So I study socialism and these systems extensively - it's the other half of my degree. I just don't have faith in NGOs and democracy because I've seen them fail at accomplishing these things that I value so much, and I don't want to be powerless, so I'm learning business too.
You're studying an economics degree lad, don't kid yourself. Anything with business in it is in the economics field.
No, don't tell me what my own major is. "Don't kid myself"... like I'm unaware of what classes I'm taking and what I'm learning???
You suffer from a need to stereotype. Don't. It is insulting and incorrect. A lot of students now take degrees that cross diverse faculties, and it's not a bad thing. It doesn't fit into your compartmentalized understanding of who is on your side and who isn't, so think laterally instead of writing any fiscally effective strategy off as 'economics'. Think for a second why a very good understanding of subjects like finance or corporate law might be helpful for anyone who wants to effect change in our current system.
