There are two kinds of "Political" systems. One relies on tyranny and any "differences" that people prattle on about are really only superficial.
The first systems are those where some or all of the people in a given geographical area (gang turf) are ruled and their individual consent (freedom of choice) is not required and in many instances is an impediment to the operation of the system. These kind are coercive and use threats or actual violence to hold power over their subjects. Their purpose is to treat people as subjects, "livestock" if you will to ensure that the maintain control and can reward themselves and others. These kinds of systems include most of the ones used today throughout the world, including and especially the USA.
The second kind is one where a person may voluntarily associate or disassociate without any threats levied against them. That kind is logically the ONLY kind that respects individual freedom.
Have fun. TASTES GREAT!!! LESS FILLING!!! BAA BAA BAA

A system that recognizes 100% total individual freedom cannot protect that freedom.

Kind of. People should be free to run THEIR OWN life, as long as the running of that does not keep others from doing the same. If you care to research the non-aggression principle you would see the distinction. Peace.

What you still fail to realize is that there will always be people who do not care about your distinction.

That's true. Many of them gravitate to politics, where they can do real damage to people's lives.
Also a society without coercive government is not a society that is "lawless".

I'm not sure I think that everyone's vote is equal either. I'm also not sure how any type of system would be devised where the 'voting strength' or how much your vote would be 'worth', could be objectively assigned.
Meh.
Meh.

All kidding aside my vote is for a minimal system that protects property rights.
Upholds and arbitrates the rights of the citizen.
protects the citizen from military invasion.
Operates at surplus from excise tax...no income.
And of course must use lawful money to accomplish...at zero interest.
So yeah american constitutional republic....

My gripe with "theoretical" political systems is ... by what theory? There is only hypothesis in what is called "political science", no theory that accounts for all the facts. I think a better term would be "speculative political system", and I have yet to find one that doesn't have a magical precept in it, such as "set matters right and suddenly people will play nice". Jmo.
