Identity Politics Megazine
€2.70
Identity politics is a huge framework upholding current-day liberal politics. But what is a radical take on identity politics? How do we keep addressing intersectional systems of oppression without falling into the trap of liberal identity politics? These six zines will answer these questions and more.
Dangerous Foundations
Written by a queer person, this zine provides an argument against the “identity” in identity politics. Instead of focusing on an essentialist idea of identity, they want to focus on the politics of feminism, anti-racism, and queer liberation instead!
Essentialism and Identity Politics
One of the main problems with identity politics is essentialism. And this zine explains exactly what that means and why it is a problem.
Lines in the sand
This zine contains three essays by Peter Gelderloos that take a critical look at what identity politics and anti-oppression politics bring to anarchist movements. But they also provide thoughtful explorations of the problematic aspects of these politics. Ultimately trying to discern which politics and practices are useful to carry forward and which we should ditch.
With allies like these who needs enemies
This zine is about the problems of focusing on privilege reduction as opposed to fighting oppressive power structures. It includes a historical overview of how people have done these things, what went wrong, and how we can improve it in the future.
Bash Back is Dead, Bash Back Forever
This is pure Bash Back! It is a chaotic anthology of texts about the Bash Back! Project and queerness. It is queer nihilist anarchism, against essentialism, and liberal cooptation.
Ain’t no PC gonna fix it, baby
Being an ally is not and should not be an identity. This zine provides a critique of ally politics. It takes apart the concept of “ally” in political work with a focus on race but is obviously applicable to other identity experiences.
