I like your reasoning, Aaron. It sounds the most likely and do-able plan.

Tony, in the long run I am sure you are correct. But I think the solutions
to the crisis we are facing need to be addressed as soon as possible, which
means we need to start the ball rolling within a capitalist system. If we
wait until things are so bad that the system falls apart of its own accord
then we will be inheriting a planet that makes the mess we already have look
like a paradise, and thus our options would be much more constrained. I
think that the capitalist structure is amenable to change, that has been
proven in the past. Elites do what they have to in order to maintain power,
even if that means making life better for others. Of course they also will
take these things back when they perceive the threat to be over. So my hope
is that we can make positive changes in the here and now while also looking
towards the future in which we can change the fundamental power relations in
society.
