    It’s focused after they realize what is effective. The BPP had a plan after canned food drives and fund raisers weren’t. Why does there have to be a central organ for it to be a movement? I never claim for solarpunk to be an organization. But at this point I feel like you intentionally missing the point. Thanks for the talk though.

    That’s a good thing! would still try to learn and read Theory outside of a solarpunk context though.

    I’ve picked up Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin at the request of a comrade at our mutual aid organization. But I still don’t think you understand that Solarpunk is a point of intersection to extend a post scarcity, environmental sustainability and social justice to people that are less aware of these concepts.

    Except movements are rarely focused like that. I doubt The Black Panthers knew school lunches and child care were going to be the traction they needed when they started theirs. Just like I doubt the kid that just heard of solarpunk and wants to learn how to grow veggies because of it, understands what their effort might do to change their community.

    I’ll admit solarpunk is very much in a spaghetti on the wall phase rn. But it’s also barely a decade old.

    I’ve not been aware of ecofascist cooping the movement. But I imagine the vegan mods would sus that out quickly 😜

    I suppose my point is that a movement doesn’t have to know everything about itself to be effective and while anecdotal; I’ve learned a lot about communism/socialism and mutual aid from solarpunk spaces.

    Idk why you think it has to have theory or praxis to be a movement. It does have a manifesto but I kinda doubt you care about that. There’s enough people that are interested in the topics that solarpunk encompasses to give it legitimacy.

    Tbh your position is kinda disenfranchising to people that got into gardening, anti consumption, diy, gurilla grafting or any other facet of solarpunk because of it being under the umbrella.
