In this period I was learning about different systems for recycling and reusing plastic from a DIY perspective, when I came to know about this open hardware.

It seems like so much of social ecology is centered around Bookchin. His ideas are certainly useful, and I don’t have anything major to take issue with him for. But he is still one guy, and it’s pretty inconsistent with a movement growing from anarchism to uphold individual people as heroes. He’s also a cis white man from...

I often see mentions of the disunity in the left and it being a real show stopper for achieving anything meaningful. Whats your take on that and also do you have any reasons(experiences, arguments etc) for that?

Hey! After seeing the main Anarchist sub on another instance be a bit of a shit show this one seems awesome and I do love me some solarpunk so this instance seems pretty cool as well....

I voted for the “harm reduction” vote in the 2016 Presidential election. Mar Roxas wasn’t great, but he was better than Duterte. Surprise, surprise, Duterte won. Hundreds of thousands died....

Hey I am currently in the privileged position to think about what I do with the money I saved as an emergency fund. Do I put it in an account that gets interest so less gets lost to inflation?...

Like maybe the day might still get called monday, but will it have the same or similar meaning (aka people hate monday as the start of the work/school week)?

Rest in power, we lost a real one.

Hey everyone, fellow anarchist. I just wanted to take a moment to celebrate:...

Najwan Darwish: Who Remembers the Armenians?...

Bookchin prefigured many ideas in solarpunk and degrowth before these things were even coined. But what are your critiques of him?

Farm 12 is a front for Step by Step, a pregnancy center in Puyallup that discourages abortion and uses dirty tricks against women seeking them. It’s one of the ways the organization generates money to use in its ongoing efforts to disenfranchise and dis-empower women in the State of Washington....

Revolution and insurrection must not be looked upon as synonymous. The former consists in an overturning of conditions, of the established condition or status, the state or society, and is accordingly a political or social act; the latter has indeed for its unavoidable consequence a transformation of circumstances, yet does not...

What would you folks recommend as a good introduction to Murray Bookchin’s ideas?...

Heya folks, since there were already a number of anarchism instances across the lemmyverse, I thought it might be a good idea to make the one on SLRPNK a bit distinct with an explicit inclusion of social ecology into this community. Social ecology, after all, is a bit like solarpunk but also social scientific and...
