Sure, the system has been abused to the point that it does deserve to be overthrown, but do the people underneath that system deserve that kind of anarchy?
Ironically, in an ideal world, I'd likely be an anarchist, but true anarchism can't exist in a world with billionaires. The fact is, when we expanded to such large civilizations with an unnatural necessity to control large swathes of groups, we built a self-abusing system that generally benefits from hurting us.
Use whatever idioms you want, unringing bells, toothpaste in tubes, etc. We're all in a stupidly precarious situation and the only way out requires a massive form of unrealistic cooperation.
