Kohei Saito’s “Start From Scratch” Degrowth Communism
jacobin.com
Kohei Saito’s degrowth rewrite of Marxist theory is not only incorrect — if taken seriously, it would lead to political disaster for both the socialist left and the environmental movement.

I haven't read Saito's books, or looked too deeply into degrowth as a movement. I just read this article and thought it made some good arguments against what it claims are Saito's understandings of Marx. I'm not sure I agree with everything, but I thought it was interesting enough to share.

    I took it that way. Since the slogan is "degrowth communism", and not "degrowth socialism" I interpret it as what actual communism would look like in regards to production, and so imo it's pretty redundant
