The problem with that kind of acceleration is that it assumes that the problem with establishing change is getting people to believe that their life sucks. But that's not the problem, the problem is convincing people that action for change can make things better. Concrete victories, starting small, can do that; letting things get worse doesn't.
Capitalism replaced feudalism because the bourgeoisie took power, one small victory at a time, from the feudal nobility.
If a system in which the working classes take power from the capitalists is to replace capitalism—and the modern mixed economy may be a transitional form on the route to such a system, or might just be a diversion—then it's going to be the same way.
