Ecosocialistanarchomodernism, cars, drone, ambient and the way we could have lived.
For me, it speaks to a vision of a kind of ecomodernism that I don't think we hear enough of - if we make a serious attempt to mitigate/adapt to climate change we could build a future that's not just surviving, but better in many ways than the present.

It's depressing that visions of the future often seem dominated by a drive toward some sort of fascism. This quote has always stuck in my head (from the sleeve of 'Copia' by Eluvium.)

Yeah, it's frustrating, where's the focus on a common goal? A lot of it seems more about scoring points and personal grudges. I asked him, 'why don't you work with the Greens' and he said 'Polanski knows where to find us'. I mean, come on man.

I told Portes that I thought economists griping at each other just seemed like navel gazing when the entire media still talks to the country about 'running out of money' and he just didn't seem to get what I was trying to say.

Interesting thread, this. Centrists arguing that a large amount of tax and spend makes this a leftist budget, but too much tax and spend and too many taxes on the wealthy would be too left wing and the voters wouldn't like it. Actual leftists pointing out that doing a bit to balance out austerity...
Starmer and Reeves run probably the most economically left-wing government of past five decades and yet bleeding support to its left thanks to dumb strategy www.economist.com/britain/2025...

It's amazing how clueless centrists are about what it means to be left wing, just no conception of what a consistent ideology might be. There was another thread on here the other day about how the budget was left-wing because it proposed raising taxes and...that was it.

...doesn't make a budget left wing, you'd also need spending to address structural issues, rebuild state capacity, long term investment in public goods and climate change and the key would be actually trying to sell this to the electorate rather than just lecture them on 'hard choices'.

I've seen lots of discussion of Polanski in recent days consisting of centrist dads saying voters will see through him because he's 'no ideology', he's 'bad on economics' and I'm just thinking - lads, Starmer is the Prime Minister.

Tough one, for sure. By contrast, we've potentially a cracker group, unfortunately we have to get past Italy and maybe Wales first.
