Even If we ignore the actual achievements of different societies claiming they implement "ism" of one kind or another, any "ism" from XIX century regarding human behavior at scale is naive. If the theory of phlogiston went bust, it doesn't mean physics shouldn't be worked on. Even today, soft sciences are laughable.

In my observations of the world and history, the only 'ism' that works for the people, is where the real power is concentrated in the hands of as many people as possible.

As long as we create structures that concentrate power in the hands of the few, policies change and resources flow into those circles.

> concentrated in the hands of as many people as possible

Isn't that the opposite of "concentrated"?

You are correct! The right word would be "distributed"
