I truly belief that systems cant be changed from within the system. The very nature of any system is to mantain stability and the status quo for their rulling classes both political and financial. The ones that should do the voting to change the system would be the first ones affected by it, loosing priviledges and power. So its pretty infantile to hope for them to willingly take action against themselfs.
In democracy they simply play with the comptent of the majority loosing some rope when things get rough and is needed, and strangling them when their calm & sleepy, or worst when they are affraid. Lately Ive come to realize what a powerful weapon fear makes into society.
The true thing is that in the 1st world we live in a class system, call it Democracy/Plutocracy/Partitocracy/Oclocracy or whatever you want, wich leaves the political and financial powers at the privileged side and the rest on the other. Any move you make against any privilege those class have will make them gather together to tumble it down. Didn't you ever heard about how easily the antagonic political parties come to agreement when it comes to privileges for them and their employers?? Like not being able to be prosecuted for many kind of errors and delicts, their lifetime legal/medical coverages,tax exemptions, lack of some civil responsabilities, etc.
I'm conciouss of how privileged I'm comparing to maybe 90% of earths population but I always thought that if things from my point of view are bad and could be a lot better in my country what wouldnt those others feel? It sadens me.
