To be clear, the "doing something" that you inferred (essentially, revolution/insurrection) is not what I was talking about. We need something better, but we need to find a way to get there first - so I think we're in agreement on that. I'm no fan of hasty action, and especially no fan of revolutionaries who would create rivers of blood over hypotheticals. But I do still believe that sitting complacently retaining the current capitalist order creates some pretty severe harm every day, and that it will lead to our collective ruin in the not-too-distant future. Therefore, it's imperative that we look for ways to fix that. Maybe all we ever do (and all we ever can do) is slap patches on the symptoms - but I'd like to think we can aim for better than that, given many of the symptoms are pretty bad and can't be readily patched.
