    There are some great ideas in there, but I don’t quite think that what you are describing is solarpunk. More like a eco-socialist

    My thinking was more of a what are things, which have a good impact / easyness ratio. That means a lot of these solutions use our current system to a fairly large extend, as it makes them easier to do. Thats propably, why you get socialist vibes. Also I tried to stay away from “criminal” stuff, as that does carry a fairly high risk and is propably a bad place to start.

      Again, if it’s bad depends on the personal perspective and context. Both of your ideas are great, the more mainstream ones as well as the more ‘criminal’ ones. People who currently have kids, for example, might want to opt for a more crime-free style, younger people might feel more angry and want to get active. Usually I am more for the constructive than the destructive, but that might just reflect my relatively comfortable position in life.
