2.1 All power structures can be escaped or overthrown, no matter how daunting the task may seem

We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable — but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings.
- Ursula K. Le Guin

The task of overthrowing capitalism might seem impossible given it's reach and power. But Ursula Le Guin reminds us that all power structures can be overthrown, no matter how powerful.

The divine right of kings is one example of this; most countries that we're once ruled by monarchs as the representative of God now have some form of democracy, which shows it can be done.
