You need numbers to forge any new political direction, especially if you are talking revolutionary change. The obvious flaw in such reasoning as you've expressed here is that there is NOTHING in place outside of that political system which has ANY means of delivering on the very things you say you stand for.
Moreover, you're merely trying to influence the same political system as everyone else, albeit, promising some benefit from a type of anarchical posture against the 'system.' As inefficient, sometimes counterproductive, often idle, and sometimes threatening as our political system is, it is still the ONLY mechanism in place to even begin to deliver on the things folks say they want.
I think it's fine and admirable to push for an alternative, while railing against the present system. But, you can't then, credibly compare your NOTHING as a superior alternative against that political system. Show me the path to the jobs folks say they want. Not a winding, generations-long struggle to regain our footing after we've relinquished ourselves to the opposition (who manage to get what they want out of the government they say they, too, despise). Show me how your rebellion produces health care. Not in a couple of presidential election cycles.
Show me how you produce things like lifting the ban on pre-existing conditions. Show me how you manage to rescue the jobs of millions of folks in the auto industry with a political dream that you have shown little to none of the numbers of supporters willing to abandon the present system and sign on to your new and more enlightened one.
You've got a hand full of nothing more than a wish and a prayer and you still have the temerity to denigrate the folks who've managed to coalesce and work to actually reconcile the myriad of disparate and diverse interests, ideals, and concerns which are represented in our political system.
Railing from the outside is interminably righteous. It's much harder to work to forge the necessary coalitions of support to actually advance our ideals into action or law.
