"...The solution to the precarious question is not going to be found in the 
return to the old speculative, overindebted, overdeveloped, ecocidal, 
supremely unequal consumer economy of yore, the very same that has been 
responsible for the lion's share of greenhouse emissions deposited in the 
atmosphere over the last three decades, but in the fight for a new economic 
and welfare system built around the social and environmental needs of the 
precarious strata of society, ensuring that each human being on Earth is 
entitled to the same share of carbon emissions....Redistribution of wealth 
and power toward the precarious, growth of immaterial knowledge, cultural 
enrichment of
society and massive expansion of leisure are fundamental social conditions 
for the horizontal, open-source design of a resilient postcapitalist 
society, freeing the time to pursue ecohacktive and permacultural 
activities, giving the time back to precarized and frightened people to 
think collectively about their own future, also cutting the need for quick 
consumption and instant satisfaction among precarious service and knowledge 
workers in the currently time-starved global society"

Alex Foti, from "Climate Justice Action: precarious united for climate 
action"
