The funny thing about degrowth is that it requires no sponsors or even opponents, because it's gonna happen regardless, whether "degrowthers" or "growth Marxists" wish it
It's like someone railing against the so-called pro-hurricane faction, kinda misses the whole point of reality
Degrowth is essentially a strategy of cutting back on energy inputs in order to prevent catastrophic climate change. It simply described a possible pathway to stay below 1.5°C of warming. I use the past tense because we already passed that threshold unfortunately. What you're calling degrowth is instead that catastrophic climate change will destroy the material basis for our current modern civilization, thus reducing energy inputs (and presumably ending further anthropogenic warming).
So, I think these are quite different. Strategy to avoid apocalypse vs result of apocalypse
Intentional degrowth on terms we make ourselves, versus sudden emergent degrowth from critical existence failure.
