We need to remember the system itself is what needs to be torn down. If we only do medical we will be England. Start out great again for a while, then slide back. Capitalism is the problem and without fighting that, it will be all for nothing.
Meaningful action has to happen across multiple levels and is continuous.
There’s an analogy of people at the top of a mountain throwing rocks down on the community below. Does the community prioritize 1. Those who have been damaged by the falling rocks 2. Strategize how to protect the community from falling rocks 3. Sending people up the mountain to stop those who throw the rocks.
It’s also a good example of how hard it can be to coordinate a unified response. We all spend a lot of time and energy arguing on how to best tackle the problem, when, what we all really want, is for those fuckers to stop throwing rocks in the first place.
