I suggest that the phenomenological perspective - because its basis is philosophical idealism - encourages people to seek change through the way they think, instead of providing them with means by which they can change what they or others are doing. Theoretical de-reification, a possible consequence of this perspective, is not enough. There must be a practical de-reification - an actual overthrow of social relations through praxis.
