There are many points in the article that one can criticize, especially the implementation part prompting the author to describe degrowth as viable option (which I consider a social democrat capitalism-lite way of solving the problem)
But overall, it’s a good and accurate critique of capitalism’s symptoms on individuals and society as a whole.
I think degrowth as a way of setting strategic priorities in socialism is fine, but using it as a strategy to become socialist is idealist nonsense, for sure
