Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 129 Degrowth is a death cult. Degrowth means starving while you freeze to death in the dark. That said, Degrowth Communism is something more. Specifically, it's something that should be called "Degrowth Distributism," and it's the overarching plan of the United Nations, World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, and the rest operating under the brand name of the "well-being economy." In this long and detailed episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes apart the Marxist manipulations of the key words, "scarcity," "wealth," and "abundance," necessary to lure the world into this devious trap. By tracing the seventh chapter of Kohei Saito's recent book Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism (https://amzn.to/47x5nwL), he's able to unlock the mystery of the what, why, and how for the destination point of this global Communist revolution and explain its fascistic corporate subsidiary structure in unprecedented clarity. Join him to see the big picture.

0:00.0	The Hey everybody this is James Lindsay and you're listening to the new Discourses
0:23.0	podcast and we're talking about de-growth as a matter of fact what we're talking about
0:27.1	is sort of the goal of de-growth and the lies used to create the momentum for de-growth and what's really going on with the whole
0:35.0	agenda behind de-growth, World Economic Forum, United Nations, the whole thing, which
0:40.3	means what we're actually going to talk about is sort of the birth of the well-being economy,
0:45.8	which is not exactly based on well-being, as you've heard in some of the other episodes that I've done talking either about
0:54.4	de-growth communism or sustainability as a form of tyranny or ESG. This is really or the British absolute zero program. This is really a disaster in the making.
1:08.0	Maybe of unprecedented scale. So what this is really about you hear the words de-growth and what you need to
1:16.7	Here is starving to death while you freeze in the dark or starving while you freeze to death in the dark depending on how you like it.
1:25.0	So all of my friends in those northern states that are all in on this crap, like Minnesota, all of my Canadian girls and I guess Canadian guys out there this is dedicated to you
1:36.7	because you're gonna starve while you freeze to death in the dark under de-growth policy unless we're able to stop this.
1:47.0	And to make the point, I'm actually, this is going to take a little bit of time,
1:50.0	I want to go through the majority of chapter 7 I'm not going to do quite all of it
1:56.2	chapter 7 of cohe siteos new book relatively new a few years old called Marx in the Anthropocene toward a theory of de-growth communism.
2:07.0	And I want to talk about chapter 7, because this is, I mean, there's a lot in the book,
2:11.0	there are a lot of things that I could take time to discuss
2:13.4	there's some very kind of interesting stuff from a technical Marxist perspective if you
2:18.5	wanted to demystify Marxism and understand it a little bit better kind of earlier in the book really in the third chapter
2:25.7	the introduction maybe is a giveaway but I didn't really like click in how in the world they can
2:31.1	possibly think this is a good idea until I read chapter 7,
2:36.0	which is the last substantive chapter in the book, which is titled The Abundance of Wealth
2:41.0	in De Growth Communism. Now there's an asterisk after that which goes
