Great ideas, though.

There is a progression of the development of people. First we are ego-driven, comparing ourselves to everyone else, trying to accumulate the most and be the strongest in outward ways. That is, by the way, a definition of capitalism.

As people mature, they realize the limitations of the physical world, and grow in the ways you mentioned - wisdom. The biographies of accomplished people always has them realizing later in life that friends and family are what's important - the rest is fine, but in many ways just glitter.

Larger political groups tend to resort to the smallest common denominator, and if they are the biggest, they act like children, trying to grab the most, and ignore the humanity of other humans. "Jingoism" is their philosophy, regardless of the economic system.

There is no place for wisdom in that system. Wisdom requires understanding, and it's just easier to stick to a one-point belief system and call the bad guys bad.

Wisdom might say that the bad guys are indeed bad, AND they have a position which should be understood. Not agreed with, not supported or endorsed, but understood.

For instance, someone could say that communism is BAD, period. OR, they could realize that communism, for all it's faults, is a legitimate desire of a state to accommodate the basic needs of all it's citizens.

AND the way it's done may not be the best. And that's beside the point. In theory it is a legitimate attempt to see to the basic needs of all citizens.
In the USSR, for instance, having a job, place to live and medical care was regarded as a civil right. Not bad, huh?

But realizing that is wisdom, and it's easier to just consider them bad guys. Human nature, and that will change for many individuals as they age but not for immature political groups.

And you have a good point. I just wish it were possible.
