I like the ideas of Libertarianism and Communism, but I don't feel that either could work in practice. Libertarianism (which would be great if people upheld a certain moral code) relies too much on the people involved not over stepping their bounds and by trying to punish them, we as a society would be limiting their own freedom which completely throws the idea of libertarianism out the window.
On the other side of the spectrum, I believe that communism sounds great in theory, but could never be done on any sort of large scale community for a period of time. If we were not connected with new forms of travel and information sharing than it could possibly work in small, self sustained pockets, but past that, I don't believe that it is possible. I like the idea of everyone being equal and being on the same level, even those who currently don't fit into our society could find new hope and those who do not work would be made to.
If we could figure out some form of compromise between the two, I believe that it would fit rather well into my own moral code. There wouldn't be much difference between my ideals of treating people well regardless of who they are and any form of Libertarianism and Communism.
I think that I could live according to both of my "codes", but I would only uphold the law if I felt that it did not take away certain rights or go overboard in how it controlled everybody's' lives. As long as the demands were not totally unreasonable for the people to follow, than I could support either of the two ideas without too much complaint. My moral code and my spiritual beliefs however would come first. The Bible tells us to obey the law until it comes into conflict with God's Word, so that is what I would do. I would obey the law to a point, but I would not sacrifice my beliefs for it.
