    So what would the people who want to dismantle the system replace it with? And where is a realistic plan to do so? And where is the evidence that will work?

    Eh, I’d argue the system is broken. Not because it’s exploiting the poor, mind you, that part is intended. The unintended part is how it’s starting to encroach on the authority of the rich. The system is supposed to “sustainably” make the rich richer and the poor poorer, which is of course complete balloony but that’s neither here nor there.
