You are absolutely right; we need a plan. Here's a plan for removing the rich from power and creating an egalitarian society: https://www.pdrboston.org/how-we-can-remove-the-rich-from-power .

Can we even imagine a different system? Not a reformed system, because that is a pipe dream. The system is not broken so it cannot be fixed. It is working exactly as it was designed. This may be hard to swallow. But imagination is needed to come up the plan you are referring to. We need to imagine a different system and a different way of living. It also means we must look clear eyed at the system we are in and how we are made to depend on it for our very survival.

Marx predicted that capitalism would expand to cover the entire globe. What he could not fully anticipate was that it would expand inward, colonizing the human subconscious, language, and our very survival mechanisms.
