I think our inability as yet to recognize, never mind control, psycho/sociopaths in our cultures (all of them) is our biggest political problem, more than the structure of our political systems. This failure has resulted, for example, in the iron law of oligarchy, which infects everything from capitalism to communism. It's why totalitarians rose to the top, everywhere, in the supposedly democratic West.
As I espouse regularly, government is a focus of power people, who are by nature, evil. Power people do not give a damn about people and their needs. Government, by its nature, works against its people and for its preservation.

Excellent point! It's these kind of people who always end up in government. This is why I love reading the commentariat here at Kunstler.
