This essay is extremely political, neither "news" nor of special interest to "hackers". Even judged as a political polemic it seems underwhelming. In that it's just a bunch of assertions - many of them dubious, some mutually inconsistent - with essentially no effort to either support them or grapple with potential opposing assertions.
As one example: this essay initially decries "denying domestic labour a wage", but then goes on to assert in the conclusion that there will be "no money" in our glorious socialistic future, which presumably entails that all labor would then be "unwaged". No? And don't get me started on the economics generally...
