A big part of the modern economy depends on consumerism. If that part is taken out then it becomes obvious that probably a majority of our economic activity is superfluous and so are the jobs that such consumption creates. The scary part of that fact is under capitalism it means the poor will get much poorer if consumption reduces or stops. So I think people need to aware of that fact and plan for it. Basically, just get ready to form your own mutual aid societies until enough people get clued in that maybe we don’t need capitalism (and consumerism) after all.
