Fuck a money. Why would you have tools which could be used to recreate the systems of oppression you seek to destroy?

Poor countries in the global south. They are likely to have revolutions and build a new society the soonest due to decreasing material conditions and a lack of alternatives. Wealthier countries will be able to use their money and power to maintain the status quo for much longer imo

Edit: I forgot I also wanted to mention Rojava, they have already begun building a society based around liberation and ecology. Their ideology is based off of Democratic Municipalism as imagined by Abdullah Öcalan and Murray Bookchin. This is a good start but obviously not an ending point for a "solarpunk" society

Democratic schools in which students have autonomy and can collectively make decisions along with the teachers. The education should have a focus on learning for enrichment and teaching critical thinking skills over making productive workers like we have now.

This looks very pleasant. I think communal kitchens and cafeterias also have a big place in solar punk
