Abstract

The article explores the three main dilemmas faced by the so-called Green New Deals: the biophysical dilemma posed by their energy and material costs, the political dilemma posed by their extractivist, colonial and authoritarian inertias, and, finally, the cultural dilemma linked to the social, electoral and discursive imaginaries that these proposals reinforce. In the center of the triangle formed by these Green New Dilemmas, the text states what it considers to be the greatest limitation of these proposals: the strategic and structural hesitation with respect to their relationship with the capitalist mode of production. As a way out of these dilemmas, the article defends a democratic and internationalist degrowth that does not foster political hope and technological optimism based on the creation and discursive abstraction of large «green sacrifice zones».
