    What’s the solar punk plan to overthrow or supplant capitalism? Maybe the creator has misconceptions about solarpunk and its aesthetics, but his description of fascism seemed keenly inciteful. To dismiss the broader narrative because of an instance of disagreement is shortsighted.

      The answer to this is a bit nuanced since solarpunk is not a political movement per se. Still, to reply to your question as best as I could say through political approaches like social ecology and anarchy, but I wouldn’t want to restrict it.

        Watched both of Andrewism’s solarpunk videos, which are very inspiring and hopeful. But , just keeping it real, I fail to see how driving electric cars and buying solar panels is going to hinder capitalism. Wishcasting for the future is not praxis in the present. To me, the genre of solarpunk should be a depiction of an oil pipeline exploding.
