I think all one needs to do in order to assess whether or not you can change the system from within the system is look at modern US politics. We recently came to the brink of financial collapse at the behest of a small faction of uber-conservative tea party republicans. They're a new political contingent of US politics that didn't exist only a few years ago. They voted and now they have major sway within the system. If the Left were as organized as the right they'd get a lot more done. The OWS movement really wasted some opportunities IMO.
