>Degrowth is now a buzz word in left-leaning and academic circles around the world

Ted Kaczynski and other far-right thinkers (e.g. Pentti Linkola) have been advocating for shrinking the economy for decades.

It’s not a left/right issue and one side doesn’t have a monopoly on anti-materialism.

I'm not sure how you characterize Kaczynski as far-right. He was an anarchist.
He criticized the anarchi-primitive view heavily. He was mostly just against technological advancement.

But I wouldn’t classify anarchism as left-wing either.
