Another important passage from the same piece:
> "It’s important to note that I’m not advocating for a sort of liberal individualist method that emphasizes changing our own personal patterns of consumption... ***It is important to note though that bringing about systemic change in a prefigurative way will entail changes in all aspects of life, including personal consumption.*** Those alterations themselves will not precipitate systemic change, but we must understand that the future we want lies on a foundation of radically different social and ecological relations, and practicing those relations now is part of building the future in a socially resilient way."
(Emphasis mine)
> "The important overarching “methodology,” though, is that the methods of organizing towards these ends must be prefigurative. Which is to say, whatever work needs to be done to achieve these goals must embody the principles we’d like to see as the foundation of an ‘ideal’ society and avoid the sorts of means associated with capitalist and statist projects, but there’s no denying that in the desire to “win,” some of those methods may seem appealing. For example, I don’t think degrowth is compatible with the function of a traditional party-based, mass organization-oriented revolutionary approach, because in those sorts of formations, which tend to produce a political class whose job it is to wield power, is born the incipient state and ultimately the seed of capitalism. This is actually my greatest concern at the moment: much of the modern left seems intent on pursuing the kinds of revolutionary organizing methods that have resulted in nothing but failure over the last century. They’re tempting because they seem like neat, straightforward methods, but therein lies the problem: the actual world, composed of messy social and ecological formations, is not neat or simple, and methods that do not recognize this truth, or seek to intentionally flatten that complexity, will not succeed. Only in understanding and respecting it, tailoring our methods to embrace flexibility and dynamism, can we begin to make progress."
