How Ecosocialism in New Millennial Political Ecology Leads Degrowth Forward into the Emergence of [Bioregional] New Local ‘Green Economies.’

A long-form essay on degrowth, permaculture, and the patient work of living within limits, written to be sat with, not skimmed.

What this is

Not a paper. A lived argument.

This is a single, deliberately non-academic essay: part philosophy, part field notes from the garden, part testimony. It argues that the way out of ecological collapse is not a greener engine of growth but a humane, deliberate degrowth: choosing what to keep alive, and tending it well.

Written over years of permaculture practice and quiet study, it reads like a long conversation with someone who has actually grown food, buried friends, and kept thinking anyway. Buy it once; it is yours to return to for life.


Here is a free excerpt of the essay.

All the ways the sociological environment can exist are: being, form, mobility, and causality. When Degrowth is relegated to causality, it is quantified as ‘Adaptation.’ There is no Climate Change on a planetary timeline of the Symbiocene. Only a water-planet synonymous with ‘adaptation.’ Post-pandemic, Ecosocialism can exist as applied post-modernism in an Era of Climate Change, not a Digital Age. Technology will be there…

Bioregional New Localism is a duplicatable, Cooperative model to procure logistical autonomy between the global north and the global south. Here, post-capitalism in plurality to sustainable capitalism ‘on-paper’ is hypothetical to meta-ethics that lends itself to normative ethics in plurality to applied-ethics [on-paper].
