It requires intelligent articulate people who can explain and illustrate what capitalism is, why it is destroying the possibility of human life on the planet, and how it is destroying the connections and the trust we need...to believe that a better and more equitable world is possible.

A narrative could be developed to include that idea. Essentially, capitalism has fucked us, and freeing the prisoners might return the favor.
