Friends, I know this isn't my politics channel, but I would like to remind everyone that the future envisioned by Solarpunk involves at least some level of rejection of capitalism, and people who try to pretend like it doesn't have left-philosophy as its main underpinning don't understand anything about the aesthetic or environmentalism in general.

it’s cool that autism is highly correlated with transness because those are both fucking cool shit to be. it’s not a problem, it’s not a puzzle that needs explaining, it’s just two things that fucking own and you’re welcome that we have graced you with both.
Well, like many lib-left ideologies, it operates on shifting towards more localized control and economies, but I also think the trap of that is the absence of wider chains of command that make communities resilient and allow access for higher levels of goods than what can be made by a single community. As such, I propose a model of highly mobile "guilds" of a sort that both serve as a means to educate specialists and a bureaucracy for allocation of goods and services in a post-money society. Agents of these guilds would have a hierarchy similar to what exist within soviet democracy, in which representatives of each regional iteration of the guild would elect a representative to a higher council, all the way to the top. Additionally, there would be inter-disciplinary councils, to ensure that more complex goods are getting the resources required to fabricate them. The closest thing to a central government would be a national assembly of guilds. The goal, ultimately, is to create a culture where being an expert in your field who can meet the needs of many is rewarded through things like recognition and bureaucratic power, but in a system that's fluid enough to easily dispose of those who aren't doing said tasks effectively.
Tl;dr, resembles council communism in a sense but with the councils existing within their own industries instead of generalized, to promote expertise within a field and education to do specialty tasks, with the remainder of society being free to live rather localized, pedestrian life and meet their basic needs communally.
The idea is that the lib-left sorts have access to a commune life, but still have access to higher quality goods necessary for modern living, and the supply chains necessary to rebuild after a disaster.

A few messages I sent about a hypothetical socio-economic system, yes I know there's no actual effective way to implement something like this. I am, however, interested in your thoughts.

This behavior is COMPLETELY unaceptable. How DARE you post the address of this transphobic fascist so that people can show up at his house. I would NEVER do such a thing, and if i saw someone doing it, i would NEVER screencap it and share it to my 1.1k followers.…
