So, do you suggest a system corrupt, wasteful and bureaucratic is better
than one less corrupt, less wasteful and less bureaucratic and we must
settle with it.

Whenever do someone suggested this?
The difference is that in a libertarian system, the evolution of the
services offered is faster, more consumer driven, less wasteful, less
bureaucratic, less corrupt.

On the other hand you detach from the real world completely and have
government systems that are more efficient than private enterprises,
more equitable, more "fair" (like in "fairy tales"). They never oppress
the weak and always curb the powerful (but usually the opposite happen).
