New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 63
What is "degrowth"? Well, that's simple. It's not just the newest brand name for the "Net Zero" environmentalist scam; it's Communism rebranded and newly organized for the 21st century. That is, it is death. It is the fulfillment of Critical Marxist Herbert Marcuse's vision for a synthetic fusion of capitalism and socialism outlined in One-dimensional Man (https://amzn.to/45hdLzs) and An Essay on Liberation (pdf: https://monoskop.org/images/2/27/Marcuse_Herbert_Essay_on_Liberation.pdf) from the 1960s. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the idea of "degrowth," sharing from a socialist magazine, an unlikely article (https://phys.org/news/2023-07-degrowth-planet.html) in a physics publication, and a new book (https://amzn.to/3KD39Tu) that claims "Degrowth Communism" is the realization of what Karl Marx really intended with his theories.
