postmarxist critique re transformative justice

i spent a number of years in a marxist organization

i have a number of proleftist critiques & contributions

fig4a howtodifferently

the first is most specific & important
a spectacle whichin i participated
first in a showtrial
then in very poor reaction
a good friend introduced me
to the concept of transformative justice
which i think
essential not just to aiding
victims of sexual assault
on the left
& elsewhere

but to confronting this beast
called capitalism
a system of dehumanization

& move to recognize
humanness
in oppressor oppressed
alike

handle things
in a delicate nurturing energetic way

that maps a new route
to confrontation
with the mechanizing monster
which would make
rote of our flesh

a squalor of hypnotism and violation

and look instead
for the way
that there might be hope
for us all

i stand only to say i have nothing to say at all

as someone interested in radicalism language sexuality
shit who isnt
interested in sexuality i mean
well we should be interested in all those things
together

i thought alot about lgbtq how it got where it is
when it got where it is
what the orders mean
could mean if switched around
the importance of placement
indices of arrangement

so before i started writing
i did what any cis radical
worth salt should do
i wikid it

oh jesus im out of my league

but theres so much good stuff
i wont stop reading but im not gonna open
my stupid mouth where
it doesnt understand

ill let
better
more experienced minds
do the talking

consider this a nudge thata ways
instead

ps i smiled at the name of this magazine

pps i did manage to find myself in the alphabet soup
i like that the struggle has produced places
even someone privileged as me
can fit into once theyve started
unpacking the ideas and fighting
internalized oppression/oppressordom
ugh ... tangled thoughts
more on that later probably
