framework to shape my near-future political and economic inquiries

I've basically come to the conclusion that the most humane socio-political framework in which to enable the "ramping down" from Empire is socialist.

I'm under no illusion that this is an ideal solution, but I see it as the least of all political evils.

What I have in mind would be a socialist framework that would mistrust central government and view any successful step taken towards permanent decentralization as a victory. This framework would recognize that changes would have to take place over time, perhaps centuries. This framework would also recognize that there is danger in any established solution-edifice that it could itself become part of the problem in 2-3 generations.
