So you want to get your system operating without changing my (the current) system?  How do you believe you can accomplish change in the current system?
Other than by complete overthrow I submit that cannot happen.

Take a stab at answering Nemo's question...If you dare.  :o
1st: my "system" already exists and operates, it's called the market. It is however highly repressed by State/Government through taxation, regulation and even by picking winners and losers in the private sector. Effectively creating monopolies.

2nd: your "system" (State) can only subsist by maintaining the popular perception of legitimacy. Back in the day this was through religion, "enemy at the gates", Class & Caste systems (still widely used in India.), Now it's become popular elections. (The whole premise of that Snowpiercer movie)

The American revolutionary leaders didn't conjure up freedom magically by having an election. It was done by legitimizing the British crown (Thomas Pain's Common Sense) then ousting a foreign occupier. The State apparatus they ended up creating came to be the most stable and legitimate in the eyes of the citizens the world had ever seen. it also allowed for capital formation through private enterprise which it was then able to tax away, again growing the State.

Now to the answer. summarized: "How do I plan on revolting against the system?" By living free, and unashamed. I vote with my money, I hold no debt, financially or emotionally. I interpret the world around me through reason and objective analysis.
Instead of voting for the guy who aims to put the nicest looking leash around my neck then bragging about how much more free it makes me then that old leach.

The only way you can get incremental change is by participation.
That's the illusion.
