The Enemy Outside and the Enemy Within: Audre Lorde’s Antidote to Despair

https://fed.brid.gy/r/https://www.themarginalian.org/2026/05/12/audre-lorde-despair/

"Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, comprávamos potes de plástico hermeticamente fechados com uma margarina incolor dentro, que vinha com uma cápsula pequena e densa de corante amarelo, posta como um topázio do lado de fora da embalagem clara. Deixávamos a margarina no sol um tempo, para amaciar, e aí furávamos a pequena cápsula na massa macia e pálida da margarina. Então, pegando a embalagem com cuidado entre os dedos, balançávamos cuidadosamente pra frente e pra trás, várias vezes, até que a cor estivesse se espalhado completamente por todo o pote de margarina, colorindo-a perfeitamente.

O erótico é esse cerne dentro de mim. Quando liberado de seu invólucro intenso e constritor, ele flui através de minha vida, colorindo-a com o tipo de energia que amplia e sensibiliza e fortalece toda minha experiência. Fomos criadas pra temer o sim dentro de nós, nossos mais profundos desejos. Mas quando aprendemos a identificá-los, aqueles que não melhoram nosso futuro perdem seu poder e podem ser mudados. O medo de nossos desejos os mantém suspeitos e indiscriminadamente poderosos, já que suprimir qualquer verdade é dotá-la de uma força insuportável. O medo de que não vamos dar conta de crescer além de quaisquer distorções que possamos achar em nós mesmas é que nos mantém dóceis, leais e obedientes, definidas pelo que vem de fora, e que nos leva a aceitar muitos aspectos da opressão que sofremos por sermos mulheres. Quando vivemos fora de nós mesmas, e com isso quero dizer que vivemos por diretrizes alheias unicamente, mais que por nossa sabedoria e necessidades internas, quando vivemos longe daquelas trilhas eróticas de dentro de nós mesmas, então nossas vidas estão limitadas pelas formas externas e alheias, e nós nos conformamos com as necessidades de uma estrutura que não é baseada na necessidade humana, e muito menos nas individuais.

Mas quando começamos a viver desde dentro pra fora, conectadas ao poder do erótico dentro de nós e permitindo que esse poder preencha e inspire nossas formas de atuar com o mundo que nos rodeia, então é que começamos a ser responsáveis por nós mesmas no sentido mais profundo. Pois ao começarmos a identificar nossos sentimentos mais profundos é que desistimos de nos satisfazer com sofrimento e auto-negação, e o embotamento que tantas vezes parece ser a única alternativa a isso em nossa sociedade. Nossos atos contra a opressão se tornam íntegros com sermos, motivados e empoderados desde dentro.

Em contato com o erótico, eu me rebelo contra a aceitação do enfraquecimento e de todos os estados de meu ser que não são próprios de mim, que me foram impostos, como a resignação, o desespero, o auto-aniquilamento, a depressão, a auto-negação."

"Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare."
— Audre Lorde, 1988

Today honors three who refused to wait to be invited: Rustin, Rivera, Lorde.

This is a good article about Cory Doctorow's weird and self-serving misunderstanding of Audre Lord's famous observation about the master's tools. The author explains that Doctorow takes the line out of context and then tells us that his example of antitrust law "would be a defensible claim if that was the argument Audre Lorde was making in the first place."

In other words she seems to agree with Doctorow that antitrust law is an example of the master's tools dismantling the master's house, or at least not to completely dismiss this claim. But even though Lorde wasn't talking about this kind of tool her analysis still holds, even for antitrust law and other regulatory structures that superficially seem to limit capitalist exploitation.

One of capitalism:s biggest maintenance problems is that their victims inevitably realize what's being done to them and rebel. The ruling classes inevitably respond by moving things around so that the exploitation can continue but in more hidden ways. For instance Anglo-American chattel slavery was not only horrific but obviously visibly horrific. Everyone could see the horror. There was a huge abolitionist movement in Britain and ongoing slave rebellions, including the consequential 1831 Baptist War, which apparently involved around 60K of the 300K enslaved people in Jamaica.[1] Just two years later the Slavery Abolition Act of 1833 took effect.[2] The British government didn't abolish slavery to protect slaves from exploitation but to protect capitalism from short-sighted capitalists who didn't recognize the peril their whole project was in due to popular resistance. The Brits offshored slavery's contributions to their economy to the American south, where it was still viable, at least for a while.

If the very abolition of slavery didn't dismantle the master's house there's no reason to expect that breaking up a monopoly or two is going to destroy capitalism. The ruling class doesn't create laws they can't work around. They wait till popular resistance threatens their exploitative project and then pass laws that silence the resistance but don't actually solve the problem. The Pure Food and Drug Act, all of FDR's social welfare measures, etc. These are not tools with which the master's house can be dismantled. They're tools our masters use to strengthen their house's foundations.

"You do not have to be me in order for us to fight alongside each other. I do not have to be you to recognize that our wars are the same. What we must do is commit ourselves to some future that can include each other and to work toward that future with the particular strengths of our individual identities. And in order for us to do this, we must allow each other our differences at the same time as we recognize our sameness." - Audre Lorde, Sister Outsider

non Black people who are calling on Black People to help them are just playing psy ops to the eternal loop; so things just repeat and never change.

The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house. They may allow us temporarily to beat him at his own game, but they will never allow us to bring about genuine change. Audre Lorde

Zitat(wieder)fund des Tages: Audre Lorde in "Age, Race, Class, and Sex: Women Redefining Difference", 1984.
"The need for unity is often misnamed as a need for homogeneity..."
So viele Kämpfe und Diskussionen unter marginalisierten Gruppen sind tatsächlich exzellent damit beschrieben, dass wir Eintracht mit Gleichförmigkeit verwechseln.(Und zur Herstellung von Identitäten tatsächlich Gleichförmigkeit einfordern.)

Paraphrasing #AudreLorde

I, a white skin Western European trans person with some privilege,.am not free as long as any other woman, f.i. a black woman with young kids and residence problems, is not free, however different her shackles are from mine. Because we both fight against the patriarchy and the racialising, sanist system.

Your silence will not protect you.

And finally, @CultureDesk shared a little music, a Tiny Desk concert from Grammy winner Meshell Ndegeocello. Her profound, thoughtful songs focus on love, race, sexuality and religion; she is committed to being herself and speaking her truth. Listen to her concert here, which includes “Thus Sayeth The Lorde,” a song from her latest album with the Audre Lorde quote, “If I did not define myself for myself, I’d be crunched into other people’s fantasies for me and eaten alive.”

@nobody Definitiv "All lives matter"-Vibes!
Fiel dir auf, dass unter den getöteten Menschen keine einzige weiße Frau ist?
Zur Intersektionalität möchte ich Dir die erste Person ans Herz legen, die das Konzept inhaltlich öffentlich mit "Ain't I a woman" angesprochen hat.
Und zu "Reduzierung" möchte ich die wunderbare Audre Lorde zitieren: "There is no thing as a single-issue struggle because we do not live single-issue lives."

@black_intellect An interesting link of recent Afro-german history to the US is, that #AudreLorde catalysed the founding of the #ISD (Initiative Schwarze Deutsche [Initiative of Black Germans]) while she taught as a professor in her Berlin year.

Protest sign part of an #LGBTQ history exhibition last year at the Barbican.
