Reformism, Revolutionary anarchism, and socialism: May Podcast Club

Come to an online discussion comparing the political beliefs and historical examples of reformism, revolutionary anarchism, and revolutionary socialism. Solarpunk is for a future civilization in harmony with nature, organized as democratically run communities. It is anti-capitalist and rebellious. Solarpunk is visionary, without a strategy for social change, so we will discuss three possibilities. As anarchism, Marxist socialism, and even reforms of capitalism are distorted by the media, we will analyze historical examples.
