The two main issues I see are:

  • In any kind of anarchist system, the need for financial capital is replaced by a need for social capital. It’s easy to tell people “jUsT go TaLk To YoUr NeIgHbOrS” and hard for many people to do. There should be room in society still for people who don’t feel like talking

  • Locally grown and unprocessed foods with unpredictable taste and texture

If you see any more problems or solutions then you can comment them below

EDIT: I tried to delete this post but I don’t really know how. I deleted it but it still shows up. Sry for the bad post

EDIT 2: I guess I will undelete if it’s going to show up on the feed either way

    Hey! Fellow autistic person here :)

    First, your post is absolutely fine. There are no dumb questions!

    I think you have to keep in mind that other people have different concepts what solarpunk is.

    For you, it sounds like you imagine it to be like a total hippie commune, where everyone still lives in year 1400 and no technology exists. Only farmers trading stuff with each other and building houses out of dirt. If that sounds like hell to you, maybe it is.

    My definition/ imagination of solarpunk is different. Maybe not nearly as much changes in your routines as you think. Who says you can’t do your regular office job, workshop or whatever you do, as a regular employee anymore?

    Hell, it gets even better. You can distance yourself from others all you want, and nobody is mad at you, your job is more fulfilling and suited for your (special) needs. Treating everyone with dignity and respect is a core value of solarpunk after all :)

    Some people are just great at socialising, and they can make this their “job”. Some others, like us, maybe aren’t and have other skills, still much needed by (solarpunk) society.

    For me personally, this would be a dream I want to fight for!!!

    Oh, and regarding texture. The exact same food tastes different 100 times, and has 100 different mouthfeels when prepared by 100 different cooks/ manufacturers. You will find something ;)
