Massive cultural change that includes whole visible lifestyle changes & protecting those who resist the demand for labor that harms the planet would be a good start.
A lot of jobs make the planet less livable. We need to make sure that the people who are in those jobs can quit and maintain dignified lives if we want a more livable future.
Can we get there from here? It's not looking good in America right now but I'm not sure a violent revolution would have a better chance of creating that change. A drafted Vietnam Vet I knew once drunkenly yelled "I had to kill for this country, you only have the rights I give you". I think a lot of forms of coercion & violence can be like that - once people have had to endure or enact it, they often only respect others who've gone through it.
So powers gained through violence beget systems that empower violence. People who have had to work hard demand others labor as hard, even if it's not producing anything useful.
