There is no perfect system, every system needs to be fought over, lest it gets overtaken by those working against you. Destroying the current system also destroys every benefit you already fought for.

Getting rid of monarchy famously destroyed all the benefits that enlightenment brought the people. /s

Yeah, and as we all know it goes very smoothly with no long running issues. France in the early 1790s was a great place for all, if memory serves.

Most monarchies didn’t get ‘destroyed’ and most peasants living under monarchies didn’t have much to lose to begin with. The world is much more interconnected now.

… just because the world is more interconnected doesn’t state anything about how much the people have to lose. Inequality in income is ridiculously high rn.
