I know what he's objecting to. But I still haven't seen a single decent argument about how you could actually convince people not to want to own things. You could take capitalism off the table completely and people would still place some value on the things they've acquired, built, whatever.

None of us are going to save the environment or dismantle the military industrial complex. You also aren't going to stop watching Netflix or going to the grocery store. So if there's a model where people would actually abandon the concept of private ownership but still have access to all the amenities we take for granted, I'd like to see it.
