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
By creating a transitional masculinity that appeals to young men and funnels them into revolutionary politics.
Capitalism has dropped the ball and no longer rewards the traditional masculinity. We have an opening here and nobody is even trying to take it in a manner with a chance of working.
You’d call somebody who tried to immediately transition to a fully communist organization of society with no in between a utopian at best.
Apply that logic to changing masculinity and you’ll find yourself with an idea of why this is both hard and necessary.
@Awoo@hexbear.net had some great points on this earlier today have had me thinking.
