And the answer they always come up with is "tear it all down" or "let the government run my life".

we live in a world where some start at the 50 yard line and others at the 100 not because of ability but because of birth and yet they're expected to run the same race
you even that out and you'll find everything changes, there's no longer a society of kings and peasants

Dude you discount so many variables its mindboggling. Even in the most socialized states you will see some communities that are better organized than others, provide more effective education or are just savvier in general. There is no "one" race being run: there are thousands of different races all happening simultaneously where the barometer of what defines "success" and "stability" are different depending on what the cost of living is and what an individual actually wants out of life.
I'm also going to assume you've never seen this.
