Socialist Standard | The Socialist Party of Great Britain

"Neurodivergence is not purely created by capitalism...but the way it manifests today is shaped by the demands and pressures of this system.
Traits like hyperfocus, pattern recognition, and creative thinking can help people resist the nonsense of capitalism. Yet capitalism only values these traits when they increase productivity.
The fight against capitalism must also be a fight for neurodivergent liberation." ✊♾️

"We don‘t need to fix our brains.
We need to fix the world that‘s crushing them."

quietlycuriouskate Next time I'm late getting the tea on because I lost all track of time, I'm reframing it as "resisting the nonsense of capitalism", a system which, I note, does not value such acts of service anyway as they don't make money. 6d

Bookwomble @quietlycuriouskate I still blame Thatcher on a regular basis: seems valid! 😄 It's the stress of living under the artificialities of capitalism that causes burnout. And, no, if it can't be monetised, those parts of our lives aren't valued beyond the element of physical maintenance required for obligatory work. 6d

bibliothecarivs Very interesting idea. Thanks for sharing. 6d

Back from Manchester Trans Pride March a little tired and much inspired! #TransRightsAreHumanRights ✊?️‍⚧️

#SocialistStandard #1452 was waiting on the door mat, speaking of which, Kier Starmer makes the cover following his meetings with ??
Obvs, the SPGB aren't fans of Labour, and this issue sets out what they're getting wrong (equally obvs, not dismantling capitalism!).
The "Capitalism is Mental" article looks like it might be interesting.
