I find this from Chomsky really helpful when struggling to think how change can come. The how is often hard to articulate but the principles are there and are really what matters.

Well, I suppose I don’t feel that in order to work hard for social change you need to be able to spell out a plan for a future society in any kind of detail. What I feel should drive a person to work for change are certain principles you’d like to see achieved. Now, you may not know in detail-and I don’t think that any of us do know in detail-how those principles can best be realized at this point in complex systems like human societies. But I don’t really see why that should make any difference: what you try to do is advance the principles.
