"The degrowth movement, then, is about WILLINGLY reducing extraction and consumption and increasing collective control of resources, social and ecological protections and opportunities for living in deep relationship with our natural and human communities, in order to bring our civilization into balance with what our planet can support."

Awesome. You and the other people who feel the same way should start doing that immediately and let everyone else do what they want to do. Leave the government and coercion out of it, and let those who WILLINGLY want to consume less and want to live in a deep relationship with natural and human whatevers live that way. Actually you can do that right now with out getting all up in anyone else's business. Good luck!
