Unfortunately the existance of a perfect society will never be, for it is prone to human vices such as selfishness, greed, dishonesty, and hypocrisy. Society does not exist for the whole but for the part, each part has some idea of what they desire (Which is most likely driven in them subconsiously or consiouly by society and furthered by selfishness and ignorance) and will follow that path, whether or not it strays them from what is good for the people as a whole. I'd like to believe communist, socialist, or other simular systems work because they are there to help all equally (as all humans are of equal worth and deserve equal treatment) however even the creators of these societies might have slant or ulterior motives, or the people within them are unable to live outside their self in order to preserve it (from the Tao Te Ching)
I'll think more about this and get back to you. But if people were ideal then there could be an ideal society. But since perfection is subjective, what even is an "ideal" society? I for one don't think a Capatilist economy is the way to go. But thats not the idea for all
