WHEN SYSTEMS FAIL TO PERFORM AS EXPECTED

The ongoing protests by global citizens all over the world against broken promises by systems that are supposed to be the panacea to our human problems. Be it capitalism, democracy, socialism, communism and dictatorship. The common  theme about these systems is that it sets out to address a human problem. So we should not be surprised when people are ready to jump ship when it feels like the ship is sinking. There are people who are receiving a bigger share of the pie and others are receiving very little or nothing at all. When you have this kind of scenario it takes time to have a switch in the system or in some cases there is a bloody defense of the system by elites who have more to loose. I think the world is in a very tough place and it calls for humility on the part of both first world and third world leaders and citizens to recognize the limits of the systems in place. For far too long they have all hailed their ideological views as the solution and as time goes on it turns out to be false. Rather than being ideological champions we should be open minded and engage in practical conversations that makes a difference and avoid recommending a single pill as the solution to the problem.
