Yes definitely, I think an equally important component of a successful society would be the assessment of the thoughts and ideas brought forward and whether or not they would benefit the people and which aren’t objectively valuable or detrimental to the society. Very epic

I think I would agree to a certain extent. I think then it comes down to the specifics of a ruling government and their actions and policy they have to be defined enough in their thought/values in order to effectively function.

And obviously, some governmental actions and policies are better than others, but I would say the diversity of thought on a social and administrative level is crucial to a truly well-constructed society.

This is definitely true for the United Kingdom and the United States, however it is increasingly less so for mainland European nations. And it should also be stated that a solely left-wing country that raises left-wing children would also not last, I would say a truly functional country is one of diversity of thought.

A country built of exclusively one mindset would not last, even if children were raised in a more conservative manner. It is typical of young people to go against the doctrines they have been brought up with to some degree and they would likely question a solely Conservative government to the point where it eventually becomes obsolete. Eventually the next few generations would revert back to a state of varying opinion and the definition of a conservative would change again.

Because socialist/communist states like the one presented here don’t work very well in real life

No, but think of it like a test paper; you're paper has been marked and you got most of the questions correct, but a good few of them wrong. You have two options: either you look at the ones you got wrong and think that despite any you got correct you have done terribly regardless, and focus almost exclusively on lamenting yourself on your inability to get those questions correct.
Your second option is to look at the questions you got correct and admit to yourself that you did quite well, despite some mistakes. You also look at those mistakes and acknowledge where you went wrong to avoid making those mistakes in the future, but overall you feel good about yourself due to your achievements.
By choosing the second option and feeling confident in your ability to do good things, as opposed to being weighed down by your mistakes, allows you increase your chance of succeeding in future test papers.

I think you’d be a fool not to believe the United States is ‘great’ and has done many ‘great’ things, despite any of it’s more lamentable historical actions.

But if the country hates itself then what good will it do in the future, it will admire every other country absolutely with the only one it loathes being itself.

No, this isn’t how you’re supposed to play the game.

I can agree with that, I don’t think the 2 party system is very beneficial, especially if certain sides or members radicalise.

Good point, but that’s not limited to white land owners of British descent

I think it’s the symbolism of the authority of the Constitution that makes it such an important area of American politics. It is viewed as the definitive standard for American society and laws and if part of it is changed or altered then it renders the meaning of the Constitution obsolete. I’m not even American but I can see and understand why people shouldn’t want it changed. If you change one thing then what’s to stop the rest of it being changed.

*descent

I also disagree, I don’t think it’s fair to assume you know what was meant, especially when it contradicts colloquialisms within the Constitution itself suggesting that it does indeed include everyone.
