A decisive contribution rather than reforms

The term “reforms” insinuates that there is a regime that was put in place to serve the general interest, that was able, at certain times, to prove its capability of achieving its purpose, thus demonstrating its success. Today, this regime is no longer capable of successfully performing its duty, which makes it unable to achieve the goals for which it was created.

Many have suggested reforming the regime to treat the causes that led to its failure, so that it can replicate former successes. But the truth is, that today’s regime of sectarian leaders’ coalition was never ever able, in any past experience, to secure the public’s interest, due to a structural and operational flaw in the way this system was built. It was never a people or mismanagement issue, but an issue with the system, that cannot operate otherwise. Therefore, any illusionary success, that some thought was achieved, was fake, and people settled with it to bring a 15-year civil war to an end, fearing it to resume. People were bribed with undue benefits and a luxury lifestyle.

That is exactly why we are not looking to reform the current system, because we deem it irreparable and unreformable. We should however cease the opportunity of this system’s collapse to change it for the better. Hence the necessity of a decisive contribution to an alternative which will impose a transfer of power that will build a just, democratic and civil state capable of protecting the entire society by securing public interest.

In brief, effective reform does not lie in changing the players or patching gaps, but rather in a fundamental change of the rules of the game touching the very structure of the system.
