I just can't help but think this is incredibly naive. Yes, the earth is finite and the exponential growth of the economy will soon cease. However, humans are a highly k-selected species with a great deal of practice living in finite spaces. The solution involves killing your neighbor.
I think everyone who grew up before 1960 or so would find this very natural and realistic if slightly depressing, but for the past 50 years or so the West has been suffering from the Leftist delusion, spread by their complete control of the media, that if we just put the Left in charge everyone can have everything they want. It has never worked in the past (Venezuela now has government enforced slavery, hooray) and more and more people are realizing that it will never work in the future.
Highly k-selected people don't care about your plans give everyone a small environmentally friendly slice of the planet. They are going to come fuck you up and take your shit. Trump is their candidate, and if he doesn't work (and he won't, IMO) we will see a war in the near future.

Liberalism and pussy-pacifism don't necessarily go together, even though they've been branded that way. Don't forget that in many ways Hitler and his party were big-time socialists who wanted to create a huge welfare state for German people and loathed some of the more parasitic aspects of free market economics... and were arguably the most "k-selected" people of all time.
