Saying You're Something You're Not and Denying What You Actually Are

I totally agree, but what is the solution?

There is no THE solution. There are a lot of solutions.

Here are some thoughts of mine;
I am not a slave, I don't need a plan/solution from someone that tells me how I must live, what I may do and not do, who I must give a part of the fruits of my labor to under thread of force. Nobody gets to make plans for me. I don't need a master and I don't need a plan from a master (master plan)

I make my own plans or listen to the plans of somebody else and if that particular plan is better than mine, I co-operate on that plan, but he or she is not my master and can't force me.
Everybody is owner of himself, that means he/she decides what to do with his body, mind, time and energy, money a.k.a. the fruits of their labor
Everybody is his own master and so gets to make his own master plan, the only thing this master can not do is make slaves, or initiate force against others.

It is a lot of responsibility to be the leader of your own live, and a lot of people like being a slave. They think somehow that they can delegate the responsibility of making choices by choosing a new master (voting) who makes choices for them, so they don't have to think, they just have to obey.
But that is not true, you can not give the responsibility to someone else, cause now you're responsible for what that person does in your name. And that much harder if not impossible to control.

I.m.h.o. the best chance we have at making this world a little better is to stop the condoning and the use of violence, stop being slaves and start being the master of our lives, co-operate, and DO what we can to make the world the way we envision it in the future.
But hé, It's just an idea and I'm not your master so maybe you see it differently. The choice is yours, in fact, all choices are yours.
