  Every happy person depicted in solarpunk artwork is the survivor of a mass casualty event and one of the few lucky people who aren't enslaved in manual labor colonies. That's the only way the solarpunk economy makes any sense.

    > Every happy person depicted in solarpunk artwork is the survivor of a mass casualty event Maybe ecological collapse after decades of growing the economy. After all, shareholder are worth more than humans :) > one of the few lucky people who aren't enslaved in manual labor Actually, we got quite a few of them, right now.

      True. I will give the Solarpunk people that much. Like Marx they have identified a real problem with society. Like Marx their proposed solution isn't going to work. In some respects it reminds me of this obscure, old web comic, in which the protagonists embark on their glorious future but forget to bring their inexhaustible labor robots. https://www.angryflower.com/348.html https://www.angryflower.com/348.html
