And I Think Things Like Amazon And Year-round Fruit Availability - Tumblr Posts

i consider myself pro-degrowth--in that i think amazon same-day delivery and universal car ownership and all-year-round global fruit supply chains are all fundamentally unsustainable and should be abolished--but the way some people talk about it with a christian martyrdom level of fetishization of suffering is just such a dead-end. if you are going to be an eco-socialist you have to make the case that freedom from wage labour and universal housing and the socialization of wealth are going to be worth giving up the unsustainable luxuries of the capitalist economy in the imperial core--'we're going to make your life worse and you should think that's a good thing' is not a political movement with a future.
