Yeah, solarpunk is obviously a reactionary aesthetic. You can read the manifestos of its popularizers and very clearly see the class position of the art movement. How is lionizing the artisan and other middle classes, a reduction in productive capacity, and its desire to revive dead art styles outside of their historical context not reactionary? Stop with the solarpunk and "degrowth" and read more Soviet sci-fi and Chinese five-year plans.

whats wrong with degrowth? solely educational question if you feel like replying

Because good degrowth is indistinguishable from socialist five-year plans, and bad degrowth is indistinguishable from austerity. I don't like Saitō, but from what I've read so far from Hickel, his work is worthwhile.
