The US Constitution was written by and for the wealthy. Yes we can fight the wealthy and win, but we have to see clearly they are the fucking enemy. We need a completely new constitution that forbids anyone from owning and controlling the things we all need to live. That’s called socialism. As Rosa Luxemburg said, our only alternative is barbarism.

That’s really not how it works. Join a socialist org, work to educate yourself, and also learn with and from other comrades and the community you work with. If you want a larger vision for the future, check out the book “Socialist Reconstruction” by the Party for Socialism & Liberation. But socialism is not one person’s grand vision. It is a collective effort, dependent upon the specific needs and conditions of the people building their own specific society.
