I am afraid Nababo that the problem of taking a side will be a nutter. So difficult to break that drives you nuts. Naom Chomsky has described it perfectly when he said that the media ( and the people that control them) have the power to present people either as freedom fighters or terrorists. And since the world is so big that you can not possibly know the truth first hand, although we generally are under the impression that it is small and we have an opinion about everything-held tight as true, we are the easy victims of misinformation.
But still, I think the solution can not be found in the political structures of the countries that we call democratic. And since most people can't find a solution, but abhor violence, we receive a constant negative. This is a pseudo dilemma really. The solution is right in front of our eyes. It will cost us in short term, but will get us out of such economic crisis once and for all. The solution is actually slowing down and taking steps back from the technological and consumerism "culture" that has become a golden calf the last 30-60 years. We have to put ecology first, and solve with bold moves the social problems of housing, food, health, education and communication. These are things that every citizen of the world should have, for free. Political parties are in fact a part of the problem, because their viewpoint of the world starts within the problem. Ukraine for instance was called the wheat field of Europe, yet people there do not have bread on their table. I think that sometimes, starting with a big loud NO, is more meaningful than saying yes, because it reveals a change in conscience of the people. And this has a cost, because the people that control the money will just fight back, withholding of currency, imbalance the trade-markets and creating shortages of necessities. It is crazy if you think about it, but how most countries of the world have lost their sovereignty by owing billions... Countries that if they were run correctly they would be self reliant, like big corporations that take care of their workers.
