As to the next system, I think one model that could be viable is the intersection between Bookchinian socio-political structures, such as the confederation of localized democratic assemblies, with the developing dynamic of Transitional Mixed Economics.
Resistance - stop TPP, TTIP, etc., prevent the trillion dollar nuke weapon upgrade,, US imperialism, corporate control, ALEC, etc.. Resilience - work for the solidarity economy, the next system.
Senator Mike Lee talks about the "Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing Rule" and as far as the system being broke and fixing it, he talks about less money being spent on government regulations as well. He puts out some great videos!
The people of our planet are desperately ignorant of the history of how societies form and how the socio-political arrangements and institutions established evolve over time. With settlement in one location, what members of the early tribal societies needed to agree upon was the basis for allocation access to what nature provided. These decisions may have been made initially on the basis of the common good of all. However, over time every society fell into hierarchical structures. Warrior subgroups tended to elevate oppressive leaders. Aristocracies and monarchies arose to dominate those who were charged with producing most of what everyone needed to survive. The knowledge bearers evolved into interpreters of the mysteries of nature; they became priests self-selected to communicate with the gods. Moreover, with settlement nature eventually came to be claimed as the property of individuals. Rights of property in nature became the cornerstone of hierarchical systems of law and government. The majority in every society have always been dominated by rentier elites. For much of history the economic arrangements were based on agrarian landlordism. In many countries today, the majority of farmer workers lease land from the landed. Other are sharecroppers. Not even the introduction of republican forms of government, the election of public officials by an ever-widening segment of the population, and apparent democratic processes ever threatened the power of landlordism to orchestrate a redistribution of wealth. The form of landlordism changed with the introduction of new technologies and financial institutions, but the dominant position of landed interests to claim what others produced continues to expand. The Next System must address this historical injustice. The only way to do so peacefully is by requiring all who control any portion of the planet to compensate society by the payment of the full potential annual rental value of whatever land (and land-like assets, such as the broadcast spectrum) is held.

I love systems theory, thank you. "pre-history" is a great concept.
