Does the permaculture movement have a political agenda?

In this episode of the Permaculture Lifestyle podcast, I explore a wide range of opinions and perspectives on the question of whether practicing permaculture is an inherently political act.

Is it a leftist extension of the environmental movement? Is it perhaps libertarian, anarchist, or anarcho-capitalist in nature? Is capitalism a valid tool in the toolkit of the social permaculture designer?

One of the most appealing things about permaculture, for me, is that it appeals to a wide range of people from all across the political spectrum. But I do see ideologies butting heads from time to time within this space, and so I think it's really important that we confront these differences of opinion head-on and with an open mind.
