“Grassroots” = Mutual aid.

Spontaneous redistribution! People who can afford to make extra food share it with people who don’t have enough to eat.

"They were all going to die. And they did. The End."

Yeah, having some sort of future aspect seems somewhat necessary.
I don't think the science fiction itself needs to be optimistic. I think there needs to be some optimism that there will be a future (aside from the pure "yes, time indeed moves forward" sort).
Huh. I defer to your expertise, but is it actually true that SF thrives with optimism about the future? Star Trek is one mode, but isn't dystopian a subgenre that thrives when it needs to thrive?
