Youth International Party Manifesto (1968)
(libcom.org)
Catchy manifesto, perhaps, but the Yippies historically (to the extent there even was such a group) were the absolute pinnacle of spectacle for its own sake. They got nothing done, and ultimately served only to hurt the public image of the legitimate countercultural movements in the long term. I think it seriously goes against the more pragmatic and action-oriented outlook of Solarpunk to take cues from these guys.
The Yippies had a huge historical impact, one that deserves re-examination as another Chicago DNC approaches.
The space to discuss Solarpunk itself and Solarpunk related stuff that doesn't fit elsewhere.
