I'm a proponent of the de-growth movement, but I have zero faith that it will be implemented in the way it should be implemented. Yeah, we will reach the limit of growth, but it's going to.be a rude awakening for all involved, specially and unfortunately for those in developing countries.

We know how we'd like things to be, how things should be, but people would be lying if they tell you they know the answer of how to (realistically) get there.

We have some good theories, yes, goverments in the world should come out and say let's start by growing a bit less every year, going from growth to no-growth to de-growth in a transitional period and do a soft landing of the global economies, which in turn would solve the climate change issues...but how likely is that to happen?

You don't think they don't know that's what should be done, yet there's zero chance of that happening? And what are the chances of a societal revolution forcing them to adopt those changes? Also zero.

You people work in grocery stores.  What is this "should" business?  I have a 7 year old nephew that wouldn't ask for your opinion on how to accomplish anything or any normative oughts about a world model.  Get fucking real.


 

Inequality and hyerarchization started with the agricultural revolution +10000 years ago, an really consolidated during the Bronze Age.

There's been much talk about the Vinĉa and the Cucuteni/Trypillia cultures, both considered among the first if not the first european civilizations , dating to 5500 BC, one in present day Serbia and the other in present day Moldova. They have a low level of social stratification and no sign of armed conflicts.

And yet the Bronze Age of Mycenaean Greece was more a functioning and productive society than any communist shithole in the past 100 years.
