introduction post

I am a white woman in her twenties. I live in a former socialist republic, I am autistic, bisexual and het-partnered. I have been raised catholic but recently I have been looking into witchcraft. I like doing sports, my favorites are running and swimming. I also have a lot of plants around my house and balcony which I love. English is not my first language, so excuse me if I sometimes sound weird haha

I have been active in my local LGBT-community for some years, I especially volunteered in an organisation by going to schools and advising the classes and teachers in how to be more inclusive of different ethnicities and LGBT students. I have also been active in our local LGBT youth group. In the last two years, I have been more active in volunteering for refugees and asylum seekers. Many of the refugees I have translated and organised stuff for have fled domestic abuse, and I have come into connection with feminism through their insights. My experiences with lesbian, gay and bisexual refugees and women who fled abusive environments have led me to adopt a more materialist worldview, instead of the identity-centered type of activism that most of the people in the LGBT-youth groups had. In the last couple of months, I also got more interested in environmental activism and have been active there, but with all the identity-focused bs it is really hard to not just give up haha I also was part of our local Antifa group for a while, but they were quite extremist and I don't support them anymore.

I would call myself a materialist feminist, and I really like a lot of Marx's and Engel's work. I think that the patriarchy is part of the system of justification for why people are forced to perform free labour under a capitalism: childcare, emotional labour, pregnancy, domestic work etc. are unpaid labour that are justified by patriarchal expectations of women. l believe that true women's liberation can only be achieved when the grueling inequality in our society is lessened and the resources are distributed at least somewhat justly. What that looks like, I don't know, but I think that encouraging women to recognize themselves as an exploited class is crucial in the process of societal liberation and justice.

However, I know that I am quite privileged: I am white, from an industrialized country, and in a straight relationship. There are things that I don't understand as well, and I want to learn from people who have more insight where I have none. Please call me out if you feel that I made a mistake, because I honestly want to evolve my worldview. I really think that we can improve things together.

1, 9, & 13 for the historical ask game!

1: Favourite historical person

I'll probably have to go with Magnus Hirschfeld. I have a tremendous amount of respect for the work he did, both his advocacy for gay and trans rights and the pioneering of trans surgeries. I have yet to read a biography of him or anything like that, but the things I do know about his personal life are rather endearing (and amusing) too.

A lot of people around him seem to have described him as the "dad" of the found family around the Institut für Sexualwissenschaft. He was enough a part of the gay scene in Berlin to have had a nickname within it -- Tante Magnesia (Aunt Magnesia). He was in a long term relation with a man called Karl Giese who also worked with him at the institute and iirc whose mother was present at a drag party they hosted (see image below, the elderly lady to the far left).

While on his world tour, though, he began a relationship with his Chinese translator, medical student Li Shiu Tong (nicknamed Tao Li by Hirschfeld and known by that name with his European friends). He never went back to Germany from his world tour due to the Nazis destroying his institute, so he and Li Shiu Tong went to Paris where Karl Giese joined them. They ended up as a throuple lol.

9: Favourite Historical Film

Hmm, probably either 1917 for how it uses its cinematography to convey the misery of the trenches or Portrait of a Lady on Fire for being an excellent lesbian romance with characters who think and act in a way that seems plausible to the setting. Most of my favourite historical fiction is in the form of tv shows, though.

13: Something random about some random historical person in a random era

Heh, I kind of already did that with Hirschfeld! To be honest, my interest in history is much more based on broad trends and ideas or groups of people rather than individuals, so idk...

Friedrich Engels pretended to his rich bourgeois family that he'd left his radical politics behind to get a job in the family business so he could fund Marx's writing. When Engels wanted to publish an article, he had it published in Marx's name so his family wouldn't know and this is why there are some texts where it's not 100% clear who of them wrote it.

Thanks for asking!

@lifblogs asked me a few days ago if I was gonna share the list of books I read this year. So, I'm gonna do that.

The capitalist mode of production requires a continually growing workforce in order to meet the production demands of a ‘constantly expanding market’. This, in turn, requires continued and widespread heterosexual reproduction in order that capitalist states continue to profit from overpopulation.

Beyond the active workforce, the capitalist mode of production also requires overpopulation in order to maintain a ‘reserve army of labour’. The reserve army of labour — a term coined by Engels and later expanded upon by Marx — refers to the capitalist interest in maintaining an unemployed population, whose purpose is twofold. Firstly, the reserve army of labour can be conscripted to meet growing production demands; and secondly, it can be used to drive down the cost of labour through competition for employment when not actively required for production.

[...]

Adoption and surrogacy notwithstanding, heterosexual relationships are the only form of sexual relationship to produce viable offspring. Therefore, historically, heterosexuality has been legally enforced or otherwise socially encouraged in economies concerned with increasing production. Conversely, homosexuality has been repressed by state apparatus — through legislation, policing, prejudice and discrimination. Modern capitalism, however, has developed much more efficient means with which to manipulate the size of the workforce — predominantly migration. It could be argued that migration replacing sexual reproduction as the primary method of population control has resulted in a softening of legislative homophobia, at least in the West.

Throughout history, the ostracisation of homosexuals has been so extreme that many societies have fabricated separate social classes to ‘other’ gay men, lesbians and gender non-conforming people. Of course, acknowledging the existence of homosexuality would shatter the illusion that the heterosexual pairing family is the only possible familial structure. Similarly, acceptance of gender non-conforming individuals casts doubt on the socially constructed notion that men and women’s personality traits fall neatly into the sex stereotypes designed to ensure men and women fulfil their productive and reproductive potential (men as workers and woman as birth-givers, caregivers and domestic servants). If these ideas were allowed to flourish, society may, over time, shift away from the capitalist ideal of the codependent, monogamous, heterosexual pairing family and, thus, individuals may no longer compliantly partake in reproductive labour.[...]
