was discussing this with a friend of mine (she’s an anarchist but she actually organizes and shit). she was saying there can be no such thing as revolutionary masculinity because the two things are contradictory. but i’m a marxist so contradictions really butter my bread.
i think in a utopian, communist world gender identity would be completely different, to the point where it might not even be legible to us today, but my question is more about how we get from here to there. basically, can we men find a way to not be shitheads in such a way as to bring about communism, or does that not even make sense
feel free to dunk on me if this is a dumb question
Death to America
Have you been to the “manosphere”? There are plenty of “normal” looking guys in that space that are basically saying similar things, but they are not as bombastic as Tate. I hate to say it but this feels like a “don’t investigate, don’t speak” thing for a lot of leftists, who either like to put their head in the sand or minimize the issue. Awoo is right, and has always been right, the left needs an answer for this. For my part, I’ve basically lost all faith that the left will be able to reach these men suffering from the “male loneliness epidemic” and in my mind they are pretty much on the fascist pipeline, but hopefully I’m wrong.
“the left needs an answer for this”
Ok you’re the left aren’t you. Whats your answer? I keep hearing someone has to come up with an answer, what is it? I’d like the hear it
I made a post about this a while back: https://hexbear.net/post/613122?scrollToComments=false. And of course, like most threads actually trying to deal with this topic it got pretty much crickets in responses compared to the usual “is doo doo or poop the proper socialist way to say feces?” type posts (which unironically get like 100+ comments). I’ve pretty much given up on the left being able to meaningfully tackle male loneliess and to me the fash are gonna win, at least in western countries because they’re gonna end up recruiting most of these guys.
