I read your subtitle:

"We can’t save ourselves without dismantling capitalism"

You don't say what or how to dismantle capitalism.

I am still searching your what my mean when you say "dismantle capitalism." How do you define capitalism? Say I own a bunch of Snowball shops, built and outfitted them with a loan from a bank and they are almost paid off. Are you saying that they should now belong to my workers? Which workers, the ones who work for me when I started the businesses or the ones I hired this summer? If I have to give most of my interest in the property to the workers doesn't that make them capitalists? Capitalist, someone who as a Capital interest in the means of production. Lets just say I give the ownership of the buildings, property, equipment to everyone who worked for the business, a share as a proportion of the total labor hours based on their work hours. Do you really think the business would succeed under their management? Who is going to buy the consumable ingredients, who is going to pay the power bill and the tax bill? Who is going to pay for or do the maintenance.

Capitalism need better regulation, you better not be thinking of dismantling it, that would be a disaster. Certainly break up monopolies, nationalize too big to fail or required for National Security businesses, regulate the hell out of polluters and other environmental bad actors but let entrepreneurs and business owners and corporations continue to own their means of production.
