Nope. Capitalism is the name of the cause of that doomerism.
You don’t have to be a dirty commie to be solarpunk, but I am personally very adamant that none of the solarpunk vision can come true without a fundamental re-jiggering of our economic mindset.
capitalism in my mind can also be the solution to the climate problem while keeping our living standards significantly higher than they were even 100 years ago
i have an ev, solar, battery and heat pump, all products of capitalism
combine capitalism with some socialist polices and you have all the best places to live in the world
Sure! Let’s rein in capitalism!
This is probably somewhat pedantic but capitalism that is properly tamed by socialism is no longer capitalism. Yes, capital will always exist, but once you adopt an economic system that subjugates capital to human needs, it’s not capitalism anymore.
