Degrowth, mfs
I'm down with this. But let's address the elephant in the room about "degrowth," it necessitates population control.
Where can I learn more about degrowth, from a Marxist perspective?
Monthly Review is good for this sort of thing. They have lots of articles about eco-socialism and degrowth, especially recently.
Here:

I'm normally really wary about upvoting anything posted on hexbear, but in this case the article is well-reasoned and well-written, and the USSR fanbois adequately upset, so all in all thumbs-up.
Isn't this the most upvoted comment in the thread?
This article is idiotic. It's anticommunist drivel that just exists to help the western left rationalize shitting on actually existing/existed socialism in China/USSR because they weren't green enough.

Sounds rather upset to me.
I'm not. MF_COOM isn't. I'm the one that posted it. And Saito is a tankie too. Besides, the comment isn't about degrowth.
Good good. Happy for you.
But I struggle to see how Saito can be called a tankie when he's so critical of the Soviet Union and of historical communism.
Or maybe we have fundamentally incompatible definitions of what is a tankie.
Don't get me wrong: I like Saito's ideas. Are they going to happen? No.
"tankie" seems to mean means "anyone who annoys me online from the left" at this point tbh
