I'm a commu-capitalist. I believe that young adults ages 15, 16, and 17 should work for the State. Rural residents would work on farms and such, while urban residents would be assigned to city parks, roads, and graffiti clean-up. Additionally, everyone the age of 18 ( or once they've completed high school, whichever occurs second) should do a manditory 3 years in the military branch of their choice. While in service to the state, they'd earn a wage, but that wage would be placed into a retirement fund, which the State can borrow from in exchange for an interest rate. In other words, someone who gets $20,000 in their retirement fund recieves, say, $50,000 after interest. Additionally, the wages of the last 6 months of military service would be given to the individual in order to help them get on their feet after their service is done. After that, what they do with their life is up to them. If they just want to start working, they can do so. If they want to continue their education (which they'd also have the opportunity to do in the military), their last 6 months of wages should help pay for. (Or their family can help.) If they want to start their own business, they may. The communist aspect only applies to those 6 years, after that they operate as if in a capitalistic society.

As for government officials, it would be democratic. Local elections would be popular democratic. State elections would be representive democratic. Federal elections would be both popular and representative. ("Popular" meaning the votes of each individual.)
