From a revolutinoary perspective the upper class will never give their power up for moral reasons. From an individual or community perspective there are plenty of people who would be happy to give up their place in their hierarchy or have less stuff materially to live in a better world. I think one of the issues that I have with materialism is that we now live in a post scarcity society. The only scarcity that exists is artificially enforced. If it weren't for capitalism we could be living in a society where everyone has enough stuff to be happy, enough economic security to not be sad, and economies not based on extraction. Lots of people from well off backrounds, myself included just wanna grill
