I think the problem is that, under any system, humans are the flaw. They all look good on paper, but in practice history has proven that it is only a matter of time before a certain group of people figure out how to take more resources than they deserve.
I agree that freedom has an illusory aspect, but it is also tangible. We have many freedoms that the average chinese person doesn't.
I don't really see how a move towards authoritarianism would have any positive effect on the quality of the average american's life.
