@aescling TECHNICALLY that is anarcho-communism but it's the kind of anarcho-communism which views power structures inherent in successful labour organizing as an unqualified good insofar as it is effective

@aescling (and my “anarchist tendencies” are just “lots of smaller parties working across lines of solidarity” i.e. platformism)

@aescling like i have anarchist tendencies because i think a single party structure cannot fully accommodate indigenous, queer, and immigrant rights in the united states today, and those are our base so we have to start there

not because i care about “personal liberty”

@aescling i think you asked me if i was some kind of libertarian socialist and i got very offended by the word libertarian

@aescling « And if the day should ever come that goth becomes normal, our individuality will have to evolve with it, but at least by then we will have dramatically altered our world to the point that we have become something more than a freakshow for the people on the subway. » is something queer scholars have been fretting about since the beginning

@aescling there was a thread on bobaboard about defining “queer culture” and somebody was like “most people here don't relate to queer culture because it's like you have to be enough of a freak to not be normal but not so much of a freak as to make people uncomfortable” and i was just like “oh no the slippage is real the fated prophecy has occurred”

@aescling what is interesting to me is that at its heart this is saying the same things the queer theorists were saying and around the same time
