That's right. I think the insistence by many ideologues that there's a very simple way out, and if the world just adopted that thing, all of these problems would fade away, as vestiges of a tired, corrupt system, where an elite manufacturer these problems that otherwise wouldn't exist.
Sometimes things like that are true. They're certainly true in many respects with regards to human rights and flourishing in autocratic regimes. They're also true to a lesser extent with examples of political-economic capture in liberal democracies. But this is all besides the point.
Whenever people think about "the system" as an obstacle, the important implication is that system is a obstacle to a thing. What is that thing? Often, the assumption is that thing is a state of nature of organic human flourishing that would happen absent these imposed constraints. But that's a implicit statement about the shape of the state of nature that has no empirical grounding whatsoever. Which I think, generally makes it fair to characterize such belief systems as utopian and/or fanatical.
