Periphery countries still contribute to the system; the US doesn’t have military bases in most of those countries by happenstance, but because keeping them in that position benefits the bourgeoisie.
To be clear, the answer isn’t to say everything is futile and hopeless, it’s to participate in organizations which don’t contribute to the system and build duel power within these countries, or just move to non-capitalist countries.
governments, peripherally, but the system in talking about doesn’t contribute to billionaires anywhere near the way you’re contributing to them right now.
this is what you sound like to someone who actually understands how the system works:
you are stranded in Antarctica.
you loudly complain about how Antarctica is destroying your life, how the cold is invading your bones, how you can’t grow any food and you have no opportunities.
a rescue boat shows up, and says they’ll take you wherever you want.
you claim that because extreme weather exists at all, there’s no point in going anywhere.
you scream your anxieties at the rescue boat until they leave you behind, per your wishes.
that is how you are living, and how you want others to live.
I’m on the other side, supported by facts, knowledge and experience.
great, i hope you understand that your list contributed to my point, rather than being an independent thought of your own.
Your list is inadequate and unhelpful with regards to the real world, so i offered practical ways one can thrive while not contributing to the system you’re complaining about.

I literally listed countries where you wouldn’t be meaningfully contributing to the system.
