    It helps, that’s for sure. Is just that, as an effort, is insufficient. I just want the readers to not lose focus on the origin of the problem, which is the system of power.

    You can’t ask the butcher to stop killing, his business is butchering. I understand what you are saying and, of course, keep up the good work fellow solarpunk. What I’m trying to say is that: making political demands to the state of capital has serious limits, and we need to keep on doing that WHILE pre-configurating socio-political organizations. That way we can make resonant means and ends.

    Please, do keep in mind that this point of view is created in a “let’s hurry” context. Since houses all around where I was born are affected by landslides and overflowing rivers. And waiting for those politics to work will mean death, or at least sickness or famine for us.

      You can’t change the system of power unless you hold power. So yes, there’s going to be a fair bit of working within the system as we get there.
