Source for thinking the degrowth crowd thinks this: Introduction to “The Future is Degrowth”. Does the degrowth crowd really think they can get rid of capitalism without any violence? This seems to have the opposite of a historical precedent, and is a deviation in Marxism, which they seem to heavily draw from. Anytime revolutionaries took the peaceful road they got outcompeted at best and massacred at worst.
I support degrowth, but only after the revolution. Any degrowth within capitalism is just going to be austerity.
I don’t think degrowth is the answer, but it depends on your definition of degrowth. Growth using green technology and renewable energy backed by socialist economic planning should be the solution.
What exactly is degrowth? Like technological regression or something?
Everytime i see the degrowth discussion out in the liberal internet wilds it tends to draw in thinly veiled ecofash or/and the magical hand of anarchism types.
