In theory, most forms of government are perfect. But they will never work perfectly, because we are imperfect beings carrying out the tasks. People can fight about wanting a capitalist utopia, or socialist utopia, but as long as we are humans, we will attain neither.

The problem is half the world wants different things out of a government. You can break everyone down into two categories.

1. To create a world where each year, everyone has the opportunities to live a better life then the life they lived last year.

2. To create a world where each year, everyone is guaranteed a better minimum standard of living then the standard they had the last year.

To achieve either of those, is to sacrifice the other. Until everyone wants the same thing, we will never achieve anything.
