The sad thing is that I doubt that the leaders of the North Atlantic sphere are ready to du as you would like. They are full of hubris after 400 years of success, and they wouldn't believe that the world has changed until they do it the hard way.

What might, just might possibly do it is if they meet increasing opposition from within. But also, and sadly, this fails to materialize. The main theme of angry opposition seems to be "all is the foreigners' fault", not, as it should be, "all is the fault of our stupid leaders, political and economical".

The last two times we had this kind of systemic chaos there were popular challengers with a reasonable programme, focusing not least inequality and inefficiencies. And thay did also mass-mobilize. They were not content sitting at a facebook account chatting with their friends.
