Systems are a convenient apologia. Slave trade preceded colonialism. Poverty predates capitalism. Nature, in its undiluted state, is already divisive. Systems are not to fault for man's tribulations. We fault systems because they are inanimate & taciturn.

Since systems cannot defend themselves, we are saved the indignities of having to point fingers at the actual Baba Yagas. We blast the systems, not to obliterate it but to command audience with its patrons. Until we are invited into the feast. Then we go quiet.

In any other system, man would be just as corrupt. In fact, man is congenitally corrupt. All - and any systems - are only meant to mollify this corruption. And in the design of natural selection, only that system which realizes utilitarianism survives. It would explain capitalism

This brings us to the question; "is all hopeless?". Presently, yes. Because the best that can be done can only be done sustainably at the individual level. Collectivism (systems) remains a popular pastime but if history is anything to go by - then we are running a loop.

A frog in a river remains a frog in the desert. Systems don't make man, man makes systems. So if a system is broken, man is to blame. Because man owns thought & emotion. It is he that can be regulated. To get rid of a system, you have to get rid of such men.

The exsanguination of such men must be gradual. Through an appeal to man's better nature & knowledge. Cataclysmic revolution is but a baton exchange. Power changes hands, but the minds remain vacuous. Youthful men, with old minds: Denser than dark clouds. Like herding cats.

I mean: Stop lamenting or trying to change the systems. Change you & your immediate community. If everybody did this, the world would sustainably & gradually change. Everybody is trying to change the world, without having to change themselves. Ostrich syndrome world.

Changing you begins with changing your mind. Reading/learning without the cloud of indignation. Then share this knowledge with your son & so forth, in the easiest way possible. To work as arduously on the mind, as we work on the muscles. For without a changed mind, all is in vain
