I honestly dont know what you think might be a better system or how you think you can make things better by working outside the system.

I think there will be attempts, when the economic pain that is is the process of planting itself, really gets going....like this, by Upton Sinclair, in 1934,

....to go around the system, within the framework of political organizing and the voting process,
but, I don't think it will even be tolerated to the level that Sinclair attempted, if the events of this weekend are an indicator;
Federal government involved in raids on protesters - Glenn Greenwald - Salon.com
....I think the folks in charge of the emerging police state will provoke the spilling of blood which, once it begins to flow in earnest, won't be easy to end, as the atrocities accumulate, but.... maybe the people will just sit there and take it, no matter the height of the level of corruption, oppression, and injustice.
