we must link activist stress with emotional & transformative justice

ongoing postmarxist critique

older now but
this article
the immediate need for emotional justice
speaks again
experiences in sectarian
socialism

not only my own emotional
luggage
that of
burnouts wanderoffs
jadeds tired outs
overstressed
folks
all around

stress confrontation
buildup & letdown

fig13a lets not forget the sectarian student recruitment fetish while we are here

so few ways to vent
so few ways for feelings
to be taken seriously
always talking about
sacrifice
like for blood
im going to have to write
more on that later
but

fig13b with narrative logic like that no wonder enrollment is at historic lows

speaking to abuse
in the activist community
in which i seem
to have taken interest

lacking emotional justice

folks from homes
broken

by capitalism
the state

turn to what theyve learned
violence abuse
coercion manipulation

mirroring
in these communities
those very dynamics
poison dynamics

which the world we
want to change
consistently
regenerates

if we cant fix it
in ourselves
our loved ones
comrades
trusted

how can we empower
friends
acquaintances
strangers

& even our enemies

yet
i know sectarians
wont listen
at best theyre slow to change
its all about building
glorious proletarian revolution
without ever addressing
personal problems
problems must in essence first
be polticized
too often at the cost
of dehumanizing
the problemed
sacred logic ending
with dismissal

yours for the revolution
