There is some good news for those that are looking. Degrowth is the way forward.
We all need to be working less.
We all need to be spending more time with our loved ones & doing our dorky hobbies.
The planet is overheating.
We all need to slow down & build a culture that encourages/rewards that.

I came across this "critique" of degrowth today in Catalyst magazine, by two prominent writers. I was struck by how wildly incorrect it is.

Degrowth does *not* proceed from the position that there is "already more than enough wealth in the world"... which here seems to mean "the stuff we need to live good lives is already produced and just needs to be distributed better." Totally wrong.

Everyone with any sense can see there are critical shortages of basic things like housing, sanitation systems, healthcare, public transit, etc.
In reality, degrowth proceeds from the position that there is already more than enough *productive capacity*.

The problem is that capital controls that productive capacity (the labour, resources, factories, etc), and therefore produces what is profitable to capital... so we get massive overproduction of SUVs, weapons, mansions, etc, with devastating ecological consequences...

and we get chronic shortages of obviously necessary things because they are less profitable or not profitable at all.

The solution is to reclaim democratic control over the means of production, overcome the capitalist law of value, and organize production around social and ecological goals (in other words, socialism). This must include, and indeed is enabled by, degrowing damaging and unnecessary production.

With this approach, we know it is possible to ensure good lives for all 8 billion people on this planet (including supplying all the "core goods" these authors call for) with *less* total resource use and energy use, and less total output, than the world economy presently produces.

This is clearly *not* just about "moving numbers around" (what a bizarre claim!). It's about transforming the ownership and direction of production.

So how are you guys planning to win Michigan in 2028? Put Dearborn in another Sophie's Choice between two genocidal candidates and lambaste them if they vote third party?
I will say that I am skeptical of the sincerity of a person who in the Year of Our Lord 2026 is spending their presumably limited mental energy inventing scenarios where actually it’s Good and Principled that they don’t vote against fascism and also it’s Not Their Fault

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but insulting potential voters isn’t going to win anybody over. Unless you care more about being right on the internet, than you actually do about winning elections.

Prices remain steady on most things over the last 30 days. Toggle it to 90 and almost everything spiked 30%
