It's called building dual power, and many of us are actually doing things every day to further that goal.

The best chance we'd prob have right now to take on capitalism is someone with a popular agenda that is good at acting, but once elected as President they basically say... Ha, now I'm immune & will use my platform to try to get rid of capitalism [...] Or [cause] a complete collapse of the system.

Is this sarcastic? Because that's literally what we're witnessing. We may have a chance at building a better world with better systems very soon.
