{"id":5236839,"uuid":"5944ff23-6cd4-11ed-a9b4-4201c0a8a0e3","name":"Toxic Grafity Anti-Growth Coalition Limited Edition Hoodie","description":"The Anti-Growth Coalition Manifesto.\n\nNever mind Liz Truss, she\u2019s a nobody going nowhere who very soon shall be forgotten, or remembered with faint embarrassment.\n\nThe right used until very recently, be very clever with their soundbites, \u201cCitizen of Nowhere\u201d was deeply sinister in a divide et impera kinda way. Al de Pfeffel\u2019s \u201cOven ready Brexit\u201d was deceptive, but plugged into a reactionary populist desire of a populus drugged on consumerism to \u201cGet [insert] Done!\u201d or \u201cMake [insert] Great Again!\u201d Cameron\u2019s \u201cBig Society\u201d and \u201cThe Greenest Government Ever\u201d was just plain deceptive. But Truss\u2019s \u201cAnti-Growth Coalition\u201d was just plain dumb.\n\nExcept, except. As an own-goal it was brilliant, the best since Southampton vs Sunderland, 2014. Divide et impera has got away with an awful lot the past two decades, certainly since the 2008-9 Financial Crash, which holed neoliberalism below the waterline. Ever since then, the right, and even sections of the left, have been flirting with differing projects based around a revival of fascism. \n\nBut The Anti-Growth Coalition! With that Truss\u2019s speechwriters have managed to unite the Anglers Society and the most extreme Eco-Warriors, Anarchists and the Liberal Democrats, the Celtic independence parties and Unionist one nation Tories, Extinction Rebellion and the National Trust, Vegans and Hunters, the Labour and Communist Parties, the BBC and Another Angry Voice, Marxists and idealists, atheists and the pious, the police and whoso they hunt. Doubtless, there are many other \u201cPersons Unknown\u201d who are part of Truss\u2019s Anti-Growth Coalition. \n\nBut Truss is a nobody. The truth she has inadvertently established will have a life well beyond her theoretical radioactive elements political life, beyond the deeply deluded UK, which still likes to imagine is the Centre of the Universe. There is indeed a movement that it anti-growth, or at least anti- the neoliberal\/fascist version of growth so eloquently expressed by Truss\u2019s hydrocarbon-funded \u201cthink tank\u201d wonks and speechwriters. \n\nOr at least those who might question \u201cgrowth\u201d, or advocate minimal growth, with what might remain of growth targeted at global social justice, or renewable or fusion energy, or education, science, and the arts. \n\nWhile back in the mid-C18th an economic system predicated on endless growth on a finite planet might have made sense. Now it, capitalism, is killing us, maybe it\u2019s time for a rethink? Even over something as innocuous and uncontroversial as, say, a four-day week or a Universal Basic Income? That\u2019d be a start! A global Zero Carbon commitment within the next decade might also help. A bit. \n\nThis image combines the original 1978 Toxic Grafity \u201cAnarchy and Peace\u201d logo, in Green and Black, with, hey guess what? \u201cAnti-Growth Coalition\u201d. The pink monster thing combines the image of a metastasising cancer cell with H.P. Lovecraft\u2019s (a notorious racist himself) Cluthu, who, as we all know, is a great friend of Humanity and this Earth. \n\nAs neoliberalism attempts to metastasise into fascism (Italy, Sweden, France? Brexit led them all; let\u2019s all flush Bibi, Bolsonaro, Modi, Putin, and Drumpff and their -isms into the cess-pit of history), it emerges as a \u201cgrowth\u201d, a cancer in the body-personal brought on by pollution and novel viruses, and a cancer on the body politic; a cancer on the face of this earth, a tumour in our hearts and brains, a THERE IS NO ALTERNATIVE Cluthu in our minds, souls, spirits.\n\nViva the Anti-Growth Coalition!\n\nTogether, our differences aside, we are strong! We may well all fall out, the Anglers Society and Extinction Rebellion, along our journey; but the journey is, perhaps, more important than the destination. Divide and rule is over!\n\nImage realisation Rebecca Diboll","brand":null,"metaTitle":"","metaDescription":"The Anti-Growth Coalition Manifesto.\n\nNever mind Liz Truss, she\u2019s a nobody going nowhere who very soon shall be forgotten, or remembered with faint em...","metaImage":null,"noIndex":false,"giftWrapCompatible":true,"approvalStatus":"approved","ecoIcons":["organic-icon.png","low-carbon-icon.png","ethical-icon.png"],"isBundle":false,"specifications":"Certified Organic Cotton Pullover Hoody, 300g\/m2.
