(bc sharing is caring) for new readers: this is written in 2nd POV (shout-out GingerBiccie), and there is not one but TWO appendixes in the back of the book.

notbillnye commented on notbillnye's review of Slow Down: The Degrowth Manifesto
i picked up this book due to a recommendation as a starting point for de-growth in consumption, capitalism, and fighting climate change. after finishing, i'm unsure if this is a great starting point, but it's a useful manifesto nonetheless. KĹhei SaitĹ condenses decades of work on climate change, marxism and capitalism, and the fight for mutual aid in a short, declarative argument on how global countries need to change our consumption and our relationship to the environment. most of this is digestible, though KĹhei relies majority of his argument on Karl Marx's ideology and a new perspective of his work. my very general, very surface level knowledge of marxism was enough to float by, but affected my agreement with this being a starting point to learn about degrowth. this was more focused on what's not working, what got us here, and where does that leave us? this is a call to action to save our planet, save our global neighbors, and to save our collect future.

Alright, the plot is plotting, the narrative is clicking and much easier to follow. This book is shockingly descriptive in its violence, but I think that certainly adds to the gravity and weight of what is unfolding. It also does a great job at demonstrating not only how ruthless the ruling class is, but their reaction to the violence is almost as shocking as the violence itself. Also the way the book is structured has natural pause points, I thought in my head the whole 4 chapter thing was going to mess with me but the way the structure works, the starts of scenes feel like natural pause points.
