    If only. Without revolution, the limits of the capitalist state is social democracy, ie welfare capitalism, which can improve conditions in the short term but does not address the systemic problems of capitalism itself. A mass socialist party and mass class consciousness are both necessary for revolution, along with crisis within the capitalist system. You can directly support the first two by getting involved with a socialist party. Both Freedom Road Socialist Organization and the Party for Socialism and Liberation have two tiers of membership, general membership which is low commitment in time and money, and cadre membership, which requires significant time and money. See which is more active near you (almost certainly PSL, but varies), and consider joining the general membership!
