Capitalism is often modernised and stabilised by its very critics. Gramsci called this paradox a 'passive revolution'. What are the pitfalls through which critique becomes absorbed? This question is taken up using a Cultural Political Economy approach for analysing the resistant potential of 'degrowth discourses' against the neoliberal hegemony. Degrowth advocates an economy without growth in order to achieve the transformation that is necessary in ecological and social terms. It thus does not follow the neoliberal idea of green capitalism that already has absorbed much environmental critique. This paper argues that degrowth needs to be further differentiated in order to draw any conclusions about its counter-hegemonic potential. Three dimensions are identified for differentiating sub-hegemonic from counter-hegemonic degrowth positions: the mode of growth critique, the interpellation of the individual and the subsequent actions motivated.

Degrowth 对新自由主义的真正革命性反运动有多远？

资本主义经常被其批评者现代化和稳定。葛兰西称这个悖论为“被动革命”。批评被吸收的陷阱是什么？使用文化政治经济学的方法来分析这个问题，以分析“去增长话语”对新自由主义霸权的抵抗潜力。Degrowth 主张经济没有增长，以实现生态和社会方面必要的转型。因此，它不遵循已经吸收了很多环境批评的绿色资本主义的新自由主义思想。本文认为，需要进一步区分去增长，以便对其反霸权潜力得出任何结论。
