@sam_uk OK, but if the solarpunk is a genre of science fiction, where are the solarpunk novels?
And any movement to be treated seriously should avoid taking communists on board.
Arguably Walkaway by Cory Doctorow?

Agreed. Solarpunk is anarchist, and communists/anarchists have a…messy history.
Check out Psalm for the Wild-Built!
I see anarchist point of views in steampunk and cyberpunk. So I expect the same solarpunk. But haven't read the first novel yet neither.
If a novel appears with traditional leftist/communist approach it would be very cringe. A lot of steampunk stories are about evil oligarchs vs adventurous heroes, without the need of falling in commie fallacies.
