I recently readed more about it, and the association with anarchy was immediate.

Solarpunk is very vulnerable to greenwashing, it's happening now. AOC is "solarpunk" FYI. She's cool and all, but when politicians in the imperial core are "solarpunk".... yeah...

There's also a very technocratic susceptibility to exploitation. I see for example, lots of hydrogen propaganda making its way into solarpunk spaces. Basically, it's not super dogmatic, which has lots of benefits but also leaves it to be heavily exploited and co-opted, giving a "solarpunk but capitalist" greenwashing campaign a very easy path

I suppose it's possible to hear about solarpunk and misunderstand it badly enough to call yourself one without wanting degrowth or an end to capitalism.

Are you an Anarchist? The answer might surprise you!

Rules:

Be respectful
Don't be a nazi
Argue about the point and not the person
This is not the place to debate the merits of anarchism itself. While discussion is encouraged, getting in your “epic dunks on the anarkiddies” is not. As a result of the instance’s poor moderation policies and hostility toward anarchists by default, lemmygrad users are encouraged not to post here, though not explicitly disallowed if they aren’t just looking to start a fight.
