Well, I want a better world. If enough people want a better world it will be a better world. If enough people just throw up their hands and say "well, that's the way it is and there's nothing we can do about it", then you're right, the status quo will remain.
No, the status quo doesn't remain--nothing is forever, all things change in time. They may not change in the direction you want them to, or the way you want them to or when you want them to, but change definitely will come at some point.
As for "if enough people want a better world it will be a better world" you're making a dangerous assumption that enough people agree on the definition of better. My idea of a better world may be my group on top, your group on bottom--not exactly the better world you'd envision. Brings to mind what a seasoned politician once told me--"never encourage anyone to go to the polls unless you're damn sure which way he's gonna vote."
It's not just that the world is made up of winners and losers; it's worse--people have their own perceptions of whether they're winning or losing. So you see some who seem by your standards to have it all, yet they want more or, more honestly, they're afraid someone is gonna get some of what they already have. And there are those who have little or nothing who say, "I'm every bit as good as you are, I deserve the things you've got, so hand them over." Then you have dozens, hundreds, thousands of different view points in between, each seeking their own better world--one with the "right" economy, the "right" religion, the "right" government, the "right" society, etc. according to what each sees as "right" for him.
It's not just a battle you fight once and--win or lose--it's settled forever. It's hundreds of battles day by day on hundreds of levels. I've fought some of those battles, sometimes in the streets where I busted noses and got my nose busted in return, sometimes by standing up against authority to show them no matter what they did, I wasn't backing down. And sometimes I've said aww, to hell with principles, I'm tired of being a target and just sat it out.
You have to choose your fights cuz you can't fight them all. And I choose not to refight what has already occurred to the poor old Indian and other aboriginal folk. They roamed the pre-Colombian West, treating each other as badly as the white man later treated them all. But now they live in cities and rural reservations. Tough. That's life. Live with it. And for revenge gouge the whites who come through your tribal casino and ski lodges on land where the tribe now makes the rules.
