100% this, and not an explicitly violent revolution, either. We need to build alternative power structures to replace our heirarchical society. Simply replacing our elites using violence would end up with a new set of elites who are very provably willing to use violence against their enemies. IMO this is one of the major reasons that marxism-leninism has historically yielded authoritarian states, e.g. the USSR.
I think this is a bit overly optimistic, the ruling class own like 99% of every industry, not just fossil fuels. We can’t just wait for history to take its course, we need to start building a worker-led movement to replace our exploitative heirarchical society, that’s how we can make the ruling class obsolete. We need to get our shit together and actually do a lot of work to achieve this.

Their real death will be through obsoletion.
Which I should clarify is already here. They just don’t want us to think that yet cause they invested in a bunch isht that is now obsolete.
It’s all ducken obsolete them fossil fuels is. Don’t get me wrong, a tank of clean propane is dandy for a Sunday grill, but solar’s where it at
