I will take either a pragmatic socialist path (leaning slightly towards libertarian socialism).

I would take it as a temporary solution for now, but I think it'll eat itself eventually thanks to the economic model that sits on top of it. I would also name both enlightened despotism and communism, but those are reliant on an ideal-world scenario which by default can't be relied on, so they're right out.
