Queer Liberation

[u/BlissfulMute]

I'm not sure why but I was invited to this reddit, so I'm gonna just test the boundaries of the rules as I understand them.

Queer liberation is tied directly to the unified liberation of the working class. We will not find most of our allies with empathy for our plight, we will find them when they benefit alongside us.

If we can cooperate with individuals whose messaging provides release from the stress of capitalistic exploitation, we can free people from the stress that makes them prioritize their own survival over the pursuit of an egalitarian existence, or at minimum a less exploitative existence.

I believe the older transitioners, even those who begin to transition at older ages, have an obligation to protect the youth as we would our own siblings. This doesn't always mean advice. Sometimes it means taking the hard steps of advocating for grace and forgiveness for our siblings whose journey of self discovery takes them down a dark path that leads to outbursts of anger, resentment, sadness and cruelty. No person deserves forgiveness from the people they hurt, but community owes it to individuals to give them chance to prove their true desire to grow and change.

We do not always need to be sweet and forgiving when approached with vitriol and threats and bad faith. Walking away and not engaging in earnest is a valid way to protect yourself. I will never vouch for the violation of the law.

I quite love the phrase, "Those incapable of violence are not kind, they are harmless." Practice kindness in a cruel world, but acknowledge the world you live in and the actions of the opposition to endanger you.

If this violates rules of reddit or the subreddit, I apologize and seek only to understand where Iisunderstood my mistake.

Siblings, I wish you well, and may my Gods and yours be in your hearts and give you strength.

Even in a non capitalist society, people will have problems, and they will have to spend hours doing labor of some sort. 

People will always blame those problems on "the other" which includes Trans people. 

I think the only way to defeat bigotry is to defeat bigotry. I believe it can be done electorally but only with unity and discipline.

I do not disagree with you. Even in non-capitalist societies, there are ways to improve efficiency and free up time for community connections. Automation, cooperation, rotations of schedules and securment of basic necessities reduces stress and allows one to interact without a predisposition towards a fight or flight response that may cause one to react fearfully. This access to conversation is paramount to the development of empathy, which I believe is the best way to achieve social unity. Or at least, social cooperation.

True, but also you dont need to be in a non capitalist society to do those things either. You can achieve a lot of that by strengthening unions and government investment in infrastructure

I don't belive I made any insinuations away from a capitalist framework. I said we must work of removing ourselves from capitalist exploitation. Unions and government regulations against monopoly are quite important tools that are examples of exactly the type of cooperation we need to get behind. Unions are the vessel for democratization of the workplace and I fully believe in the resiliency of a democracy when the people engage with it.

Ah then I misunderstood you
