>Saw posters around here from the Socialist party and it was "Social housing for queer, trans and black bodies" and it's like, what the actual fuck can you not couch socialist demands in idpol bullshit?
I think what happens here is that you have more academics in these groups, and academic theory-language leaps out of papers into political slogans like that. The whole "bodies" discourse sounds bizarre. When most people hear "bodies" they think of a dead person. People are like what the fuck. In this jargon-filled academic world though, it comes from Foucault and Judith Butler talking about human bodies as a material thing and a "sight of control and also possibility" or whatever. And then they'll try to draw out a critique of the "general" from the "particular," that is, the way trans people struggle with healthcare is actually illustrative of the system of the whole. For example, the richer you are, the less likely you're going to struggle with accessing gender surgery compared to growing up a trailer park. I think that's right analytically, but the language doesn't translate outside of that narrow scope, and also academics love thinking of themselves as some avant-garde.

I doubt I'd find many either. I figure you're more likely to find someone willing to tear you a new asshole for waving communist symbols around in Europe, but that's also the kind of authoritarian socialism people around here think is based, so explain that to them.

Not as much now because of retroviral drugs, but in the early 90s the group ACT UP would have slogans like that, and many of them would've imagined themselves as anti-capitalists in a general kind of way. They didn't use hammers and sickles though, but a reversed pink triangle (used to mark homosexuals in Nazi concentration camps).

Those guys are the biggest LARPers on the left.
