    Redistribution.

    Growth is only at all needed, because of a certain group hoarding and wasting everything.

    At the current rate, growth will end all life on our planet. Just a few more years of growth, and we’ll be past the ‘no way back’ line.

      Can’t ideal communist economies also have growth? Can growth come from efficiency improvements rather than resource consumption increase?

        Sure, theoretically, after everything else has been solved and it’s what’s desired. The goal of communism is a sustainable (as much as there can be in a universe with entropy) way of life where no one goes without what they need to live. Let’s figure that part out before exploring exponential growth, instead of the other way around.
