Degrowth basics

"The word degrowth stands for a family of political-economic approaches that, in the face of today’s accelerating planetary ecological crisis, reject unlimited, exponential economic growth as the definition of human progress."

This applies to many other parts of society as well. We ought to become accustomed to our local environments, embrace interpersonal diversity, reject the alienating haze of capitalist consumerism, and work towards the organized chaos of eco-socialism!

I've seen that damn Bombas youtube ad so many times now that I can tell which subtle variant we're dealing with based on how the narrator says "t-shirts".

Does she say: "At Bombas, we make the comfiest socks, underwear, and t-shirts"? Then she's gonna conclude that sentence with "that feel good and do good".

Does she say: "At Bombas, we make the comfiest socks, underwear, and 😁😊t-shirts😊😁"? Then she's gonna conclude that sentence with "that feel good and most of all do good".

This knowledge is wasted space in my brain. The state of Ad Ubiquity is a hell we all share. (Yes, even when the ad involves Conscious Capitalism™.)

I yearn for a solarpunk degrowthed eco-socialist future where ads as a concept are just gone – gone from the landscape and gone from our collective psyche.

I'd like to present to you a solarpunk flag!

This flag was designed and drawn by @himokors

It has very blury meaning but it goes like that:

The center symbolizes both the sun (the purest energy) and the sunflower 🌻 - a magnificent plant with numerous uses, and once again, as a symbol of the sun and prosperity.

The multitude of white dots represents the Dyson swarm, symbolizing the method of harvesting solar energy and a decentralized system of management, where individual people are united in an alliance working for the common good and moving together towards a noble idea.

The three dots at the top represent RRR - Reduce, Reuse, Recycle (and other meanings if they can be imagined). Individual elements only make sense when viewed in the context of the entire flag.

This flag is free to use for everyone who likes it!

[probablyasocialecologist]

The abolition of the reified power of capital alone does not guarantee the realization of sustainable production because production is a material process, and burning fossil fuel means the same for the climate whether that happens in capitalism or socialism. The point is that non-capitalist society expands the room for more conscious control of production and consumption once freed from the endless competition and endless accumulation of capital.

Man lives on nature – which means that nature is his body, with which he must remain in continuous interchange if he is not to die.

That man’s physical and spiritual life is linked to nature means simply that nature is linked to itself, for man is a part of nature.

— Karl Marx, Estranged Labour (1844)

"Socialism in One Sector"

"Huber mentions the infamous statistic that “a mere one hundred companies are responsible for 71 percent of emissions since 1988”, a statistic based on the CDP Carbon Majors report. These numbers are almost invariably used to point to the power of large corporations relative to individual consumers. But used as such, the statistic is an enormous sleight of hand. Who, after all, are those one hundred companies? The answer is that they are producers and extractors of fossil fuels: ExxonMobil, SaudiAramco, BP, the Chinese coal sector (which the report somewhat oddly lumps together). By definition of what the study counts, the 29% missing percent also come from producers of fossil fuels — the CDP study is literally a list of fossil fuel producers, measuring nothing except the degree of market concentration in the fossil fuel industry.

We have thus merely opened up a third side on the ledger. According to this accounting of responsibility, both Volkswagen the company and the owner of the car are responsible for precisely zero percent, unless either of them owns oil wells. For any given product — a car, a laptop, a flight, a banana — We can thus count emissions at three points: at the point of consumption, at the point (or along the supply chain) of production of the product, and at the point of production of the fossil fuels which enabled the production and consumption of that product. But no matter on which of the three sides of this accounting ledger we decide to assign blame or moral culpability, the emissions have to come down. Huber’s argument thus matters to the degree that there are producers of products who could decrease the ecological damage they cause but choose, or are forced by the “mute compulsion” of capitalism, not to. But it ignores the fact that there are processes of production — and with them, products, services, and, yes, lifestyles — which intrinsically cause ecological damage and therefore have to be scaled down."

Degrowth and Ecosocialism | Jason Hickel

Economic anthropologist, Jason Hickel, is one of the leading degrowth researchers leading the charge for ecosocialism. He says if we limit the energy demands of the elite and hungry multinational corporations, reimagining economics to support and nurture human dignity, we could stay within our planetary boundaries—and lift the entire world out of poverty. 🔴 Interview Transcript available for Patrons: https://patreon.com/planetcritical
