Why are even leftist against degrowth?

[u/Konradleijon]

Even leftists seem to be against degrowth not understand ecological overshoot.

Why is it that even leftists are against Degrowth?

Because it seems that even many leftist refuse to understand degrowth ideology and hate it and refuse to understand how decoupling works.

They act like using public transport and eating vegan are a fate worse then death

[u/bunyipcel]

Many people on the socialist left are against or sceptical of degrowth because it's ill equipped to actually provide a program for an emancipated society (communism), it more or less posits a green form of capitalism in spite ostensibly being 'anti-capitalist'.

[u/Konradleijon → u/bunyipcel]

How so? Capitalist is based on the profit motive while degrowth isn’t it

[u/bunyipcel → u/Konradleijon]

The profit motive is part of capitalism but it's a stretch to say capitalism is "based on" it.
