Queer Anarchism

From Polcompball Wiki


Queer Anarchism, commonly referred to by the abbreviations AnQueer or QueerAn, is a culturally far-left and economically left-wing Anarchist ideology.

Queer Anarchism believes in social insurrection, the abolition of the state and capitalism and the anarchist ideal of complete individual freedom as a method of liberation for the LGBT community and the abolition of homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity, the patriarchy, and the gender binary.

History

TQILA

TQILA, The Queer Insurrection and Liberation Army, was a militant organization that was created on July 24, 2017. TQILA was created as a response to LGBT+ oppression in the Islamic State. TQILA was the first LGBT+ group that fought against ISIS, and was the first militant LGBT+ group in the Near East.

Personality

AnQueer is often depicted as passionate about fighting against the state and various other   oppressors and can often be seen vehemently defending   LGBT rights, and although they are generally not particularly violent, they view revolutionary violence as justified in the face of oppression. AnQueer usually associates with other left anarchist or     LGBT ideologies     due to shared ideological values. They are highly critical of   capitalism, which they view as perpetuating a   patriarchal system based upon discrimination, on top of the usual left anarchist critiques, and they often view the   Liberal Dynasty's alleged support for LGBT rights as more virtue signalling than a genuine belief in favor of complete social equality. Depending on the author, AnQueer can also sometimes be depicted as gender non-conforming.

Marcos is all the exploited, marginalised, oppressed minorities resisting and saying `Enough'. He is every minority who is now beginning to speak and every majority that must shut up and listen. He is every untolerated group searching for a way to speak. Everything that makes power and the good consciences of those in power uncomfortable -- this is Marcos.”
