definition: green democratic revolution

• Schneider proposes this strategy is more pragmatic than either green growth or degrowth. The words are chosen carefully:
  • green - obvious
  • democratic - authentic equal power of the people
  • revolution - because we are at the precipice, a fast evolution, a rEVOLUTION is necessary
• He finds both of these current approaches problematic:
  • green growth employs the same elite debt-based growth logic that contributed to the fossil growth economy
  • degrowth is a terrible term for climate communications which brings the wrong immediate connotations to the masses so creates unnecessary friction at the outset for any strategy that needs to win over the masses.
