Of course the establishment of Krakoa: Mutant Nation is not the goal.
Mutant survival throughout the coming centuries is.
Krakoa is just one new plan (of many, past failed attempts) in the first steps of trying (hoping) to attain that goal.

I personally don't think it includes 'co-existence'. At least not as defined/dreamt of in past X-Lore.
Xavier offering 'gifts' and possible 'terms and conditions' indicates/implies something more that just co-existence.
When you think of it in real world terms...countries aren't actually just co-existing with each other...and certainly not in a peaceful manner. But that's just the nature of governments and nations...Peaceful co-existence is Old Testament 'Garden of Eden' ideology...not impossible but highly improbable.
This may sound morbid, but if / when Mutants become the dominant species on the planet, wouldn't be amusing if they suddenly began drifting apart and forming subcultures around their powers. Shapeshifters, Telepaths, Speedsters, Telekinetics, Regenerators... Different clans, each with its own rules and traditions. In time, we could have a full circle revolution. My clan is better than yours. A mutant civil war, if you wish. Then again, by that logic, all wars in history are civil wars. Homo Sapiens civil wars, technically.
Well, that's the point.
Life 4: Moira and Xavier tried co-existence. And failed.
Life 5: They tried isolation. But humans come to them.
Life 8: Moira and Magneto tried direct violence. But were stopped by super-heroes, including the X-men.
Life 9: Moira joined the Apocalypse in the survival of the fittest. And it was the life that lasted the longest.
The plan now I think is combine isolation (Krakoa), survival of the fittest (Resurrection), indirect violence (Diplomatic and commercial approach).
Ooooooooooooooh yeah! Eva is back baby!!
Another amazing issue! Hickman is rocking this! Couldn't have asked for a better writer to elevate the X-Men franchise back to it's relevant height again.

I was hoping to see such things in the futures shown in this, we've had the fear the machines ludditetry in pop culture and sci-fi for decades now, nothing revolutionary or ground breaking or inspiring, a large global and even galactic civil war between mutants would've been something different to explore.
I am asking a very specific question here as it pertains to this specific story: So what is going to convince the humans to play their part this time? The only difference pointed out is getting all the tribes to unite, but that would seem to only make the humans-machines more worried.
