Title gore. Doesn't match the article at all. But updoot anyways because the article is valuable as a consolidated meta-analysis of collapse.

My two pet peeves:

The author uses society when it should be civilization.
The author introduces climate change as the cause, rather than ecological overshoot of which climate change is but one of its facets.

Bottom-Up vs Top-Down Abolishing Capitalism in c/degrowth@slrpnk.net

What 'ism is congruent with degrowth? I get it, the author hates capitalism, and with good reason. Naming his demon, directly, isn't as useful as he thinks. People don't move away from Capitalism as much as they move toward something else. What is that something else?
