This is sound and realistic advice. Certain kinds of change are possible within the system, but perhaps some useful changes are not? Is there a middle ground that would allow for experimentation without the hazards of revolution?
- danjac 6y agoAs I'm guessing you are American: The US constitution itself is very resistant to change. It's doable, but very difficult in an era of deep polarization and partisanship. For example, many think the electoral college is undemocratic and outdated, but there is a vested interest by both parties in keeping it in place. That said, the "middle ground" is probably the states. For example, Oregon I believe just decriminalized all forms of recreational drug use. Who knows how that will turn out, but it's a social experiment that would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Another example - think of the communes in the 1960s or the Israeli kibbutzim or other experimental communities throughout history. Maybe try out your ideas on a small scale with a small group of people and see what works.
