It is even acknowledged that growth is not the driver, but an outcome, the “surface appearance or ‘fetish’ of an underlying process: capital accumulation.” One would then expect that the challenge to it and the imaginary of an alternative society would be based on the negation of capitalism as a mode of production. Yet instead, growth remains the focal point of the discussion.</p><p>"The emphasis on growth as an aggregate phenomenon that emerged only with industrial capitalism and turned into an unquestionable economic paradigm following the Second World War is not trivial. It implies that growth as we know it is capitalist growth, or actually accumulation of capital, constituted in processes of exploitation and expropriation peculiar to capitalism, measured by indicators designed by and for capitalist societies. Why should we then be so concerned with growth as such from the viewpoint of a socialist (or <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/postcapitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>postcapitalist</span></a>) society? The degrowth position is that it mesmerizes and captivates individual and social imaginaries, political movements, parties, and projects, including that of socialism: “Growth is the child of capitalism, but the child outdid the parent, with the pursuit of growth surviving the abolition of capitalist relations in socialist countries.”</p><p>"The transplantation of growth from its capitalist historical context into a socialist future, and thereby the problematization of growth as such—which supposedly transcends social relations upon which societies are founded—can be justified only under one condition: if all growth, regardless of the underlying relations of humans to both humans and nonhuman natures, can be seen as homogeneous, or at least alike to a significant degree. This is precisely what Giorgos Kallis puts forward: 'socialist growth cannot be sustainable, because no economic growth can be <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ecologically" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ecologically</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/sustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>sustainable</span></a>. Growth in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/material" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>material</span></a> standard of living requires growth in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/extraction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>extraction</span></a> of materials. This is unavoidably damaging to the environment and ultimately undermines the conditions of production and reproduction.”</p><p>"The logical conclusion of this argument is that all human activity involving extraction, transformation, and use of materials—that is, all human reproduction—is in direct conflict with the environment as the former unavoidably damages the latter. This is a reversion to crude materialism founded on the oppositional binary of nature and society. According to Kallis, this conflict becomes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unsustainable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unsustainable</span></a> if material living standards keep growing. Growth, however, is still understood in its meaning in the capitalist context, representing a process of accumulation.</p><p>"The qualitative difference between socialism and capitalism as two distinct modes of production is highly relevant here. The primary function of production under socialism is to provide all citizens with use values to satisfy a universal standard of basic needs (essentials), which determines the length of the necessary working day. This comprises not only shelter, basic food items, clean water supply, health care, education, and accessible public transport, but also child and elder care, parks and recreation, basic cultural and informational services, (possibly) ecological restoration activities, and the like."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://monthlyreview.org/2023/07/01/degrowth-and-socialism-notes-on-some-critical-junctures/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">monthlyreview.org/2023/07/01/d</span><span class="invisible">egrowth-and-socialism-notes-on-some-critical-junctures/</span></a></p>

But Solarpunk has yet to fully incorporate Indigenous perspectives and ways of knowing, despite their potential to contribute valuable insights and solutions to contemporary environmental and political challenges. This essay will explore the benefits of incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk, explain how this can shift our focus towards a more community and nature-based approach, and address key problems in modern society.</p><p>"Indigenous perspectives on nature differ greatly from Western perspectives, which often view humans as separate from and above nature. In contrast, a lot of Indigenous worldviews typically understand humans as equal to and a part of the natural world. This perspective emphasizes the importance of community and connection to the environment and recognizes the interdependence of all living beings. Incorporating these perspectives into Solarpunk can help shift the focus away from individualistic and exploitative approaches to the environment and towards a more community-based and regenerative approach.</p><p>"One way in which Solarpunk can incorporate Indigenous perspectives is through the use of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK). TEK encompasses Indigenous knowledge and practices related to ecological management and can offer valuable insights into sustainable and regenerative practices. </p><p>"For example, traditional land management practices such as prescribed burning have been shown to reduce the risk of wildfires and promote biodiversity. Incorporating TEK into Solarpunk can lead to more effective and holistic approaches to sustainability and renewable energy. (Here is an example of traditional land management through prescribed burning, which has been used for thousands of years by Indigenous communities.)</p><p>"Another way in which Solarpunk can benefit from Indigenous perspectives is through the recognition of Indigenous sovereignty and land rights. Indigenous communities have often been at the forefront of environmental and social justice movements, fighting for their right to self-determination and protection of their land and resources. Incorporating these struggles and perspectives into Solarpunk can promote a more just and equitable society, where Indigenous communities are recognized and respected.</p><p>"Incorporating Indigenous perspectives into not Solarpunk not only enriches the genre, but also offers a new way of looking at our relationship with the natural world. By acknowledging the inherent value of nature and the interconnectedness of all living beings, we can begin to shift away from the exploitative mindset that has led to so many of the ecological and social problems we face today. This approach aligns with Indigenous ways of knowing, which recognize that humans are not separate from nature, but rather a part of it. By centering community and nature-based approaches in Solarpunk, we can address key problems such as climate change, environmental degradation, social inequality, and colonialism, and move towards a more sustainable and just future.</p><p>"One potential challenge in incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk is the risk of cultural appropriation and tokenization. It is important to acknowledge and respect the sovereignty and agency of Indigenous communities and not simply use their perspectives and knowledge for the benefit of non-indigenous individuals or groups. This means engaging in meaningful and respectful collaboration with Indigenous communities, listening to their perspectives, and ensuring that they have agency and control over how their knowledge is used and shared. By centering Indigenous sovereignty and respecting Indigenous knowledge, Solarpunk can move towards a more ethical and just approach to sustainability and renewable energy.</p><p>"In conclusion, incorporating Indigenous perspectives into Solarpunk can lead to a more holistic and community-based approach to sustainability and renewable energy. By recognizing the importance of community and connection to the environment, and incorporating traditional ecological knowledge and Indigenous sovereignty, Solarpunk can offer solutions to contemporary and environmental and social challenges. By promoting collective well-being and prioritizing regenerative practices, Solarpunk can lead us towards a more equitable and just future."</p><p>Source: <br><a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comments/13bgfug/solarpunk_and_indigenous_perspectives_a_call_for/?rdt=37491" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">reddit.com/r/solarpunk/comment</span><span class="invisible">s/13bgfug/solarpunk_and_indigenous_perspectives_a_call_for/?rdt=37491</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SolarPunkSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SolarPunkSunday</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TEK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TEK</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TraditionalEcologicalKnowledge</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostColonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EnvironmentalJustice</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialJustice</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PostCapitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PostCapitalist</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Sovereignty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sovereignty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandBack" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LandBack</span></a></p>
