    So how could society take matters in their hand and change everything?

    As long as people have conflicting goals they will fight each other instead of building society together.

      Everything we do marches us forward on the path to extinction due to climate change. If that isn’t a conflicting goal I don’t know what is.

      Rebuilding community is the first step. Capitalism is on its usual decay path to fascism, an ideology based on us fearing each other more than the state. Challenging that notion is the first step to getting heads to roll.

        The proletarians fight among themselves. Unifying them with the middle class doesn’t help much.

        Revolution without a goal will not change much.
