In this article author argues with Forest and Factory: The Science and the Fiction of Communism, mainly about labor time accounting. I think i find the argument convincing tbh (about the need to continue doing labor accounting)

    The job that’s hard to fund should get kropotkin’ed (make everyone participate in it if it’s so shit, sooner or later someone will figure out a better way).

    Yeah, like a public works program. Some jobs which require quite a bit of specialization would need to be more limited, but I would gladly welcome a public Works obligation particularly if it came with something like decommodified housing or something.

    Prioritizing the reduction of labor is good though, and there should be significant grants/resources to people trying to solve those problems. Maybe a bit like the competitions described in the end notes article.

    (You can even feasible do it lib way via laws)

    Yeah, they could, but that would be communism or something. Part of Cockshott and Cos latest book is just trying to remind the liberals that they used to do shit like this during WWII, and the climate is an even larger existential threat than that was.
