In English colonies one of the first things that was developed was a school system.
Upon independence all of the ex-colonies inherited these deficiencies and unfortunately, with few exceptions, did nothing to change them.
It is interesting that you should comment on Spain, because Portuguese colonies had identical problems.
In 82 then 91, canadians failed to include property rights to the constitution. something that the magna carta for the basis of in british law.
What happens to the homeowner when he meets that 1 out of 1000 burglars that doesn't run? Is it reasonable to expect the home owner to use non lethal force? If the burglar gives him a beat down, is it reasonable to expect the the burglar will stop before the homeowner is dead? They wont do anything dumb or wreckless like a simple kick to the side of the head?
LOL Depends on which country one happens to live in firstly and secondly even the stats on falling at home would probably be higher of causing more harm than being injured or killed by a burglar in one's home.
Here are Canada's homicides rates and I would suspect there may or may not be one homicide or injury to a homeowner from a burglar in any one of those cases.

So how does one even justify changing the gun laws to accommodate the killing of a burglar or protecting property, compared with preventing the killing by a gun being allowed for self protection? Particularly, when statistically the homeowner or his family is more likely to die or be seriously injured by the gun kept to supposedly protect??
