Nothing perfect in society
"Our society is run by insane people for insane objectives. I think we're being run by maniacs for maniacal ends and I think I'm liable to be put away as insane for expressing that. That's what's insane about it."( John Lennon) In this society there are many opinions on what can make a perfect society but are any of these political philosophy superior to the other? The answer is no,there is no superior political philosophy because each philosophy are connected to one another. Each theory is based on what would make a perfect society but that is a flaw because in all actuality no society would ever be perfect.Utilitarianism the doctrine that an action is right, it promotes happiness, and that the greatest happiness of the greatest number should be the guiding principle of conduct. This philosophy is flawed because everyone in a society can be happy some people have to struggle and be poor some have to be rich and be happy. Ethos/enlightenment is the action of enlightening or the state of being enlightened which is insight, understanding, awareness, wisdom, education, learning, and knowledge. This is all good in theory but not everyone can absorb knowledge. Realpolitik principles based on practical rather than moral or ideological considerations. Anarchism is a philosophy that gives total power to the government, which isn't good if the government it could lead to corruption. Libertarianism is the theory that emphasizes individualism, which isn't good because if everyone do there own thing then society could become chaotic and bankrupt.European socialism tries to provide work opportunities, education, healthcare, and shelter, as well as trying to avoid violence in disagreements which is impossible because there a lot of people in the world with different opinions.Machiavellian is a philosophy that represents a dictatorship, which isn't good because people don't have a opinion. Egalitarianism is a philosophy that represents equality and for everyone to be treated equal but everyone isn't going to be treated equal. Anarchism is a philosophy that resembles total power which can lead to a corrupt government. In everyone's perfect society there is a flaw.
