Description

Towards a Gay Communism: Elements of a Homosexual Critique by Mario Mieli First published in 1977, this groundbreaking work is now available for the first time in English. Mario Mieli's influential essay challenges dominant queer theory and politics, arguing that the liberation of homosexual desire requires the emancipation of sexuality from both patriarchal sex roles and capital. Mieli draws on Marxist and psychoanalytic ideas to develop a unique vision of sexual liberation under capitalism. He examines how capitalism co-opts 'perversions' and sells them back to society, highlighting the need for a radical critique of the relationship between homosexuality, homophobia, and economic systems. This book is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the complexities of sexual liberation in the context of capitalist societies.
