Effective political action is focused and intentional. The BPP had a plan. There is no central solarpunk organ for democratic decision making, there is no party program. They have nothing that would make them an effective org.

Idk why you think it has to have theory or praxis to be a movement.
If it doesn’t have ideas and it isn’t testing those ideas through social practice it isn’t a movement?
owning a house and having people pay you money so they can live there is criminal”
The system that makes housing operate that way is criminal. Housing should not be a commodity
but if you go straight to some sort of off-the-wall ideology and you’re very loud about it without discussing the nuances
Honestly in most discussions I find the communists to be the more nuanced of the bunch.
You sound like you need a peasant’s revolution
I mean this sincerely; please move. If you are correct, you will benefit the world overall and yourself.
Do you know how much money it takes to move? Lol
I have only read “Das Kapital”, and only by translation. Marx directly asserts the equivalency between the value of a good, and the amount of labor-time that it takes to produce that good on average (accounting for the labor-time that it took to produce tools and raw materials necessary to that process). That is the labor theory of value in a nutshell.
Frankly, this is summary as reductive as Ricardo’s initial theory, and not what Marx wrote
If you believe that the scarcity we face is largely artificial, then either move to a country further on its way to communism, or start a company that will pay workers a more equal share of the value they produce.
Lol yeah gonna abolish the commodity form by starting a company. You didn’t read capital lol
Found the idle rent seeker, or worse, a bootlicker for idle rent seekers.
There is a reason why capitalists and socialists both hate landlords, they are a relic of feudalism.
Generally the comments I get are when I put in effort to my appearance. Putting together a nice outfit, accessorizing, doing something with my hair, putting on a good perfume for the vibe, that sort of thing.
It gives me confidence and a mixture of that + demonstrating thought/intentionality is what I think is what is hot to folks. At least that is my perspective on it when admiring other femmes. I feel like it is something anyone can do in their own way?
I get that men might be afraid of like, being called gay for putting effort into their appearance, but honestly just not having a thin skin is an attractive feature in someone.
Every self professed attempt in history to enact socialism either has already been declared not good enough to count as socialism, or will be declared as such in the future, when it gets even worse.
Declared by who? I would much rather be living in a tier 1 city in China right now personally. Or in Cuba if the US ever stopped strangling it.
The labor theory of value is so poor as to be indefensible
I agree, David Ricardo was incorrect, and Marx’s refutation in his theory of value explains the creation of value much better. (Imagine reading Marx and not Wikipedia on Marx)
and scarcity is a property of nature, rather than capitalism
Scarcity is a property of nature and artificial scarcity is a product of commodity fetishism (necessary for capitalism to function)
Okay, do you think people have the right to get angry at problems they have in their life due to an incredibly violent and inefficient system?
Okay so you want a hot war between Russia and NATO and you think that would be less violent?
Where are you getting your information from?
Predatory lesbian brainworms, I have forced myself to set the benchmark of “if someone repeatedly compliments your appearance they will probably be flattered even if they don’t reciprocate” and that has helped.
Told person who do not know the difference between authoritarian capitalistic dictatorship and commuism state.
Gonna throw out the word authoritarian because it is an empty signifier.
If China is a capitalist dictatorship why is the economy mostly publicly owned, with the percentage growing? Why does its government have a 95 percent approval rating according to a Harvard study, and why do innovations in participatory democracy emerge from China?
I just lurked into your account, this explains a LOT xD
Wow, what a vile little weirdo treating me being openly trans as some own.
Capitalism requires state subservience to the market as well, which doesn’t exist in China.
“Common sense”, aka you don’t know shit about how to define capitalism or about the political economy of China and insist that your poorly developed ideas are self evident.
Oh my god I didn’t consider what the brilliant minds of a duck duck go- wait you didn’t even cite where the definition is from?
Lol
All capitalism requires a state, the fact that you call an alternate system “state capitalism” just goes to show that you need to do more research on what capitalism is.
Tencent existing as a private enterprise is compatible with the statement you are responding to.
Run by communists with a majority public sector and control of private enterprise? Hmm. Doesn’t sound correct.
No, it wasn’t. Have you read any of the first hand accounts of the BPP?
The point of movements is to accomplish things. Solarpunk isn’t a movement if there is no theory of change.
