    Socialism. When properly implemented, it has a fair amount in common with capitalism but you keep what you earn, the disabled aren’t left to die, and billionaires aren’t an option.

      The only one of these I can see socialism eliminating is unemployment. You can easily have dictators and wars with socialism.

        Socialism contains within it pressures against war and dictatorship, while Capitalism contains within it pressures towards war and dictatorship. Socialism alone wouldn’t outright eliminate dictators and war, but would go a very long way towards eliminating them over time.

      When properly implemented

      Much like how capitalism is judged by it’s results and not it’s intentions we’ve had enough socialist experiments to know that it’s the people that are the problem not the system we use to organize them.

        I think every ideology that wants a fighting chance of working requires excellent checks and balances. Globalization had made this particularly hard though.
