It is just campism. It doesn't matter what these countries actually do, as long as they are against "the west".
Since I have you here, what do you think about them calling slkpnk "just aesthetics"? ๐
I don't really care what they think of it ๐คทโโ๏ธ
I would suspect they wouldn't say the same about Soviet Futurism Art.
That old Soviet art was designed to inspire, to get people excited for what their world and society could be, to become a scientist or an engineer so you could be a part of making that reality! It was, critically, a goal, something to strive toward. Unfortunately, their ideology and government would keep them from ever realizing what their artists dreamt up.
Solarpunk is, in some ways, acting in a similar vein: giving us a goal to orient toward. But our tools, anarchism, eco-socialism, appropriate technology; they can actually enable and empower us, to make good on their promise.
That's just my two cents, anyway :)
