If we in the west want a different approach, how would voting express that? It's impossible to change our neoliberal and social democratic system via voting.

Get people to agree with you. Petition your representatives. Protest. There are plenty of options, but you don't get change just because you believe you are right, and sometimes you have to compromise.

You forgot the final step: have your movement destroyed and/or silenced if it inconveniences the ruling class in the slightest. As history has shown us time and time again.

You're free to vote for change within a social democratic framework (which makes very little difference anyways), but you can't change that framework.
