A simple change of mind among enough people and quietly the job of "stopping
it" could be done (I can hear you muttering "Pollyanna", and a number of
less kind epithets.) That's the way the Industrial Revolution functioned,
which had no leader and no single political nor single economic system in
its beginnings; yet it changed attitudes around the world (relax Julien et
al, I'm not advocating that kind of program, just showing an example of
another way it happened, once upon a time.)

Yes. The past is in the present, in a way, with difference and
similarities. The recent demonstrations for social change at the Republican
presidential nomination convention and the upcoming demonstrations at the
Democratic presidential nomination convention are steps in a sea change of
attitudinal opposition. One terrain of struggle is the battle for the
public mind, the consent of the ruled for/against the policies of the
rulers. In the US, that would be the people (broadly defined) versus the
corporate Democrats and Republicans, subsidiaries of corporate America, Wall
Street and the superrich. Have I got it right?
