The Roadmap, however admirable in ambition (to eradicate poverty, restore fairness and reduce the ecological footprint) fails to articulate a vision for system change and thus fails to link the problems it identifies to the fundamental logic of capitalism.
Changing the rules within which our economies operate – either locally or globally will not be sufficient.
We need to move to a system whose logic is consistent with degrowth.
That cannot be achieved within a capitalist structure.
The question is how to move beyond that and create a socialist society.
