Solarpunk: the utopia GenZ could build

Solarpunk: la utopía que la GenZ podría construir -
I want a society designed around people.
Not quarterly profits.
Not shareholder value.
Not “disruption.”
Not making some tech bro with a rocket fetish another billion richer.And certainly not teaching human beings to arrange their lives around whatever algorithm happens to be hungry today.
Technology is a tool.
A magnificent one! Give me solar panels, open-source software, accessible public transport, robots doing the filthy and dangerous jobs, libraries full of knowledge, green cities, beautiful trains, community gardens, and machines that quietly make everyone's lives easier.
But the question should always be:
“Does this make human life better?”Not:
“Can we monetise it?”
Not:
“Can we automate it?”
Not:
“Can we scale it to infinity?”And definitely not:
“Can we make people click on it 47 times before they can see the thing they actually wanted?”
😌I don't want a shiny dystopia with better branding.
I want technology serving people.
Cities serving communities.
Economies serving human flourishing.
Humanity living as part of nature rather than treating the planet like a particularly inconvenient warehouse.
Build things that help us live.
Build things that help us care for one another.
Build things that give people more time to be alive.And if your business model requires everyone to be miserable so that you can become a trillionaire…
Darling.
Perhaps your business model is the thing that needs disrupting. 💅🌱

And the future of capitalism is:
Don't you dare burn our company to the ground,
or we will issue another sternly worded press release.

Three essays castigating Europe. The coda declines the exam. You cannot out-parasite the original parasite. Europe's real option: pre-Friedman capitalism, upgraded.

Imagine if a person's worth and profile was measured like this!

In an unsustainable, oppressive society, it is quixotic to imagine that we could manage our survival in a sustainable, egalitarian way.
Mutual aid must not be a symptomatic treatment to address the systemic ills of capitalism, but a step towards revolutionary change.

This is an inspiring thread. What if the new world is already here, and just needs nurturing? That sounds like a credible world view!

If we ever do get such news in English North America, I have yet to see it. #ThomasPiketty does, however, show in continental Europe now and then, taunting with crazy notions like:
"A report coordinated by the economist suggests: it is possible to eliminate poverty, reduce working hours by half and curb global warming. Prerequisites: frontal attack on inequality and political and economic transformation. What are the paths?"

📨 In the latest Cycles Hyped No More #newsletter:
Why Don’t We Use Software Created by Local Monasteries? (Or, How to Thrive in a #PostCapitalism World)
We need to wrest software away from the Capitalists. We need other models, other forms of collectives which produce software—not to turn a profit, but to save men’s souls (metaphorically speaking of course).
This essay may start out in an odd place, but I *swear* it ends up in a good place you'll find intriguing. 😂

This https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/economy/2026/4/8/in-strait-of-hormuz-iran-and-china-take-aim-at-us-dollar-hegemony is a move fit for the polycrisis! and this (quote below) is why I trust the multipolar (egalitarian) system can succeed, not why it has mountains to climb:
"Unlike the dollar, the yuan is not freely convertible due to Beijing’s strict capital controls, meaning that businesses and institutions cannot exchange it for other currencies or move it across borders at will."

17 parole che forse non tutti conoscono ma che è necessario sapere per fare un coraggioso passo in avanti.
Il video di @timparrique è al momento solo su YouTube però merita di essere visto e ascoltato.
È un grido per avere il coraggio di passare ai fatti dopo decenni di parole.
Si può fare, già si fa.

What form (if any) would copyright take in a post-capitalist society?

So, what happens after we overthrow the Empire? For example, do all dwellings become the personal property of whoever is actually living in them?
What happens to the mansions of the rich, such as Mar-A-Lago and the White House? Break them up into rent-free apartments? Ditto for hotels and other large buildings that don't have other uses?

Stewarding the Digital Commons
Beyond the extractive models of venture capital and the burnout of unsupported altruism lies a third way: stewarding our essential digital infrastructure as a commons. Let's build a sustainable future for open source.https://web.brid.gy/r/https://sein.com.au/articles/stewarding-the-digital-commons/

> Yes, but within that, a Universal Basic Income is still an important attribute of humane economies and, arguably, of all future (AI) economies.
The problem is that income can always be stolen. But if people have the right to food, shelter, power, and communication (including the internet) as basic human rights, that's not something that can be stolen. They're hungry; they go get food from their community. If a thief wants their food, what's the point? The thief can go get food themselves (they're human too), in which case THEY'RE NOT A THIEF!
And if the purported victim somehow has their food taken, they can always go get more. If someone is grossly abusing their right to food, the community can always meet democratically and decide what to do about it. They can always choose to expel the malefactor from their community; they're free to go elsewhere for their needs.
What do you think?

Agreed, except it should be running over ALL money - including the very concept of money, itself.
We'd be better off without it. But it's such a huge conceptual leap that most people can't envision it!

What would you do if you didn't have to work for a living, but were expected to use your skills or abilities to contribute towards the social good? For at least a few hours every week?
I can think of a number of things that I'd like to do:
• Cook for others
• Read to children and adults
• Build bookcases and other simple structures
• Teach basic computer skills, spreadsheets, word processing
• Edit and rewrite
• Act
• Run tabletop roleplaying games...I'm sure there's more, but I'm not entirely used to thinking this way!

Eroding the market’s hidden hand: toward a Post-Capitalist
media systemVictor Pickard
(Communication, Culture and Critique, 2025, 18, 282–284)
"Media-related problems facing democratic societies around the world today often stem from various kinds of market failures and structural limitations endemic to all capitalist media systems. Yet, the capitalist logics at the root of these problems largely escape critical analysis in communication research. Working against such “capitalist media realism,” this article begins to interrogate these logics and provides a preliminary framework for gradually eroding them in favor of a less capitalist and more democratic media system."
