What we need are people banding together in solidaristic movements not individually doing a little mutual aid here and there. Doing small good deeds is the permissible way people are allowed to change society which is to say in a way that never fundamentally threatens the power structures we live under.
Revolution is one way to change a society. It’s the one that gets all the attention because it makes a big splash. It’s also less stable and often more violent than slow change. Sometimes it is indeed the only way, when incremental change is repressed. But it is glorified and should not be the first option.
Revolution doesn’t just happen all at once. It takes intentional and strategic action over time. But revolution is the only way out of where we are now. Capitalism is a death cult. It’s an exterminationist ideology on a long enough time scale. Doing away with it completely is the only option.
What you suggest will only draw out the pain and suffering of humanity longer at the behest of the rich and powerful.

We can do both, if time and energy allow.
