Transformaatiokeskeisyys

Transformaatiokeskeisyys refers to a philosophical and political concept that emphasizes fundamental societal transformation rather than incremental change. It posits that existing structures and systems are deeply flawed and cannot be reformed sufficiently to address pressing issues like inequality, environmental degradation, or injustice. Therefore, a radical overhaul or complete reimagining of societal organization is deemed necessary.

This perspective often critiques gradualism and reformist approaches as insufficient, arguing that they merely patch over underlying problems without challenging the root causes. Proponents of transformaatiokeskeisyys believe that true progress requires a paradigm shift, a redefinition of values, and the creation of new social, economic, and political arrangements. The specific nature of the desired transformation can vary widely, encompassing ideas from various socialist, anarchist, eco-socialist, and feminist traditions, among others. The core idea, however, remains the necessity of a profound and systemic change.
