But what about the poorer countries of the global south? Should they adopt degrowth strategies? Some argue this would impose a <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/neocolonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#neocolonial</a> agenda, with wealthier countries once again dictating the terms of global development. Others note that many poorer countries need economic growth to combat poverty. And even if degrowth were limited to the north, it could still have significant effects on the south – both positive and negative."A review of academic literature on degrowth and the global south reveals two main perspectives: those who see degrowth as incompatible with the south’s development needs, and those who believe it could offer synergies with sustainable development goals."Supporters of degrowth often point out that many of its core ideas originate in the global south. Anthropologist Jason Hickel cites figures such as Sri Lankan philosopher <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AnandaCoomaraswamy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AnandaCoomaraswamy</a>, Indian economist <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JCKumarappa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JCKumarappa</a> and Bengali poet <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RabindranathTagore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RabindranathTagore</a> as inspirations. While these thinkers may not use the term 'degrowth', they promote ideas aligned with it, such as the Latin American <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SumakKawsay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SumakKawsay</a> (or “<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuenVivir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuenVivir</a>”) or the South African <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ubuntu</a>. These non-Western perspectives have been instrumental in shaping the degrowth discourse in the global north. Degrowth as decolonisation"Degrowth advocates argue that scaling back economic activity in the north could help dismantle the unequal global division of labour, in which raw materials are extracted from the south and processed into consumer goods in the north. This system disproportionately benefits wealthier nations while leaving poorer countries with the social and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmental" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmental</a> costs. "<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FedericoDemaria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FedericoDemaria</a>, a researcher in political ecology, argues that northern countries must 'pay for past and present <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#colonial</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/exploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exploitation</a> in the south' – a central theme in contemporary degrowth discourse."Some researchers suggest that dependence on economic growth is problematic for both the north and south. They argue that growth alone does not guarantee poverty reduction – wealth distribution and institutional reforms are just as crucial. Degrowth could help both regions avoid <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unsustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unsustainable</a> development models by focusing more on social well-being than perpetual economic expansion."Read more: <a href="https://theconversation.com/the-degrowth-movement-envisions-global-climate-justice-but-must-adapt-to-global-south-realities-238276" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theconversation.com/the-degrowth-movement-envisions-global-climate-justice-but-must-adapt-to-global-south-realities-238276</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SolarPunkSunday</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostColonialism</a>

DoomsdaysCW[Paper] Varieties of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Anticapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Anticapitalism</a>: A systematic study of transformation strategies in alternative economic discourses by Querine Kommandeur, Juliette Alenda-Demoutiez, Maria Kaufmann, Ingrid Visseren-Hamakers. Published January 2025.Abstract"The confluence of multiple crises has prompted a growing recognition of the need for transformations. Economic systems, including patterns of consumption and production, play a key role in sustainability transformations. The notion that capitalist systems are at the root of current ecological and social crises has led to the emergence of different alternative economic discourses, that seek to address the indirect drivers of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unsustainability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unsustainability</a>. In this article, we aim to contribute to moving the debate beyond critiques of capitalism by focussing on the paths of transformation towards alternatives. To this end, we analyse several alternative economic discourses in order to show the breadth of the debate, and to better understand the roles and strategies of various discourses in societal transformation. Seven discourses are included, of which Buen Vivir, Degrowth and Wellbeing Economy are analysed in-depth. This is done through a systematic analysis of literature published between 2015 and 2022, using an enhanced conceptual framework based on the works of Wright (2019) and Chertkovskaya (2022). Our analysis suggests that the discourses represent different modes of transformation, and that these differences exist both between, as well as within the different discourses. We argue that transformations cannot be achieved through single discourses, or modes of transformation. Rather, concerted efforts of different discourses aimed at addressing indirect drivers of unsustainability can provide the multi-faceted processes of societal change, in which they can support and reinforce one another through alliances and mutual learning."Introduction"Humans are putting ever-increasing burdens on the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environment</a>, causing severe damage to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a> (IPBES, 2019; United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development, 2015). This damage is operationalised through the planetary boundaries, showing how several of them have already been crossed, which increases the risk of unleashing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecosystem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ecosystem</a> changes on a global scale (IPBES, 2019; Lade et al., 2020). Besides the innumerable injustices towards non-humans that result from the destruction of nature, such processes also have severe impacts on structures that sustain human livelihoods, by impacting health and wellbeing, food security and infrastructure (IPCC, 2023; United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development, 2015). These processes are driven by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/capitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalist</a> accumulation, which relies on the continuous production of new frontiers of accumulation, often through the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/exploitation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#exploitation</a> of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MarginalizedCommunities" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarginalizedCommunities</a> and nature (Moore, 2017). These adverse impacts on nature and people disproportionately affect the most vulnerable people and systems (IPCC, 2023). "While capitalism manifests itself in a variety of ways across time and place (Hall and Soskice, 2001), there are several fundamental aspects that lie at the heart of its problematic nature. In capitalist societies, societal wealth manifests itself as an accumulation of commodities, and production is oriented towards profit rather than societal needs. Such profits, or surpluses, are extracted and privately appropriated for further expansion, forming the main force of growth. As such processes rely on the continued exploitation of labour and nature, inequality is not an outcome but the foundation of capitalist structures (Brand et al., 2021; Chertkovskaya and Paulsson, 2021; Moore, 2017). The continued inability to decouple environmental degradation from economic growth has made capitalism increasingly questionable in terms of its desirability and sustainability (Parrique et al., 2019). Such capitalist structures, both material, institutional, and discursive, are entrenched in societies, including institutions and governance mechanisms such as nation states and international political regimes, and are underpinned by societal values such as the appropriation of nature and non-human animals as resources to be exploited for human benefit (Brand et al., 2021; IPBES, 2019). This confluence of multiple crises has prompted a growing recognition of the need for transformations. Since the 2015 inception of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the term “transformation” has gained broad usage among policymakers, academics, activists, and others, resulting in diverse interpretations and literatures. Transformations imply “...changes in the generic societal causes, including institutions, governance structures, developments, power relations, paradigms, goals and values” (Kok et al., 2022, p. 8). The Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) defines transformative change as “a fundamental, system-wide reorganisation across technological, economic and social factors, including paradigms, goals and values” (IPBES, 2019, p. 14). Visseren-Hamakers and Kok shift the focus of this definition by replacing ‘system-wide’ with ‘society-wide’, emphasizing changes in general, societal structures (Visseren-Hamakers and Kok, 2022a, p. 8). We therefore consider capitalist structures to be the indirect drivers of unsustainability (IPBES, 2019). The notion that capitalist systems are at the root of current ecological and social crises has led many activists, civil society groups, academics, policymakers, and politicians to seek for alternative economic approaches that focus on justice and sustainability (Charonis, 2021; Westra et al., 2017). We consider alternative economic discourses to be embedded in broader transformation discourses, as they address, to varying degrees, the indirect drivers of sustainability. While alternative economic discourses are generally strong in imagining alternatives, working towards such alternatives requires strategic efforts (Barlow et al., 2022; Visseren-Hamakers and Kok, 2022b). The main objective of this article is to elucidate how various alternative economic discourses align with and differ from each other concerning their modes and strategies of transformation as presented in the academic literature. To do this, this article builds on the work of (Wright, 2019), who conceptualises different ‘modes’ of transformation, i.e., sets of strategies that have been historically important in anti-capitalist struggles. Chertkovskaya (2022) expands on this framework to better capture the efforts of alternative economic movements. We further build upon both Wright's original conceptualisation and Chertkovskaya's additions to develop the framework further (Chertkovskaya, 2022). "This paper contributes to the literature on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PostCapitalism</a> and transformations by providing a comprehensive overview of different modes and strategies of transformation by focusing on the Degrowth, Buen Vivir and Wellbeing Economy discourse. In doing so, we aim to contribute to moving the debate beyond critiques of capitalism by focussing on the paths of transformation towards alternatives. Through our categorization, we facilitate a more conscious reflection on often implicit approaches to change while also revealing sensitivity to similarities and nuances within and between the discourses, showing the breadth of the debate (Sandberg and Alvesson, 2021). The selected discourses are <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BuenVivir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BuenVivir</a>, Degrowth, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DoughnutEconomics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DoughnutEconomics</a>, Economy for the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CommonGood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CommonGood</a>, Foundational Economy, Social and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Solidarity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Solidarity</a> Economy, and Wellbeing Economy.

