>I conduct many actions a day which do not make me complicit in the status quo. This is very true, but there's also an argument to be made that our everyday life and almost all the actions we take count as 'reproduction' of the system - whether that's reproduction of religion, the economy, the state, or whatever else. Althusser picked up on this a while back. Not only does the economy need to reproduce itself using inputs from other production processes, but everyday life and society needs to reproduce itself too. This happens at the most basic level with the accumulation of thousands of small decisions, combined with particular ideologies (e.g. the religious person sees a particular action as rational or irrational in accordance with their ideology; the economic actor sees an action as rational or irrational on the ideology of the market; the state sees a certain action as rational or irrational on the ideology of control and parameters set by budget). That's not to say reproduction is bad, or individually morally blameworthy in most circumstances - but it is there. When you work, you reproduce the economy. When you sing in church, you reproduce religion. When you pay taxes or vote, you reproduce the state. When you send your kids to school you reproduce the education system. There is very little room to be 'revolutionary' about these things, and that's a shame.
