Why, in our affluent society, do so many people live in poverty, without access to health care, working multiple jobs, and are nevertheless unable to make ends meet, with no future prospects, while the planet is burning?
In his international bestseller, Kohei Saito argues that while unfettered capitalism is often blamed for inequality and climate change, subsequent calls for “sustainable growth” and a “Green New Deal” are a dangerous compromise. Capitalism creates artificial scarcity by pursuing profit based on the value of products rather than their usefulness and by putting perpetual growth above all else. It is therefore impossible to reverse climate change in a capitalist society; in fact, the system that caused the problem in the first place cannot be an integral part of the solution.
Instead, Saito advocates for degrowth and deceleration, which he conceives as the slowing of economic activity through the democratic reform of labor and production. In practical terms, he argues for the following:
the end of mass production and mass consumption.
decarbonization through shorter working hours.
the prioritization of essential labor over corporate profits.
By returning to a system of social ownership, he argues, we can restore abundance and focus on those activities that are essential for human life, effectively reversing climate change and saving the planet.

@freepalestine, I looked through your uploads and tried to download some Palestine books but it says they are no longer there. Were they removed?
Examples:
What is Modern Israel? - Yakov M. Rabkin
Europe’s Alliance with Israel Aiding the Occupation - David Cronin

@suckdeep100 they were high quality robo-reads and that was deemed a no-no by the admin gods so they’re gone. I can share the hash though if you want..
