Marxism and Sexuality
Submitted by Internationalis... on May 10 2020 22:17
Contradictions at the heart of the capitalist mode of production affect human relations at the level of the superstructure. The ideological, cultural, linguistic, and organisational forms prevalent in contemporary society are not independent of the social and economic structure of our society, and are bequeathed to us from previous modes of production. Sexuality, like other spheres of human activity, is not exempt from this.

The original content of the communist program is the obliteration of the individual as an economic subject, rights-holder, and agent of human history (Part II)
The second part of Amadeo Bordiga’s exposition of the features of communist society and of the revolutionary party that, in his estimation, is the only entity able to bring it into being. Critique of democracy, and of the “immediatist” conceptions of those who would like to see the party replaced by different forms of organization, is here tightly interlinked with a vision of society which will know nothing of classes or exchange and which will spatially and temporally integrate the entire human species into the Social Man, who will not even have any use for “freedom” in the conventional sense of the word.

El Manifesto de Aceleracionismo de Género
¡Muerte al género que nos da muerte! ¡Libertad para lxs cuirs! Pero el género muere al engullir su propia cola. El género ya está muriendo. Su último aliento está cerca, pero aún tiene tiempo para salvarse. En nosotrxs está el apresurar a su fin. Impulsarlo, darle rapidez, hacerlo…
Acelerar.
The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto
Death to gender! Freedom to the queers! But gender dies through eating its own tail. Gender is dying already. Its death rattle is upon us, but it still has time to save itself. It is on us to hurry it along to its final end. To speed it on. To make it...
Accelerate.
