Am I just supposed to sit there and watch as all sort of injustices are taking place everywhere? What can a person do to make this world slightly better?

We do understand capitalism. How do we dismantle it?
Unions, and we’ve seen a lot of successes these past few years.
I think by redefining its motivation. Instead of currency markets tracking just productivity and output, we also track environmental and social metrics like average lifespan and carbon output. That forces acquisition to be accompanied by responsible ownership.
100 years ago the world moved on from the Gold standard to fiat currency, if we can do that we can also move on from what is more like a Consumption standard to a Caretaker standard.
That’s a matter of some debate… 😆
For my part, I’d say direct action and prefiguration of new institutions are good places to start. We of course need to educate people in various ways - in addition to direct action and prefiguration, which are educational in their own right. I also think we need to engage with art and culture to build consciousness and expand popular imagination of what’s possible.
