paradoxius:

txttletale:

ftr the reason why “socialism is about access to goods” or “socialism is about having nice things” are nonsense positions isn’t because socialism is about being an ascetic coal miner living a pure life free from excess or whatever the fuck. it’s because socialism is about production and not consumption

I think a big part of this is that it’s common in the US (and I presume a lot of other Global North countries) to think of yourself and working class people in general as consumers rather than workers, and to think of capitalists as producers rather than capitalists. Thus, a lot of people (particularly people amenable to socialism but who are ignorant of it) think of socialism in terms of how it would change their life as a consumer and their social relations to producers, rather than how it would change their life as a worker and their social relations to capital.

There are a (big) number of problems with this, but one here is that this classifies everyone in a given industry, capitalist and worker alike, as part of the producers, and everyone else as consumers, which makes it impossible to see class dynamics in something like global commodity trade beyond how it impacts grocery store prices.

Anyway here is your reminder that poor effeminate men existed in the 18th century and any reading of class that acts as tho every poor man was a hyper masculine rugged labourer and every rich man was a effeminate fop is an inherently flawed reading of class 🙃

extremely fun fact: the first recorded drag queen, William Dorsey Swann, known to his friends as The Queen, was a former slave! also “the earliest recorded American to take specific legal and political steps to defend the queer community’s right to gather without the threat of criminalization, suppression, or police violence.” just an absolute badass with great taste.
