Huh I'm confused. My position is that change from within the system is essentially impossible, and it is necessary to build structures and communities outside of the reach of the capitalist hegemony in order to bring it down. Thus, not playing into their game.

Numbers don't matter in capitalism, all of the power comes from possession of capital and control over the means of production, which is currently monopolized by a small global oligarchy. Any attempt to infiltrate this system seems to inevitably lead to the infiltrator becoming that which they sought to overthrow, namely an oppressor.
