It’s not about not doing something, it’s more about learning to do something. I would personally recommend you start with joining some leftist protests in your area or joining a local leftist group. Then talk to the people there and learn how to do even more. It’s hard, but it shure as hell is better than just giving up.

Prefiguration. We are products of our environment. Always have been, always will be. Capitalism has shaped our environment so thoroughly that it's hard for the average person to imagine defaulting to anything else. So we need to change people's environment so they they can see and they can change and they can imagine more. How do you stop alcoholism? Get rid of the alcohol in your environment. How do you stop doomscrolling in bed? Put your phone charger in a different room. How do you stop paying for overpriced food deliveries? Get a calendar of community kitchen events so you always have a place to eat without effort. By shaping our environment so that anarchy is easier than capitalism in specific cases, we can wean ourselves off capitalism and see what issues, if any, there are with anarchy fulfilling those or other cases. Then we can overcome those issues, resent capitalism for blocking us, or acknowledge them as limitations, whatever the case may be. Then when it's clear that we have the means and the people by which to improve society by replacing capitalism in all areas of life, we can.
