How can you claim permaculture is about the goals you described if it's not contributing to them?

The practice is valuable because it increases knowledge. You don't build large-scale projects first, you build prototypes first (and many of them) then iterate.

Permaculture is not about those goals specifically. It can contribute to those goals, aligns with them nicely, and many people who are into permaculture are also into those other goals, but it is not the goal.
The engine is not the entire car.
In some cases it is. So what? Even that form of practice is valuable.
One can't expect the permaculture people to also stage an overnight revolution and reform society. The social changes I describe are needed badly, but they are outside the scope of permaculture itself.
Permaculture is is an important aspect of a much larger goal around sustainability.
