I'm not sure the "working class" has been in need to come up with anything. For one, their inherent violence against deviations from their own lifestyle (which oscillates between exploitation and condescension, like in all lateral violence) proves to be far more reactionary than revolutionary.

I was talking mainly about the snobbery of the #counterculture, the wide gap between their aspirations and reality, their moralistic entitlement, their inability to provide working solutions for societies, economies, and infrastructures as a whole. Even conceptually, approaches like systems thinking did not provide major progress but contributed further to a dehumanisation of people, their lifes, and the culture they live by. In that sense the may have been even worse than the reactionary "working class" (aka petite/petty bourgeoise).

On the other hand, I don't think that "the" countercultrure's aspirations of the past 60 years have been about "survival" (in all the facets you mention) but about "liberation" (in the broadest sense). So I think you may retrospectively ascribe a theme onto them that hasn't been part of their motifs and topics. (Even ecology and small scale organic farming wasn't pursued "to save the planet", but to "heal" some land or end some local exploitation). Thus I don't think that the "planetary vision" was ever more than a catchphrase, and when it became more than that, it turned into urgency and despair.
