"We write to say what few others have claimed: the panicking industrialists of the early twentieth century were correct in their hysterics. The severing of health from capital will mark the end of capitalism." #HealthCommunism

"the primary sites of violence under capitalism are not those that lead directly to death. They are instead the quotidian forms that situate capitalist belonging; the reproduction of norms socially as well as legally and administratively, abetted by a “cynical din of knowledge production” that institutionalizes logics of eugenics and austerity."

@msteenhagen I read the chapter very different than you. Not as a model of how #HealthCommunism should look like (that would be closer to Act Up in the previous chapters, without getting co-opted, & with intersectionality core and center), but more as a case in point of what can happen, when sick people get together to get organized politically behind anti-capitalist values, the threat this seems to represents to capital. And a state, that went as far as condemning SPK as terrorists etc.

CW: HealthCommunism Krankheit Kapitalismus
In ihrem Buch #HealthCommunism sprechen die Autor·inn·en von "extractive abandonment" (extraktives Imstichlassen?), sie beziehen sich dabei auf den Umgang mit Kranken/Behinderten im kap. System, bezeichnen diese Haltung als sowohl konstitutiv wie überlebensnotwendig für den Kapitalismus. Der gesellschaftliche "Überschuss" (surplus) wird sowohl im Stich gelassen als auch kommodifiziert. Der Kern des Kapitalismus zittert, wenn Kranke sich organisieren. Let's.

@momorulez Im Buch #HealthCommunism sprechen die Autor·inn·en von "extractive abandonment", sie beziehen sich dabei auf den Umgang mit Kranken und Behinderten im kap. System, bezeichnen diese Haltung als sowohl konstitutiv wie überlebensnotwendig für den Kapitalismus. Der gesellschaftliche "Überschuss" wird gleichzeitig aufgegeben und kommodifiziert.
So stelle ich mir auch hier die Frage, was ist das Ziel hier? Sind die unterdrückten Massen auf Twitter zu laut geworden in ihrer Kritik? -
Darum: Let's get organised!
Die sog. Kranken, Behinderten, Alten (zusammen mit intersektional gedacht allen Marginaliserten und Unterdrückten), kurz allen unter dem Kapitalismus zu Überfluss (Surplus) abgestempelten Menschen, wir haben es in der Hand dem K/S die Definitionsmacht über Gesundheit/Krankheit zu entreissen und die Maschine zum stoppen zu bringen.
Let's.

I can only recommend #HealthCommunism, read this book by Beatrice Adler-Bolton and Artie Vierkant (on verso). It offers imho nothing less than a new perspective to the radical left, a new focal point that could join many of the divisions. If we understand how capital is tied to health, one one hand dependent on, on the other hand it commodifies it, we understand the sick/healthy divide is a crucial one.
From the chapter WASTE: "Malingerers of the world unite."

Hier ein Thread meiner Quotes aus dem Buch #HealthCommunism, leider noch auf dem Vogel.
"Für alle die sich für Gesundheitspolitik, Ableismus, Eugenik, "Behinderung" im kapitalistischen System interessieren: Holt euch dieses Buch.
Eine messerscharfe Analyse zu Gesundheit und Krankheit im Kapitalismus aus hochaktueller, marxistischer Sicht."
