Let me put this somewhat simpler then. There are political systems that are realist, in the sense that they do not deny human nature. As such the rules are set by the people for the people, and based on two simple principles. First to ensure as much freedom as possible since free people are generally happy people. Second to ensure safety, even if that entails curbing behaviour that may have a negative effect on others.
Within that framework there are many pragmatic and realist political directions. Liberal, conservative, social-democratic for example.
Then you have political systems that are idealist. That deny human nature. Try to subdue it. Communism is one. Theocracy another, and fascism a third. they all seek utopia defined by a small elite, rather than let people decide for themselves what makes them happy.
