is this fascism?
Shit, the Trots were right
If that was the sum of Soviet aesthetic then you might even have a point. However, the bulk of Soviet art celebrates the worker. On the other hand, labour is entirely invisible in pretty much all the solar-punk aesthetic.
of the first eight image results on google, six of them have people in them, and of the ones that have people in them, 4/6 of them show labour idk what you're talkign about lmao
i apologize in advance, the maximum comment depth was reached, this comment is a reply to https://hexbear.net/comment/6331483
i brought it up as a counter example to the dispossessed on soviet sci-fi, before i ever called the dispossessed a foundational piece of solar-punk media
but i will agree that at the time, the concept of communism becoming a interstellar society was very real to those living in the USSR
in the material circumstance of ursula living in cold war era america, anarcho-syndicalism being applied to build socialism in a theoretical future interstellar capitalist system seemed much more plausible, which is also why the dispossessed had a second boost of popularity when solar-punk started up as a movement in between the dissolution of the USSR by capitalist encroachment and the rise of china as a second communist superpower
