If it's not in the same political camp then why does the article say that we need to redistribute our resources before we can even start with degrowth? They're basically asking for the same thing communists are asking for.
Where ? I see "before", not "after".
> This is how degrowthers envision the process: After a reduction in material and energy consumption, which will constrict the economy, there should also be a redistribution of existing wealth, and a transition from a materialistic society to one in which the values are based on simpler lifestyles and unpaid work and activities.
And equating redistribution with communism is silly - top income tax rates in the US were the highest - around 80%-90% during MacCarthyism !
