“…As Marx saw, its contradictions will eventually destroy it. Numerous analysts argue that it is generating difficulties that will lead to catastrophic breakdown in the global system, including Bardi (2011), Duncan (2013), Hudson (2022), Mason (2003), Korowicz (2012), Morgan (2012), Randers (2012), Kunstler (2005) and Collins (2018), Greer (2005).

The rapidly expanding degrowth literature has focused predominantly on the case for degrowth and its goals and much less attention has been given to how it might be achieved. The following discussion is not concerned to review the current state of the discussion and refers to it only in order to develop a case for a particular approach to degrowth strategy, that is, one deriving from the simpler way perspective on the global predicament. This focuses on the alarming and poorly recognised extent to which global sustainability limits have been exceeded. When this is understood it is clear that extremely radical solutions must be sought. There has to be transition to far simpler lifestyles and systems. This requires abandoning various fundamental structures and taken-for-granted assumptions and ways. Thus it will be argued that numerous degrowth strategies are inappropriate, including attempting to reform existing governmental policies and adopting eco-socialist goals and means. This perspective on the situation has coercive implications for viable strategy. One major implication of the simpler way perspective is that ends and means must be anarchist.
