I'm kinda at (3) but want to do (1) because the alienation and inhumanity of the system are killing me and I'm too much of a coward to do (2)

One could maybe do # 3 in a socialist country like China (ie do #1) - the selection pressures of socialism would force the output of these roles towards an overall good?

Too many folks think #2 is just organising to protest in the hope of convincing bourgois lawmakers. It is actually the process of creating the organs of a socialist state including housing, food production, education, healthcare and the means to defend it all.

I forgot to add if you want to do number 2 then develop that bravery.

I do not have meaningful advice on how to do that here (I too am learning) other than to understand how others before have been successful and then to learn the lessons where they appear and to apply it your material reality.

You will need to be hungry for power, the discipline to seize it and channel it through a dialectical material lens. This is what it means to give democracy to the proleteriat and the various subjugated classes at large, and then to defend it. You have to strive for a vanguard and democratic centralism for the sake of saving the world while the wolves are at your feet. A tall order but clearly not impossible.
