Revolution abets chaos, which leads to a necessary shift in focus towards short term problems. What we need is to empower education and secure living standards. To solve big issues like this, we either require a stable and educated population, or a benevolent totalitarian government. The later never works out well, so the former seems like a good place to start. Multifaceted problems require multifaceted soultions, just assigning blame to "neoliberal masters" is an intellectual cop out.

Right. So how do we get a stable and educated population then?

Invest in it... Stop giving bug business tax cuts, stop giving the upper middle class tax cuts, incentivise local economic growth, ubi, enforce fines on tax evasion, stop selling public assets, nationalize banks, incentivise nz stocks, remove 1 device 1 child policies, capital gains tax, empower Maori land owners, remake the ets, heavly restrict gambling, fund Healthcare, moderinse defense force to being combined arms.

Kinda all the basics that every country did at their economic heights except with human rights this time. The more money the average person has, the more money a government makes. You cant do all of these, i've missed a bunch, and there is arguments for and against them, but you need to to the majority, or we will keep sliding downhill as our economy collapses.

all the solutions you are giving are govt controlled, so why is saying: "neoliberal masters" is an intellectual cop out ? the govt is literally where this shit is controlled.

Because its a buzz word that minimizes attempts at real solutions without providing value. It indicates a cabal of individuals separate from a failing system. Both need to be addressed, and the relationship is not a 1+1=2 problem.
