Manifesto for a Deviant Democracy

Where fascism believes that only certain lives are worth living, Queer and feminist thought teaches us that all lives matter. Between political philosophy and intimate story, this essay by the journalist and founder from the media Manifesto XXI Costanza Spina demonstrates that capitalist democracies have never really rethought their affiliation with authoritarian regimes, and how the “deviants” in the shadow of productive and violent systems have learned to love each other, to care for each other, to render justice differently. She theorizes thus the queer romantic revolution as a radical struggle, and challenges reinventing oneself through the revolutionary imaginaries of love.
