CAN the trying stop? Yes, but not by you. Once again "you" are not the problem solver but the problem itself.
So where does this leave us? It probably leaves us in misery until and if there is the realization that there isn't any "we".
Admittedly, connecting all this with "political" vicious circles is not obvious, but it exists for all that. Some truths do not come cheap since they necessitate a quantum jump away from consensus reality (the orient's "maya").
In consensus reality, liberation is "achievable" and political problems can be "solved", but this presupposes achievers and solvers and precludes dimensions infinitely more vast that these delusional identities.
It's more than semantics to say that political activism works great so long as it's not the production of "political activists".
Spirituality is not out there in the metaphysical boonies. It's the soul of everything and egocentric political activism (ironically and tragically) is the ultimate fail safe of political evil.
And speaking of evil, let's remember that "rich people" (to say it simplistically) were the abomination of evil for Jesus Christ. Indeed, that's probably why he got crucified. Not for BORing theological reasons, but because he got too close to the greed power structure of that culture when he whipped the money changers out of the "temple".
In any event, Jesus saw the Earth's Greek God like elites as the incarnate devils of human existence. Remember his preaching that it's harder for a rich man to get into heaven than for a camel to go through the eye of a needle? Jesus ABHORRED the elites and most of his sermons were about the poor in spirit (and pocket) and the limitless cruelty of the pig, pig rich (are you listening Paris Hilton, Rupert Murdoch, sexist Saudi princes, the Bush Royal Family, and multi billionaires of BOTH political parties)?
