Solar Punk is just another version of the Nordic model

Tell me you've never worked manual labour without telling me you've never worked manual labour.
There's always lads standing about, having a smoke, chatting shite, it's not all swinging hammers and rolling up your sleeves. Labour is hard, people take rests all the time without it being an official break.
But regardless, to call a movement fascist because their art doesn't depict someone swinging a hammer in every image is bonkers.
True liberation of the workers involves less work for the workers. As the Greeks put it, we should be eating figs, making art, and having orgies once our needs are met. Not working more for the sake of working. Solarpunk is utopian, utopia means rest and relaxation for the working class, not Sisyphean toil.
Ah yes, the labour is implied by people standing around.
What I actually said is that solar-punk is as compatible with fascism as it is with socialism. The society it depicts could be a socialist one or it could be one built on slave labor. Nobody is talking about any Sisyphean toil here. That's just a straw man you're building.
Your argument boils down to this then.
Beyond looking at some pretty pictures, you've clearly read fuck all about Solarpunk if you think it's normal to say it could be built on slave labour. It's generally depicted as some form of anarcho-communism, although other flavours do exist. But I guess that's not your flavour of left, not Soviet enough for you, and must therefore be brandished as bad, evil, and fascist.
As usual, the Marxist Leninists stomp on the Anarchists at the first opportunity. Aiding the Capitalists while professing to be on the side of the workers.
Give some manual labour a go instead of putting down other left movements. Actually do some physically demanding work. It might help you appreciate why people who swing hammers all day, every day, don't want to see hammers in their art after work.
lots of MLs and other statists in here clowning on OP.
Such a God damn victim. Do you realize how silly this rhetorical tact of smol bean anarchists bullied by the reds looks to anyone who isn't an anarchist or a lib?
I'm begging you, tell me about Spain next. I'm almost there.
