New Economy for the Generation of Kodiak

New Economy for the Generations of Kodiak
The ecological emergency is screaming everywhere. In the temperature readings, in the water that is missing from our planet, in the glaciers that are disappearing, in the forests that are burning; in the living that is collapsing, in the injustices that are increasing, in the democracy that is receding. The promise of abundance of liberal capitalism, of those who looked at us with condescension, has been transformed into the massacre of marine and terrestrial ecosystems, into soaring prices, into hunger riots. The planetary limits have been largely exceeded. We were promised abundance, we got poverty, exploitation of people, torture of animals and destruction of the soil. The affirmation of an ecology of rupture is imperative. Our role can no longer be reduced to sounding the alarm. Our goal today is to build a culture of conquest of power in order to implement our project: eco-socialism
