MADRID — Hundreds of thousands of disillusioned Indians cheer a rural activist on a hunger strike. Israel reels before the largest street demonstrations in its history. Enraged young people in Spain and Greece take over public squares across their countries.

Their complaints range from corruption to lack of affordable housing and joblessness, common grievances the world over. But from South Asia to the heartland of Europe and now even to Wall Street, these protesters share something else: wariness, even contempt, toward traditional politicians and the democratic political process they preside over.

They are taking to the streets, in part, because they have little faith in the ballot box.

Economics have been one driving force, with growing income inequality, high unemployment and recession-driven cuts in social spending breeding widespread malaise. Alienation runs especially deep in Europe, with boycotts and strikes that, in London and Athens, erupted into violence.

But even in India and Israel, where growth remains robust, protesters say they so distrust their country’s political class and its pandering to established interest groups that they feel only an assault on the system itself can bring about real change.

“We’re the first generation to say that voting is worthless.”

Read my tagline.

Government should go away. Cooperatives, mutual aid societies, charities, and businesses can do a much better job in creating a good society than can power hungry politicians and lazy government bureaucrats.

You leftists took a wrong turn 150 years ago. You should have listened to Mikhail Bakunin instead of Karl Marx. Had you done that, we wouldn't have these all powerful governments that are destroying the world.

Yeah,and it should snow ice cream.

Cooperatives, mutual aid societies, charities, and businesses ....

Are all forms of government.

Like it or not,government is a necessary evil. Without government you can own nothing you can't carry on you,and your children can never safely leave your compound.

Any argument to get rid of all government is foolish. The focus should be on creating an efficient government that understands they are the servants of the people instead of the masters.

And this does NOT mean some damnfool democracy. Democracy is nothing but mob rule.
