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.

Not even gonna read, just gonna make an argument he might’ve made a point on.

If we stop the production of Funko, that’s degrowth.

If we stop the production of H&M and fast fashion, that’s degrowth.

If we stop the production Mountain Dew Baja blast 16oz bottles, that’s degrowth.

If we break up the military industrial complex, that’s degrowth.

If we do anything to slow down production of anything, it is degrowth and restructuring an economy.

Average Jacobin writer thinks we hit the communism and have space colonies and world peace overnight.
