Well, given that I do live in a country that probably is "very socialist" by this poll's standards and given that I like it here, I'll go with that one.

France is NOT socialist. Big government does NOT=Socialist. Understand?
The French system of government is set up to give massive power to the conservative Establishment in the Paris suburbs. The people that benifit from it are well off suburbanites.
The people who suffer because of it are the poor.
Such a system IS NOT AND CANNOT BE THOUGHT OF AS SOCIALIST.

I voted laissez-faire, but only because I am lucky enough to not be part of the working class.  If there were no capital in the family, I would definitely vote 'socialist'.  Anyone who works for a living would have to be nuts to vote otherwise.

France isn't as left-wing as you people seem to think. Sweden, Norway, Finland, Holland, Germany, Belgium, The U.K., and Spain are all more socialist than we are.

I'd rather live in France than a nation in a state of economic anarchy. But if by "laissez-faire" you mean something like the United States, just a bit more to the libertarian side, then sure.

I won't vote.

Laissez-faire is not economic anarchy. It's more like the United States pre-Hoover.

If you mean socialists-socialist and laissez-faire anarchy, socialist.

If you mean moderate versions of both, i'd have to go with what I believe-laissez faire but with safeguards. I suppose if you are talking France vs. older version of america, on this one, i'll have to abstain, but if compelled to vote, i'd go with France-it really isn't all that economically socialist, Phil.
