People on the fediverse don’t want to hear this, but a complete revolution from the ground up is going to result in a net worse world than a heavily reformed government/society.
We still need to take all this anger and energy to change the system, but a complete revolution away from capitalism is just… not going to happen, unless every country in the world also participates. The beauty of reform is that there are many different levels to it, and we can accomplish almost everything needed with “reforms”. These may seem quite extreme to a midwest moderate housewife (i.e. some average middle class person), but they are necessary to push back against this literal evil world domination scheme being enacted by the technofascists (Musk, Andreeson, Horowitz, Thiel, Vought, Roberts, Miller, Yarvin, etc.).

The world will be fucked for everyone, anyway due to climate change. So let’s see some heads roll.
You can’t reform away from capitalism and even if you could, in order if you reform away the exploitative and unsustainable nature of capitalism then you end up with something that is completely opposed to capitalism.
Capital runs our world, and so capitalists aren’t going to let you take away their power. You’re asking the king that has both the gun and the bullet to please so very nicely give you both of them so that you can use it for good. But they depend on that gun and bullet for power. So you must take it by force as it will not be handed to you.
Revolutions have resulted in net worse societies historically. They are such major high risk high reward actions that there’s a big chance that just another elite will replace the current elite, and be just as bad or worse due to the chaos.
Also you just said it, capital runs the world. How would you have a revolution against the whole world? It’s fun to think about if you’re a college sophomore, but in reality that’s not a feasible, or even good, solution.
We can always try to do better

Edit: I’m not a consequentialist, this system is harmful to humanity from its core and should be destroyed
