No, it's not.

The "dream" part is not a problem. The violence to force that "dream" is.

It absolutely is. Capital is appropriative. Capital destroys the natural world for growth and imposes tyranny on the working classes. So, agree to disagree.
> The violence to force that "dream" is.
Violence? You mean protests? Or policy changes that you disagree with?
If by "everybody" you mean "Capital", then that's probably true, overall. It's how the system works.
> Yeah, that's the part that is cringe and naïve.
Pretty depressing that that is your take. Dream big, go in the right direction, get wins where you can. Better than aiming small and getting even less done. My take, anyway.
