Communism and Capitalism are not political systems. They are economic systems. Fascism, democracy and monarchies are political systems, as well as empires. Democracy can be either direct democracy (Athens) or a representative democracy (The USA). Fascism can be like Hitler's system, or Mousolini's system of corporatism, which is an offshoot of fascism. Monarchies and empires are at the whim of a king or emperor (Old England for a king, or Rome for an empire - also the Galactic Empire in Star Wars). An offshoot of a monarchy is a constitutional monarchy (Modern day Great Britian, with a prime minister, a parliament and a monarch who's only power is choosing the prime minister from the majority party.) I really feel that a representative democracy like the Founding Fathers of America intended is the best political system, and in my opinion, the best economic system is a mixed economy with a saftey net for the poor, and free markets with regulation of corporations.
