Am I just supposed to sit there and watch as all sort of injustices are taking place everywhere? What can a person do to make this world slightly better?

We do understand capitalism. How do we dismantle it?

That's a matter of some debate... ๐Ÿ˜†

For my part, I'd say direct action and prefiguration of new institutions are good places to start. We of course need to educate people in various ways - in addition to direct action and prefiguration, which are educational in their own right. I also think we need to engage with art and culture to build consciousness and expand popular imagination of what's possible.

Add mutual aid and Iโ€™m in.

I was thinking that would come under 'prefiguration of new institutions' (although actually it permeates all aspects), but you are right to name it explicitly, comrade ๐Ÿ–ค
