Denying reality is what allows it to continue, but the root of the problem is the structure of power in the world. The goal of libertarian communism is to decentralize power as much as is feasible and give people a say in their own lives.
So getting people to face reality is a key part of making the necessary changes. This is why all revolutionary ideologies include education as one of the first steps. So yes, if you cannot educate then you cannot make changes which require voluntary collective agreement. But I don't think it's impossible to educate. The real problem is that counter-revolutionary forces have a lot of money and power to "educate" in their own way, and manipulate us in to accepting unjust systems.
In its simplest form, anarchism is a process of questioning existing power structures. And some are legitimate and can be justified. But those that have no legitimate purpose must be dismantled. Libertarian communism is a method of organization that aims to build a foundation for an economy without massive power imbalances.
Really, I'd encourage you to look at the playlist I linked in my above comment, and let me know what you think.
