Akula, social and economic systems don't work on the theory that a central brain should ensure happiness for all. They work more like the brain of an ant. An ants brain doesn't tell the leg to move. The leg tells the other leg. Vibrant, lasting social and economic systems are similar to this. Also, the belief that if A is good, more of A is even better is a fallacy. A few examples... -Some gun laws are good and necessary, completely banning them is bad. -Some Welfare is good and necessary, completely providing it for decades is destructive. -Some taxes are good and necessary, high taxes are bad. -Some environmental laws are good and necessary, completely destroying commerce for the good of nature is not. -Some interjections in other countries to help end starvation is good and necessary, full scale economic and military control is not. In many cases, horrible incidents around the world don't happen because America allowed it to happen. They simply happen. The belief that one central brain should be in charge of the world to end all the wrongs is a utopian dream. However, it's noble to believe that way as a teen.
