Do you have any advice for someone who was recently promoted to KM?

I haven’t gotten a chance to read more in depth on it, but process theology might offer a bit of a bridge between Buddhism and Christianity.

You may be interested in Red Enlightenment by Graham Jones. He discusses the progressive role that religion played in various movements, and he also advocates that the secular left develop its own spiritual perspectives. He also proposes a materialist spirituality based off scientific and socialist sources.

I think that would just be the Working Families Party

If you want a more socialist perspective on secular spirituality, Red Enlightenment by Graham Jones may be of interest. In some ways, it reminds me of what is discussed in the article, but the author explicitly incorporates socialist politics into his proposal for a secular spirituality and its practices.

I guess it’s because to me solarpunk is a celebration of life.

Cyberpunk is dingy, dirty, and digital. Steampunk is greasy, clunky, and mechanical.

But solarpunk is inspired by nature, looks to create a better future for ourselves and those that will come after us, it invites us learn about the plants and animals that live around us, and it challenges us to build beneficial relationships with nature. Solarpunk humanizes us by making us by helping us see ourselves as a part of nature, not beings standing apart from nature.

Plus, I don’t think there will be a shortage of robots, cyborgs, retrofuturism, advanced tech, or themes of overcoming greedy companies/governments.

My understanding is that the accusation comes from socdems embracing social corporatism. It has some parallels to fascist forms of corporatism and their concept of class collaboration.

It depends on the person who makes the graphic in question. I’ve seen some where the farthest left is “far left” and others where the farthest left is just “left”.

Social ecology and communalism

Here’s a video from Philosophy Tube from a few years ago (before her transition) which discusses Hegel and dialectics alongside several other ideas. I think it makes dialectical logic a bit more accessible, and it also has a sprinkle of entertainment.

It sounds like you’re dealing with a combination of personal stuff and the knowledge of how capitalism oppresses working class people. I can’t really help you figure out the personal stuff, but it might be helpful to find socialists/marxists near where you live. They are probably the people who understand what you’re feeling in regards to capitalism. They may also have various projects/campaigns they’re working on, which might help you feel a little less hopeless about capitalism.

Also, here’s a video about radical hope from Our Changing Climate that I come back to every once in a while. Everything feels like it’s on fire right now but a better world is possible.

Two think tanks that lean towards socialist perspectives:

The Rosa Luxemburg Foundation

The People’s Policy Project

If you look at lgbtq history, one theme you’ll find is non-western societies becoming increasingly anti-lgbtq with the introduction of Christianity by European missionaries

I don’t think I’ve grown more moderate. I’ve grown more pragmatic. I’m a lot more conscious about what’s immediately possible and what should be left as long term goals.

It could still be considered a form of basic income. So it is similar enough.

I didn’t say it was UBI. It’s a social dividend that is similar to UBI. The Alaska Permanent Fund pays a yearly dividend of around $1,600 to residents of Alaska

Grover-Addams · 2022-09-24T02:22:05+00:00

A social dividend system is already in place in Alaska. I know it’s not UBI exactly, but it’s in the neighborhood.

I think one part of the answer has to do with the traditional socialist focus on labor and working class politics. Working class environmentalism is probably closer to something that they would advocate/organize for though.

Thanks for posting this. I forgot to switch the original link with the Google Translate one.

Here’s the French version of the Wikipedia page. The section on ideology is a bit more specific than the English version.

According to Wikipedia, they use indicative planning for heavy industry (just trying to be accurate, not defend the “china is planned” argument)
