While this is a cynical response, it's kind of true. Many progressive causes are doomed, because almost everything is shockingly heritable. If you try to "break cycles" that actually emerge from acyclic causal networks, at best you will accomplish nothing and at worst you will introduce additional inefficiencies and suffering (more likely). The one thing you can do that won't be harmful is basically funding genetic selection research, e.g. lowering the cost of IVF embryo selection. This is relatively morally palatable (esp. compared to e.g. eugenics) but will actually have the desired effects.
