Welcome to our in-depth exploration of degrowth. In a world shaped by economic systems, our articles delve into the intersection of green politics, degrowth, and anti-capitalist principles, providing a unique perspective on reshaping economic paradigms.
Our articles offer a green perspective on degrowth, examining how it aims to redefine success beyond mere GDP growth and advocates for a sustainable, balanced approach to resource allocation.
Discover how anti-capitalist ideals align with the Green vision for an economic system that prioritizes people and the planet over profit. We explore the complexities of dismantling the current economic framework and replacing it with one that emphasizes social justice, environmental sustainability, and community well-being. Navigate through insightful articles that unpack the strategies proposed by green political movements to reduce the size of the military-industrial complex.
Together, let’s envision and advocate for a future where economic prosperity is intertwined with social and ecological well-being.
So in plain language, here is the actual claim: “We have no choice but to meet all electricity demands and doing so via renewable energy increases greenhouse gas emissions by a lesser amount than fossil fuels.”
Now that we have clarity on the actual claim, we can break it down. The reality is this: 1) We absolutely do have a choice because demand is politically, economically, and socially constructed, and 2) The choice between renewables and fossil fuels is a false binary, like telling a healthy person they must chose between losing an arm or a leg.
The Guatemalan government announced the termination of the medical collaboration agreement with Cuba under which Cuban health professionals worked in remote and impoverished areas of the country since 1998.
The world trembled as Bad Bunny marched onto the field at the Super Bowl, in front of millions of spectators, with flags from every country in the Americas, in a performance that, while a kick to imperialism, will only find dry dust in liberal enthusiasm. While the Puerto Rican singer fired off in Spanish, across the Gulf of Mexico, Cuba was announcing that it has run out of jet fuel.
In the shadow of escalating federal repression, Minneapolis emerges as a true City of Heroes — where veterans, neighbors and new acivists stand shoulder-to-shoulder against militarized “Homeland Security” assaults on their streets. From winter vigils to first-aid patrols and whistles in the night, those once silent now resist with unwavering solidarity. The courageous presence of Veterans For Peace links battles abroad to the fight at home, uniting generations against racism, state violence and ICE terror. This is a story of collective defance, community care, and resistance that refuses to yield.
Gerry McGovern’s newest book, 99th Day: A Warning about Technology, reads like a Truth and Reconciliation Commission about technology’s impacts on ecosystems and public health. From his start on a small Irish farm, McGovern wanted to be a modern, materially wealthy man. In the early 90s, he developed an online community, a blogging system and a way to manage web content. He became “an evangelistic tech bro, a booster of ‘renewable’ energy who believed there was no innovation that tech couldn’t solve.” In a blink, he made money, money, money.
The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat—it is an accelerating emergency exposing the bankruptcy of incremental solutions and market-driven “green transitions.” This incisive update dismantles the myth of a smooth energy transition, revealing how renewables are being layered atop fossil fuels rather than replacing them. As heatwaves, storms, and ecological breakdown intensify, the article argues that genuine mitigation demands radical systemic change, binding international action, and the rapid winding down of fossil fuel production. In a world drifting toward climate denial and political inertia, it calls for urgent, transformative responses before irreversible catastrophe becomes inevitable.
“Anthropause” is an amazing word and the latest book about it is an eye-opener. Stan Cox’s Anthropause: The Beauty of Degrowth (2026, Seven Stories Press), does what far too few degrowth books do – it first focuses readers’ attention to the positive experiences we could enjoy in a society less dedicated to producing unnecessary stuff.
A movement born from radical action now risks being defanged by racism and elite capture. As the climate crisis continues to grow, the only viable path is a radical struggle for climate and environmental liberation.
