It is very dangerous to point to a "great existential problem" like this and not point to a practical solution.

In short, such talk is regularly used throughout history to fool idealists into supporting a "just cause" that ends up leading only to more misery.
The problem you mention is real, but unless you have at the very least a practical solution to suggest, and perhaps a path from here to there that has any kind of likelihood to it, it is just fodder for people who would use you to gain more power for themselves. Be wary of how your honest, true beliefs and desire for justice are manipulated by others who just want the regular old kind of power.
