Martin Rose argues that Lenin's classic political strategy offers an alternative to the economism which plagues both sides of the debate around 'degrowth.'
A rightist article who's author celebrates the right-opportunist and infamous mechanist Bukharin. It at least correctly points out Kaito is, yet again, neither a communist nor a marxist but an idealist utopian socialist, while pointing out some very mildly warmed-over criticism of Matt Huber for being an "economist" over the fact that his discussions focus primarily on advocating for the creation of planned economies as a way to solve the climate crisis - a criticism I find both worthless and one made to create the perception of imperfection for a reason that shortly becomes revealed towards the end of the article.
The writer reveals after lengthy paragraphs criticizing Huber for being too much of a Stalinist and Saito for being the socialist version of mormonism - Marxist in name but not in essence - the writer finally reveals their hand to show how they should be concidered right and the others wrong.
He does this by using Lenin's name to hide behind the inevitable criticism his position would garner while bragging about how good the NEP period was before saying it should've gone on for longer - and let the nazis genocide the Soviet People - and saying we should use the NEP as a model for a communist society.
Fucking wrong.
Ultimately in the end paragraph, it all ends with a long wet fart that introduces nothing new to the overall conversation as it simply rehashed everything that's been said by marxist-leninists for decades and slapped a shiny new label on it called "eco-leninism". The author in essence takes what Huber talks about but tries to scribble out the supposed stain left by Stalin's correct legacy.
This article sucks and the writer should feel bad for writing it.
