I don't mean better for you or me but better in general. Do you believe our species will ever reach some form of enlightenment or will we destroy ourselves?

I like all the data and info you are telling here! Now I can think in a more structured way and logic about society structure. But you don't think that being able to imagine a better and sustainable future is not superstructure and all the solar-energy base, and solarpunk prompts of the literature, imagining other ways of production more anarchic and horizontal interactions between people and slow only with the necessary is not a base? It talks about means of production and relationship of production. It's already proven that better and more technology don't make us life better, but more fast and contaminated.

I know, I'm probably too idealistic, and I have to think in a more pragmatic way, but really learn about solarpunk what the first thing that let me hope in a better future in this word that is easier to think about the end of the word than the end of capitalism and I think that's important.

An imagined, hypothetical base is not a real, existing base, and thus it can't project the superstructure but be a part of an existing superstructure. That's why the existing base helps distort it and even coopt it.
