Anarchism

I really like it for two things first It could be another radicalization vector for people inside not that radical movement's like some parts of the climate movement. And second it gives me and my comrades a vision and a world to fight for. There is a reason that optimism stands in the two first lines inside the Solarpunk manifesto.

We are solarpunks because optimism has been taken away from us and we are trying to take it back.

We are solarpunks because the only other options are denial or despair.

Also you are completely right with it being Anarchist:

At its core, Solarpunk is a vision of a future that embodies the best of what humanity can achieve: a post-scarcity, post-hierarchy, post-capitalistic world where humanity sees itself as part of nature and clean energy replaces fossil fuels.

This has some good thoughts on the matter: https://solarpunkanarchists.com/2018/05/15/solarpunk-as-anarchist-infrapolitics/

a desirable vision is needed.

I'm not an anarchist personally but I do like solarpunk and the optimistic view of the future. A solarpunk world looks like one worth building towards and living in. I think the left could use more optimistic visions of the future.

I think there are some valid aspects of it that we will most likely be forced to accepted within the next 20 years, as climate change begins to affect us all in a very severe manner.

Solarpunk could've been an update to stale sub-ideologies of Anarchism.

In online communities Solarpunk unfortunately is associated with greenwashing soil sealing, motorised individual transport and nuclear industry and others. This status makes it a product of climate delay propaganda currently and thus unusable.

A lot of art I've seen from it has been from artists and not engineers. I know may sound like an odd complaint, but it has put me off from looking in deeper. I've looked at some of the art and just gone "it would be nice if it COULD work like that." The one that I see frequently enough is the multistory building with different floors of farming.

I know art isn't implementation. But the fact people think moving dirt from a place with good soil and conditions to growing plants to an area that is shit for it is just not looking at the consequences.

It's like how the solution to cars aren't EV's, even if EV's seem surface level obvious.

I love the aesthetic and ideas, but personally I couldn't get into it that much. It ~~seems~~ feels too unrealistic and a little like greenwashing (renewable energy and other high-tech is core to the ideology).

A book featuring the style which I really liked was A Psalm for the Wild-Built.
