A lot of Solarpunk focuses on imagining the future solar utopia, and neglects the DIY punk action required to build it.
With that in mind, how do we fight technocapital?
What punk things have you done IRL?

We do it the way guerrillas and terrorists do it but minus the violence part. Mao talks about establishing base areas and liberated zones, ideally in places the oppressor forces can't easily penetrate like the jungle or mountains.
We need to create underground communities and areas in places the authorities don't think to look. There we can build an alternative society where people no longer have to depend on the system to survive. Then we expand these communities by pursuing a strategy of weakening the infrastructure of technocapital. We expand like a self-replicating virus or mushroom spoors, infecting other outcast regions. We eat away at technocapital until its so weak it dies off.

This is pretty interesting, how applicable do you think the writings of eg. Mau or Guevarra are to the 21st century? Do you think they can work without the violence?
I agree about creating our own small spaces and networks outside "the system" - not only do they have the potential to grow but it also feels like the only scale where we can make a real impact.
Does anyone have any specific ideas for these "outside" spaces? Is a network of friends enough, or should we have organized structures and committees? Once we have a "space", how do we grow it and begin to degrade technocapital?

Yes, you can see in Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon etc. how guerrilla principals are applicable. But these are purely armed groups which for our purposes are unnecessary. Hezbollah is an instructive case because its an entity that's built its own mini alternative government and army mostly by itself and despite being a guerilla organization has weapons and equipment rivaling actual nation-states.
