Even Jacobin can hardly find anything nasty to say about Romania’s Călin Georgescu. https://archive.ph/Ydy90
Other than “his endorsement of Putin and Orbán, his downplaying of the coronavirus pandemic, his unfiltered social media rants, and his crude antisemitism praising the Iron Guard and Romanian Nazi collaborators” (in the words of Diana Sosoaca, Long live the Legion and the Captain!), there’s not much that can even be construed as bad.
Calling his rhetoric crude, part of the canard that the radical Right is anti-intellectual, falls a little flat given that he’s actually a scientist, even an expert on one of the globalists’ favorite things, sustainable development! What’s more, he leads a movement, launched in 2021, that aims to reduce Romania’s dependence on foreign agriculture by fostering a network of local farmers and artisans. Can you get more green than that?
”Unlike his liberal peers, Georgescu did not ignore the economic challenges and austerity brought upon Romania by authoritarian neoliberalism following the Soviet bloc’s collapse.” Oh, but trust us, Jacobin says; he’s only pretending. On the ground in Romania, a few patriotic communist and socialist parties have endorsed Georgescu in the second round, while none back the globalists; even the mainstream social democrats haven’t made an endorsement. It’s the centrist, eurocratic liberals who are rallying around Elena Lasconi. See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Romanian_presidential_election#Party_endorsements Jacobin‘s shtick, I’ve found, is posing as socialist while operating as a think tank for the public-private powers that be. Many of those who or whose fathers lived through really existing socialism understand it to be something completely different than what the journos and professors at Jacobin think it means.
Will Georgescu win, and lead Romania out of 35 years of strip-mining capitalism, subservience to Brussels and Washington, and general humiliation? We will likely know soon.
Also: as we await results of the legislative elections, the cops are guess what, harassing patriots honoring the memories of Codreanu and Antonescu, including the aforementioned leader of nationalist party SOS Romania, Diana Sosoaca. https://archive.ph/7UfkB Let’s hope her party exceeds expectations, and words in honor of the Legion and the Captain will soon be heard on the floor of parliament. #Romania #RomaniaElection2024 #RomaniaElection #Jacobin #CalinGeorgescu #Georgescu #DianaSosoaca #SOSRomania #AUR #ElenaLasconi #sustainabledevelopment #sustainability #green #agriculture #localism #subsidiarity #Codreanu #Antonescu #IronGuard #RomanianLegion #Legion #Fascism #nationalism #socialism #communism #patriotism #Lasconi #Europe

Getting closer to the land is a simple way to improve your life. If you don't have the means to grow your own crops you can still make your local environment better by communicating with those who do! Protect wildlife, care for your surroundings, and enjoy those wild places!

"A network of more than 40 indigenous & local communities & farmer associations are developing agroecology schools across the country to promote the recovery of ancestral practices, educate communities on agroecology & teach them how to build their own local economies."

Presented on a handwoven multicolor blanket, her broccoli, cabbage, potatoes and fruits are neatly organized into handmade baskets. Aguilar is in a cohort of campesinos, or small-scale farmers, […]

Hi new people! I'm Perry. I think a #reintroduction is probably in order.
I study the #evolution and #biodiversity of cave #insects to inform #conservation management, naming of species, resilience to #climatechange, & more. 
I'm also interested in #neurodiversity in academia, #degrowth, #localism, and #climatejustice!

resilienceStepping beyond the livestock sustainability debateIf you know people who are raising livestock in low impact and low energy ways that enhance your local food system, then hold tight to them because they are probably pioneers who will be needed as we enter new worlds of agrarian localism.

Hey y'all! I'm Andre AKA #HydroponicTrash. I'm a hacker, a gardener, and an online weirdo who does #DIY projects and writes speculative #solarpunk fiction and nonfiction.
Been mainly on Twitter and TikTok on the same handle but decided to jump full-on into the fediverse. I write longform content at anarchosolarpunk.substack.com where I post everything from sort #solarpunk fiction, to detailed DIY articles. They range from building DIY, autonomous solar power stations, building community microgrids from renewable energy, building autonomous communication and internet systems. On top of that I talk about building food, water and shelter autonomy as well.
I don't pin myself to a particular political strategy, but I gather alot from #anarchism, #degrowth, #especifismo, #anarcho-communism, #democratic-confederalism, #ecosocialism, #utopian-socialism and #social-ecology. 
I really focus on the intersection of ecology, social change, and technology and how we can think about and actively build better futures!
