Effective political action is focused and intentional. The BPP had a plan. There is no central solarpunk organ for democratic decision making, there is no party program. They have nothing that would make them an effective org.

It's focused after they realize what is effective. The BPP had a plan after canned food drives and fund raisers weren't. Why does there have to be a central organ for it to be a movement? I never claim for solarpunk to be an organization. But at this point I feel like you intentionally missing the point. Thanks for the talk though.

No, it wasn't. Have you read any of the first hand accounts of the BPP?

But at this point I feel like you intentionally missing the point.

The point of movements is to accomplish things. Solarpunk isn't a movement if there is no theory of change.
