  • My guy, you are aware the the whole point of the solar punk movement is about using daydreaming and art about an ideal utopia to help bring it about right? Imagination is one of humanity's superpowers, and I'm currently building the class conciousness necessary to have an actionable future, where the end goal is an extremely solar punk esc future, I am not under the illusion that I will live to seek the future I am fighting for, but that doesnt mean I'm not going to keep working towards it by spreading its message.

  • 🤓

  • Says the user, who's last post was wishing for more porn on the internet, bahahaha

  • The second i read this comment, the State Anthem of the USSR got stuck in my head.

  • If one is a student if economics, naming a book on economics to confirm your bonafides is as low a bar to jump over as humanly possible. Books aren't cringe, you are just basic.

  • Bruh, Venezuela has some of the dirtiest crude on the planet and lacks the ability to refine it themselves relying on American refineries which have had an embargo against importing Venezuelan oil till last year, you are so out of yout depth in global economics is laughable.

  • Lol clearly you dont.

  • Also if humans are naturally greedy it would make even less sense to stick with a capitalist system

  • Pretty good till the price of oil plummeted, single resource economies are ticking time bombs.

  • Shits on communism, has no basic understanding of how a centrally run economy functions.

  • To each according to their needs from each according to their abilities, and I love how you are just going to ignore how labor is forced in a capitalist system by the threat of dying on the streets if you dont show up to work. Labor is forced in America every damn day.

  • Its not economically feasible because modern economics functions to create monetary value not tangible value for our society. You shouldn't view it through the lense of what is "economically feasible" we should view it through the lense of what we should value as a society. Homelessness exists as a motivating coercive force to keep us buying into a system that would kick us to the curb if any of us were dealt a few bad hands in life. Its why our insurance is tied to our employment. The system is fundamentally broken for humanity to exsist inside of healthily, so much so that alot of us cant even imagine a society outside of it.

  • So you haven't read a book on economics since you graduated, got it.

  • My guy, we have solved plumbing. You lack vision, i dont want to tax the rich, I want to abolish the system that allows the rich to exist in the first place.

  • Here's the thing, we should strive for an ideal world.

  • Yes.

  • So why do folks who speculate and gamble with more money than a plumber will see in their lifetime make so much money while providing effectively nothing of value to society?

  • Single income families should be allowed to exist, families are more important than corporate profits. Furthermore it is unrealistic to not work and just collect rent from folks who do

  • I'll have to add that to my list, always looking to learn more.
