Solarpunk is a powerful idea, but without practical action and a solid analysis of the systems that dominate the planet, it won't be enough.

    That’s a fair take I guess. Although the author of the video is a relatively well known Anarchist and is surely aware of what I wrote.

    Regarding your last point: you can’t really divide the means (aesthetics) and the desired outcome. If you do that your outcome will be inevitably different from what you set out to do. So while Solar Punk is not so in-your-face political, I think it also does not try to hide its Anarchist roots for anyone who bothers looking for them. If that turns away certain people that is probably for the better as otherwise those people would likely try to distort the idea of Solar Punk (which is a well recognized risk; green-washing and the like).
