It depends how you phrase it. Growth is not my first priority. But if you say "focus on growth" I could say yes to that, IF it's part of a list.
I miss having more friends here, and certain topics are almost completely absent (eg gymnastics).
But! I'm absolutely against putting growth on a higher priority than other issues, like safety, security, privacy... (Not going to expand on this, not because it's not important but because I know you know.)
But also! If you remove growth altogether from the goals, then I feel you might as well build a platform for you and your 5 friends and call it a day? I don't want an alternative for capitalism in my living room, I want an alternative for capitalism to take over the world. So yeah. Growth.
Growth AND safety. Don't make me choose, I don't agree that those are real opposites. They are turned into opposites through a scarcity context, which runs rampant, and is in itself capitalist thinking.
