Or if you don't, the most common thing seems to be to try to disprove Adorno's opinion of "Es gibt kein richtiges Leben im falschen." and try to change the immediate surroundings to be bearable and closer to the own ideals, while sort of giving up on the big systematic changes. Thus you get e.g. people who started out as squatters who wanted to change the capitalist way of housing ownership and nuclear family living, finally making an agreement with the city and buying/leasing their squatted building, so that they themselves are living in a communal structure, while not being threatening to the "outside" anymore.
Or those who don't create niches tone down their goals and go mainstream and try to change things from within.
