But we should still strive to reach them, even if only half of the ideas of utopian visions are implement, it will better the current reality. Solarpunk as a movement as a vision for example promotes sustainable renewable energy tech which is inarguably something the world needs more of.
That’t the problem of utopianism though, it isn’t happening. To happen ot even get close it would need socialism as prerequisite and as China already shows, it’s completely redundant, only thing remaining is empty aesthetics. But then, why not actually support countries that do “promotes sustainable renewable energy tech which is inarguably something the world needs more of” but most solarpunk people i know or know of are anarchists fully on the “China bad” bandwagon.
Then maybe the solarpunk people you know did not understand what they stand for or much of anything really.
All i am trying to say is all movements going towards the left are helpful to some degree, it would be smart to unite more and reach a form of socialism. Instead of fighting over which utopia might work or not, since in the end a utopia can by definition never be reached.
Marxist communism also just stops short of advocating for the utopian vision communism, but it surely is the aim.
No it isn’t, not under marxism.
