If the working class at large were willing to choose degrowth, as individuals have, then they could do something.
With a critical mass other types of action would also become more feasible, as I touched on.
I stand by the thesis that they won’t mobilize, but that if they were to do so then they would be able to make a difference. Even if they only destroyed infrastructure in a failed rebellion.
The mobilization of the working class isn’t going to do jack shit and arguably never really has in modern history.
The working class still needs water, gas and electricity and will still burn coal to get them easily whether the ruling class is there or not.

In the end it is a moot distinction, I guess.