pesI have a proposal for a Europe-wide* experiment, that aims to bring together the movements around solidarity and ecology in order to build up the material infrastructure. I'm looking for collaborators, please DM me, and please boost this toot! Here it is briefly: We try to raise 50 000 000€ over about 5-10 years and give that money as 1000 gifts of 50k€ each to new collectives for setting up housing cooperatives and land communes. The main vehicle for the fundraiser would be crowdfunding with focus on a high volume of small, recurring donations. For example, this could be achieved with 200 000 donors, donating 5€/month on average for 50 months, or 4,17 years. That's 250€/person over four years. Each recipient collective would make a legal pact with us or a trusted third party to ensure that the property will not be sold back to the market for financial gain. Additionally collectives would go through screening to ensure alignment with a shared vision. *Even though internationalism on a global scale is important, I believe it makes sense to focus this effort geographically, to be able to have location-connected synergies between collectives. In the end we would have boosted the 'ecosystem' with a network of maybe 10-30k members and created 1000 hubs for social and ecological organizing. Additionally, we would have built up a network of Commons, that can help us gain a better understanding of this new, old, paradigm. The leftist space is full of ideas and people with motivation to work and organize together, to try new forms of living and care, to grow food and to steward the land. I want to see this potential realized, but I'm afraid most of it will not happen unless we cooperate on a broader, international scale to push things forward.<a

HydroponicTrashHow can we live "the good life"? How would it feel to radically change our social, economic, and political systems?

HydroponicTrashHygge, Buen Vivir, Solarpunk & Degrowth. During the winter, my partner and I tend to hunker down and really get into the Hygge spirit. "Hygge is a word in Danish and Norwegian that describes a mood of coziness and "comfortable conviviality" with feelings of wellness and contentment." For a video primer on Hygge (pronounced hoo-gah): <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl74ybpyNLk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl74ybpyNLk</a>Hygge captures a core feeling, that the term Buen Vivir or "good living" also captures. They both touch on being both cozy and comfortable. Taking solace in the small and little things. Focusing not on individual pleasures but sharing space with other people, and enjoying the company of each other. Both to me - capture the feeling that a solarpunk future world, or a world that the Degrowth movement aims for, more so in the day to day. There is something special about slowing down, about getting together with friends or even strangers around a fire, of sharing a home made meal or dessert. In unplugging from the capitalist system and sharing with someone without the need for exchange. In making others happy. Taking time for rest and for play, good food, good drinks, good times. Hygge should be all of the time, life should encourage leisure, play, relaxation. As opposed to the systems and social relations we have now that focus on work, consumption, and destruction. We can take time to slow down, share a homecooked meal with friends, family - either biological, adopted, or queer family, strangers, comrades, anyone. Get cozy and comfortable, share from our gardens, listen to our stories, share an embrace, or a homebrewed wine. Things can be different, and they should be. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hygge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hygge</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/solarpunk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#solarpunk</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degrowth</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/buenvivir" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#buenvivir</a>
