Most of the so called capitalist democracies are actually a soup of pretty much every existing ideology. Maybe both ends of the spectrum would be US being a country born with libertarian ideas and is descending into a socialist society, and then you have China with its communist core but lots of capitalist policies, exceptions, and whatnot.
Being a simple-minded engineer I like to see things in terms of problem & solution space, it helps me understand what exactly the problems are and what could be the various solutions that could address such a problem. I like to think that each ideology has its pros and cons and they might be better than others in different moments or circumstances.
For example, there are many decadent "capitalist democracies" that are broken in various ways, and then you have monarchies and autocracies growing by many of the common human-development indicators.
Bottom line is that I believe there is no guarantees or perfect governance model, in any case I will always choose freedom over control. Fuck the system.
