i posted this on twitter but this article is interesting bc it assumes in sort of foucauldian-but-commonsense way that power MUST be dispersed BY someone, which i don't agree w inherently, bc the point of solarpunk is that its rather like power and comes from everywhere. there’s an argument to be made here about equivalent ideas like the divine right of kings- people just stopped believing in it. so it stopped.

Also the insistence that a genre of fiction like this SHOULDN’T BE political, which imo it very clearly should be? I think in context i would need to read more literary theory on political resistance in order to really establish my opinion but also I don’t think literature is anything other than emancipatory, whether that's on a personal level or a grand one.  

It’s also a breakdown of solarpunk from a perspective i dont often see, which is. fun, i guess,
