I really don’t think it will be easy. We need to come up with a new economic system not based democratic control rather than exploitation and extraction/theft of surplus value at every step. Then we need to dismantle the old system and implement the new one. All three of these are horribly complicated tasks by themselves.
And they will need to be done while under legal resistance, propaganda resistance, and when push comes to shove, lethal resistance from the powers that be. The exxons and nestles and boeings of the world have done nothing to imply they would go quietly into the night. They will use their agents in government to disrupt any attempts at organized resistance
We’re all stuck here right now, and no individual can really change anything that matters on their own.
But if everyone does a little and helps each other out, all of us added together can make ridiculous amounts of change with very little effort.
Like that whole “think globally, act locally” thing that I only remember from that Pauly Shore movie Biodome.
These aren’t impossible problems to fix, we just need to get enough people to acknowledge we need to fix shit. Once we do that, the rest is easy.
So it feels like impossible tasks, but easier than it looks
