A man who dares waste one hour of his life has not discovered the value of life ~ Charles Darwin

The only freedom that is of enduring importance is the freedom of intelligence, that is to say, freedom of observation and of judgment.

Protest alone is unlikely to be sufficient when the political system, although ostensibly democratic, has been co-opted by the rich and the powerful. It is implausible to expect such a system to deliver, for instance, necessary banking reform, when banking CEOs enjoy far greater access to the political system than ordinary voters. Just read the newspapers.
Instead, a new system needs to be created

Do not let others tell you what to care about.
This can only be a leaderless revolution, if it is to succeed. Make up your own mind. Examine your own reactions. This is difficult in the banality yet ubiquity of contemporary culture, with its cacophony of voices and opinion.
Space for contemplation is all too rare. But here’s one suggestion which is doubtless revealing of my own dyspeptic disposition: What makes you angry? What never fails to irritate you for its stupidity and injustice?
That may be thing you should take up arms against. It was for me, and anger puts fuel in the tank.

The state is not something which can be destroyed by a revolution, but
is a condition, a certain relationship between human beings, a mode of
human behavior; we destroy it by contracting other relationships, by
behaving differently.

The less people have agency-control- over their own affairs, and the less command they feel over their futures and their circumstances, the more inclined they are to take to the streets. The best way, indeed, to invite violent anarchy is to reduce the agency and sense of control that people need to feel over their lives.
Our way of doing politics, indeed our way of thinking about politics, needs to change, from passivity to action: reclaiming agency.

The political space is more and more occupied not by citizens, but by big
business and the wealthy!

The polarization of political views, the intercession of business, lobbyists and interest groups between voters and their representatives, the
growing number and power of political actors who are neither politicians nor conventional political parties, nor accountable to anyone but themselves yet nonetheless wield considerable influence together, these factors suggest a deepening divide between the public and their nominal
representatives. They suggest nothing less than a crisis in democracy.

...new cohort of politicians offers to fix this malaise, but they are less and less believed including, one suspects, by themselves (for they too can sense the mounting unease). Indeed, the political class now appears more part of the problem than the solution. Even politicians now complain about “politicians.”

Before complaining that you're a slave to another, be sure that you're not a slave to self. Look within; you'll find there, perchance, slavish thoughts, slavish desires, and in your daily life and conduct slavish habits. Conquer these; cease to be slave to self, and no man will have the power to enslave you!
Allen

Other people are only as powerful as you allow them to be in your world.

Shrink the thoughts you give them, and you will literally shrink their role in your life.
