(2) How can the ideology of Earthseed spirituality set the foundations of a post-capitalist community?
How answer the question?

-
(3) Why this new spirituality differs from the one of the collapsed society of the book, namely the capitalist one: describe the capitalist ideology
Why is it interesting?
(1) Because Butler offers a narrative, analysed as an ustopian, which starts from the collapse of the former society, on the contrary to mainly utopian/ dystopians fictions. Therefore, we can see the development of the new ideology developed by the main character.
(2) Because Butler focuses mainly on the spirituality of the new community - less on the other aspects - which is seen as the core element of Acorn community
(3) Because Butler's books are thought as educational, since the author wrote them as "novel of solution". See that through the mechanism of bildungsroman
Hypothesis
Within the Parables, Butler imagines a new spirituality, called Earthseed, which gives the founding ideology of a post-capitalist community.
