Leftists want to make parasites like drug addicts who never worked a day in their life have the same access to goods and services, immensely increasing their sense of entitlement.

Rightists want to make sure that inheritance remains as the  only way of creating wealth.

I haven't even mentioned anarchism (of any economic alignment), libertarianism, American Republicans and Democrats, etc.

Partisanship is pointless. Every political ideology has very serious flaws. Without formulating an ideology, or at least a guiding principle, it's pretty easy to contradict oneself.

Do you think there's an ideology or a political system that doesn't have very serious political flaws?

DISCUSS.

Most political systems have few flaws.  When the flaws become obvious a new system is conceived to replace the old.  Men have flaws.  Ultimately, for reasons like pride, personal convenience, laziness, ignorance, and outright foolishness they allow the flaws in their political system to reach untenable proportions before they act, and a chaotic readjustment ensues.
It need not be this way.  The fundamental issue in the design of a society is the question of personal freedom versus social responsibility.  There is a brilliant and popular theoretical model that, with some tweaking, avoids the exercises in compromises that are our current political systems.  This model demands integrity.  Those who wish to serve, serve, and those who would be free, are free.  Any man who knows service, knows that service means obedience.  And any man who Knows freedom, knows that freedom means responsibility.
