      The primary objective is to end global supply chains and localize production.

      In the Global North, labor needs to be directed away from service work. In the Global South, labor must be directed away from export commodity production. Across the globe, labor must be directed towards the development of local means of production.

      The Green New Deal is the "climate plan" that will much more exploitative towards the Global South. It's just an advertising campaign for mineral extraction.

          So, feudalism is not a specific set of class relations? It's actually "when I can't buy Gautamalan bananas at Walmart"?

              Your argument here is that we need to fundamentally abandon all industrial production

              Literally never said this? Industry can exist without the global supply chains which exist today.

              it’s that it needs a fucking lot of uncompensated labor to work

              Why must the labor be uncompensated? You are presupposing class relations again

              it historically pushes extremely hard towards the enserfment of labor

              What historical example are you using? Every socialist government has carried out the "abolish international commodity production and develop local mean of production." Cuba serves as the perfect example, given their historical role as a plantation & oil economy for the US.

        Jacobin socialists: "actually it's impossible for proles to build anything, people are worthless and must beg Walmart to build things"
