Some interesting info despite the murky presentation.
One thing we keep noticing is the constant allusions to forcing people's own will on others whereas a genuine believer's aim is always to enforce the will of Allah on earth according to Allah's guidance.
May Allah guide us all to His way so that we can live in peace and harmony in this world and achieve paradise after we inevitably return our souls.

Also interesting to note that we often hear 'Baghdadi, self appointed Amir, Illegitimate State...but how?...was his predecessor not Umar al Baghdadi? That would imply that there was an Amir before him isnt? That would further validate him being chosen as a successor, yes? So how is he self appointed?

If your neighbor declare himself as the ruler of his home, it's legitimate because he occupy the area of his home. But how if your neighbor declare himself as the ruler of your home too?. Would you legitimate him?.
If Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi declared himself only as the ruler of area that occupied by him, it might be legitimate. But the problem is, he declared himself as the ruler of global Muslims ummah although those global Muslims ummah are not living in his occupied territory. Yeah, how could someone who just rule a piece of land in Iraq and Syria declare himself as ruler of Muslims who live in Saudi, in Kuwait, in Morocco, etc?. Aren't those other Muslims have their own rulers too?.
Of course other Muslims refuse to accept him as their ruler. But the reaction from Al Baghdadi group was very surprising, they declare Muslims who do not accept him as ruler, as kuffar. So the conflict began.

So you await Imam Mahdi?
Let not Believers take disbelievers as allies rather than Believers #Quran 3:28
I don't know when will Imam Mahdi come, and I don't know will I am still alive when he come?. So I focus to situation that are happening at the moment like poverty among Muslims.

Wouldn't that require a just Islamic governance system which implements zakah and abolishes usury, and is not having to spend it's manpower, resources and efforts on continuous war and rebuilding efforts after kafir bombing campaigns which keep the kafir usurer owned military industrial complex running on it's fuel of blood and diesel?

Why should we wait government to obligate zakat if we can pay zakat without government obligate it?. Zakat is not an issue between us and government, but between us and Allah. Then if government does not abolish usury?. We can use our money to give loan without usury to those who need it.
We don't need to depend on government to do something that we must, and we can do.

The refraining from usury is definitely a duty upon the people and it is definitely a duty upon the government to enforce it.
Maybe read surah Al Baqarah and quote based upon truth rather than just making stuff up.
It is haram and a breach of trust (khiyaanatulamaanah) that a government co-ordinates with usurious money lenders to exploit the citizens and refuses to establish the rule of Allah, which amongst other obligations, includes collecting and distributing zakah efficiently and fairly.
When you say "we" do you mean collective or individual?
It is indeed the collective which works to form governing administration whether that be the local area commitee (that has rubbish collected, night-watchguards (while the cops are busy stopping cars for bribes and chasing Muslims), local lighting and paying of bribes to city corporation or central government when they need a tender passed or transformer repaired), city corp, or central gov corp.
Or do you think zakah is like charity where you just individually distribute it as you like?
Why don't you give those taxes that exceed zakah by volumes (while even then the corrupt governments enslave the people in more imf usury based debt) directly to the poor?
For Him (alone) is call in Truth: any others that they call upon besides Him hear them no more than if they were to stretch forth their hands for water to reach their mouths but it reaches them not: for the call of those who ungratefully deny/cover (the truth) is nothing but (futile) straying.
Quran 13:14
Helping the poor is responsibility of people who are able to help, and also responsibility of government.
Government indeed, have duty to build prosperity. But government also have limit of capability. So, people have to contribute in building the prosperity, and cannot throw the responsibility only to government.
So why then did Abu Bakr (ra) go to war with people that didnt want to pay zakaah anymore???
Muslims government may punish people who refuse pay zakah, may order people to pay zakah, and may manage zakah distribution. But it doesn't mean if government do not order people to pay zakah and do not manage zakah distribution, then people cannot, or do not need to pay zakah.
Zakah is a matter between ummah and Allah. Whether government manage it or not, ummah must still pay zakah. Different than tax. If government do not ask people to pay tax, people do not need to pay tax.
Should people pay zakah through government?. It's depend on people themselves because zakah can be given directly, and can be given through the third party.

Lets we see the reality. Government in many Muslim countries still maintain riba based banking system although ulama have reminded them. Then what we can do to prevent people who need loan fall into riba?. We give them loan that free from riba. We can give loan in personal level, or build baitul mal wa tanwil institution, or build sharia bank.
Can zakah be given individual?. Yes. Zakah is obligated donation can be given directly from the giver to the receiver in individual level, but also can be given through the third party. It this matter, Muslim government can manage zakah, but also can let people to manage zakah by themselves. If government decide to not manage zakah, we don't need to urge government to manage zakah because we can manage zakah by ourselves.
Indeed, in every Muslim country government establish zakah institution. But if you notice, those institution are autonomous and independent which central government do not intervene the distribution.

Who are "We"?. Me, you, and other Muslims.
The answers you provided above is based on a totally unlawful premise, and the post you made above that.
You claimed that even if the governments don't do their duties prescribed by Allah, the people should.
I'll again remind you that a government is set up by people - not martians - in order to establish justice, fair dealings, and communal duties as prescribed by Allah. If a government doesn't establish the duties prescribed upon it by Allah, then it is not a valid government, rather an unlawful criminal enterprise and needs to be replaced with a government which rules by Quran and Sunnah with sincerity and honesty.
No point saying that there's no food available and that we must all eat pig, when lawful food can be made available.
When a government is ruling with injustice (anything against Quran) and the people are having to leave their private duties and fulfil the duties of government, the government is diseased and should be seen as such.
Your justifications for claiming it to be normal s possibly due to the fact that you have been living under injustice for so many decades and have become desinsitized, even some of your 'ulama are forgetting to mention the fact that zakah is a communal duty when they compile pamphlets for you telling you how to distribute it.
