System as a suicide factory

Can you move out of an inflation-prone monetary system? That is simply impossible if you want to keep using currency issued by national governments. This is simply a financial suicide. You would be locked out of any transaction business. Either, you would be thrown out of the current system or you would have to develop a new currency for new system of exchange. 
Can you move out of an education system where degree is the only parameter of one’s educational achievements? If this system rampantly indulges in grade inflation and refuses to correct itself, can you move out of this system? This is simply a professional suicide. You would be locked out of any job opportunity. Either, you would be thrown out of any employment or you would have to develop your own entrepreneurship. 
Can you move out of a political regime where election maths would decide who would rule. This is a system where the entire power is in the hands of the few people sitting in the parliament that cannot change the status quo of traffic jams in your city, garbage dumps in your locality, pollution level of your air and water and so on. This is a system where you need good Mayors and good Sarpanches than good ministers but you get none. Can we shift local politics into our own hands by protest? This would be a political suicide. You would be locked out as an anarchist. Either, you would leave the country or you have to become another political party.
When the system itself goes survivalist, the individual has only one solution- suicide; either a slow one or the instant one. If you want to avoid this, the only option is to change the rules of game. Either get busy dying or get busy living.
