Yes, I see the hyperindividualism, the commodification, the utter isolation: in my view, those are all obvious ideological consequences of life in a capitalist society. However, if we--somehow, in some way we can't imagine right now--manage to escape from this barbarism, we won't be "getting back to nature"; we'll be creating new social relations and new social institutions.
----------------- Maybe. It seems to me that there are a lot of issues related to industrialization that need to be addressed very seriously.
