Where do you fall politically?

I’m hoping this doesn’t start a fight, I’m just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women’s rights, environmentalism,...

sharedburdens,

I’m a communist, most people I work with consider me an anarchist but I’ll work with almost anyone who’s ready to end private property.

sharedburdens,

I have a lot of thoughts about this as a trans person, and a communist. For one I strongly dislike the way liberals try to use queer people to excuse their war machine - it just gives the cover for bigots abroad to veil their misogyny and transphobia as “anti-imperialism”

Liberals are not doing queer people a service by making them the political football. You’re not helping queer people in the countries you sanction and lay waste to either. Stonewall was a riot. If you’re poor, queer people have not been really “accepted” in places like the US until relatively recently- it took 9 unelected people in robes to allow gay marriage, and Obama “evolved” on it.

As a trans person, the outcome that would directly benefit me the most from political action would be the immediate abolition of private property - ie decommodifying housing, and guaranteeing healthcare- nationalizing the for-profit healthcare. It’s no good to me that my rights are “accepted” in the west if I can’t afford to fucking transition and I’m living on the street. But I guess that would be “authoritarian”

If my options are 1. unsafe living situations at home 2. unsafe living situations in shelters 3. unsafe living situations on the street + police encounters, a khrushchyovka sounds pretty fucking good.

What good are rights when you’re poor and hungry with no fucking housing?

edit- NATO has couped/overthrown a lot of governments before Ukraine.

sharedburdens,

I’m on hexbear, and I didn’t dodge the point you just didn’t make one worth addressing xaxa.

Having stable housing makes a big fucking difference to even being able to transition. Speaking from experience.

sharedburdens,

I literally just addressed that though, maybe try reading with that big ol brain of yours.

sharedburdens,
