My stance on radicalism has always been: if you burn it all down, how do you know you'll build it up better. How do you know you're less evil than the people who built this system? You can't. You're not smart enough. You're not good enough. You're human.

Which is not to say I don't believe in revolution of a kind, I guess. It's to say that I think burning it all down is as likely to lead to another disaster as it is to lead to paradise.

And if you think, "disaster but with the marginalized or some subset thereof on top" is ethical... you're not... WRONG, per se?

But that's why I think modifying what exists in radical, expansive ways is the best option. It's too slow, I recognize that. But even if it fails, continuity with what exists now saves us a decade or more of murderous chaos, with an uncertain result.
