In governance not so much. but in distribution of resources(to a very limited extent) yes.
Islam gets rid of usury/interest which actually drives poverty around the world.
But then most world religions help the poor and needy right?

No and this is the best economic theory that I have found

So basically mutualism is capatalism with stronger influence of the justice system preventing the manipulation of the market without intervention that has happened in a capitalist economy, with the ability to increase currency through the creation of credit in a banking system that is prevented from high interest rates by a external justice system. So that the economy is free from government intervention but protected by government intervention at the same time.

It's interesting. We could technically have something like this already if our congress would just pass a law preventing banks from issuing interest higher than a certain amount. It could be as simple as that to start moving the economy in this direction. They won't do this and most of the problems in our economy are created by the passive involvement of our justice system rather than having the justice system actively provide checks and balances for our economic system.

I also don't agree that currency should increase through credit either. I think a banking system should have some kind of membership fee, and should be reduced in size overall. The banking system should be something more like a cloud storage system that only requires enough income to pay for servers, maintenance, and the few people required to operate it. Otherwise, we don't need banks at all.

What we need is a currency system that increases at a controllable rate through a mathematical equation. Personally, I like the opportunities cryptocurrencies provide for this. However, their is no fixed rate cryptocurrency at the moment, but I think this would be ideal. It would increase the amount of circulating currency without creating inflation and providing the opportunity to increase production of services and goods by creating capital at the same time.

Overall, mutualism is still a much better solution than communism.

I appreciate the response and that's a pretty accurate summation, although we don't call ourselevs capitalists.
This is probably the best resource if you are interested.

It sounds a lot like libertarianism. I follow the libertarian party myself. Basically, they both sound more like new terms to describe the principles that America began with rather than the unregulated circus that is our political system today. Implementing things like this would bring improvements to our economy. Communism, is just another group of people trying to take advantage of the people being taken advantage of by capitalists who buy politicians so they won't create legislation preventing them from taking advantage of people. Unfortunately, most people don't realize that this is what communism is and communism's baby socialism seems to be somewhat popular in our country because of this.

My solution to this is requiring Econ 101 in junior high. :)

That would solve the problem. Get rid of home economics, or something, and make everyone taken an economics class in junior high.

It is Left-Libertarianism, that's what I consider myself politically and is better than Austrian Economics which would see the entire world as private property and allow corporations to do whatever they want.

No, but I went to college with someone who was a card-carrying Communist Party member. He can never run for office now.
