We have solarpunk’s techno-realism though. It’s not a political party, that’s why many won’t see it. But it’s definitively there… like open source projects, hardware, fediverse, and so on.

Step 1: Connect all base commodities prices

Step 2: Find tech that makes one (most likely power) cost approximately nothing, causing all the other base commodities cost roughly nothing

Step 3: Though Makerspaces with tool loan libraries/DIY/AR goggles with open source AI/ETC… make it so that anyone with base resources can make anything they could ever want

Step 4: No more need to work for stuff.

It is far easier to criticize than to do.

The purity testing will continue until morale improves.
