That and people have a different idea of what is a theoretical perfect political system as shown here with libertarianism and social libertarianism.

That doesn't determine that the free market will win every time with economy either. I know a lot of people here don't like Venezuela, but their welfare state (social democracy) worked very well to keep their oil money in Venezuela so private enterprise could flourish. They might be moving towards democratic socialism if a change in the constitution get passed and that will be interesting to see what happens.
