let’s talk about the left
the left is generally known in opposition to the right; in the negative, the left is the force against intolerance, stagnation, authoritarianism, mass consumption, and social stratification. the left posits itself outside the binary of conservatism and liberalism
in the positive, the left presents itself as all inclusive, progressive, liberatory, for the worker, and for the abolishing of oppressive forces. it considers itself an extreme brand of revolutionary dedication
generally, people consider the right and conservatism as the same or inextricable. the left considers itself separate from liberalism, creating a trinary compass of political ideation. for freedom of all where the right is for luxury of few, & the liberal is for luxury of “many”
i will not be explaining the nuances of either the left or right, nor their constituent ideologies and factions. rather, this thread will explore the assertion that the left is also a limb the antiblack-living-machine; a wing of fascism*, and crucial to its* proliferation
fascism is generally understood as ultimate authoritarianism and extreme su/re/oppression. the sacrifice of many to a living hell, in order to secure the luxuries desired by the class positioned atop the social pyramid — the most human among us, or, the exalted
the exalted is not mindless, and nor is its slaughter; it seeks global mastery, or domination on a world scale. to become Kardashev Type I, it must control and manipulate all aspects of its home planet. the path to this that the human has dedicated itself to is mass exploitation
the exalted seeks to maximize a “profit” from the “use” of “resources” and “technologies” found upon the earth. fascism is a derivative of the exalted’s long journey towards this goal; profit not through cooperation but blood labour and bloodletting
the entire planet suffers thus, and all living creatures face violence or extermination (save for the hardy insects in many places). the left sees this path, and recognizes itself as a stone to be stepped on along the way
the human is prideful. the left responds in equal (ish) measure to the right; the more the fascist presses it’s boot down, the more the left struggles against it. the left’s goal and dream then is to topple the fascist and secure a future where it is not stepped on, exterminated
however, simply opposing the ruling force within fascism is not equivalent to opposing fascism itself. the left has, for centuries, repeatedly shown that its motive for liberation begins and ends with its own flesh — it does not wish to stop oppression, it wishes to /live/
the left refuses to theorize the most vulnerable and most exploited under fascism — the slave, and her children; the ugly, the fat, the dark, the disabled, the uncomforming, the unwilling, the unseen and unheard. the left cares not for the noose upon their neck
when the slave and her children are in left space, and forcibly /visible/ to the left en masse, the left dilutes the power differentials *granted by the fascist state*, by forcing the most exploited to restrict their voiced anguish to only those identities comfortable to the left
the trans must become the queer; the disabled must become the atypical; the slave must become the worker. the most vulnerable are forced, in left space, to only reveal as much of their blood letted as won’t disturb the left’s hemophobia. to cry only specified allowed tears
the left is an authoritarian field that creates strict boundaries over what death defines struggle; over what voices are allowed to be heard; over what violence deserves to be theorized. over who lives and who dies
the left maintains this fascist field to secure its place in the fascists world; not crushed but not ending the act of crushing. the left is not opposed to fascism or authoritarianism, bc it has no problem stomaching these forces when applied to those it seems unworthy
deems*
if the left has no place for the slave or her children, what is the difference between it and the fascist from the right? what meaning do the terms right and left have, when both forces require a class of many to be sacrificed to a living hell?
to the slave, the difference between the right and the left is power. the right simply has more, and has chosen not to include the left. the left has shown it wouldn’t include the slave, so given the same power, the left would simply become the new fascist ruling force
that isn’t all. within the framework of an opposing left and right, of the infinite nuance of enemies of enemies, and the binary of good and bad, the left is still a wing of fascism. it is still required to maintain fascism, outside its role of also putting the slave in its place
the left, and especially it’s dilution, of power differentials and of slave revolts and energy, are key to progressing the right’s current brand of domination. the left stifles the real anti-fascist force, and symbiotically provides reason for the right to increase authority
the left is a series of false attacks on the statehood; of false opposition. true opposition would not leave aside the worst off from the violence the left presents itself as opposed to. these false attacks do not threaten the stability of the state but give the illusion that —
the state must be strengthened. they are a form of propaganda continually given to the right that ultimately kills the slave, or, sacrifices it to a living hell. when the left invade slave revolts, the state uses this as an excuse to openly murder more slaves
to put the slave in its place. the left is either ignorant of this via apathy for the slave and her children, or it perceives this process and is uncaring for hostility towards the slave and her children. in either case, playing in tandem with the right, the fascist, against us
the left is no less fascist than the right. it desires an expanding of the ruling class, of the exalted human, to itself and its kin, but never to the slave. it exploits the slave’s energy and bodies to further its anti-slave agenda, no different than the right.
the world must be free of the human itself, of exaltation and slavery, and not simply of intra-human stratification. for what is revolution or liberation that doesn’t free the worst off?
