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.

      It seems like degrowthers have some valuable insight but yeah if you simultaneously did not believe in the neccesity and potential of revolution and state overthrow it would be very “doomer”.

        Right, ML gives hope and strength. Another way you are depressed, do not want to bring children to the world and actually thinking about suicide.
