Democratic Socialist & Queer Liberation
Queer, especially trans people, have long been used as a projection of all the ills caused by capitalism’s contradictions in the United Kingdom and the rest of the western world. I see it as my goal to fight against capitalism and the bigotry it creates in all shapes and methods. I believe we can turn Your Party into an inclusive organization whose focus is class war, yet showcases what a world without classes looks like within its own ranks. That also means having our understanding of gender rise above the binary view, and establishing FLINTA* (Women, Lesbian, Intersex, Nonbinary, Transgender, Agender) seats for internal and public office Your Party positions, to show our gender queer comrades they are very much welcome here. This is among the reasons I’ve signed the Your Party LGBTQIA+ open letter to have a clear stance on how nonbinary members can run for the CEC! This method of dividing candidates is custom in many European left parties, which showcases just one of the many ideas I will bring into Your Party from my international work with leftist parties across the globe.
Ensuring there will be no tolerance for transphobia, as much focus on grassroots organizing and using parliaments as a stage as possible, making sure our internal work gets the right tools, and our other work the right publicity, will be my goal if I am elected member of the Central Executive Committe.
A new kind of party, for an old world that's dying.
That’s my goal! Long has Britain been plagued with a political deadlock. The lie of parliamentarianism and voting for others to fight for your well-being, cannot expose itself enough with a Labour government that serves only as a transition of power to Reform. After all, what did voting Labour change? The genocide in Gaza is still ongoing and supported, the NHS is underfunded and austerity politics of that kind are continued, more deportations, more surveillance, more authoritarian crackdowns of civil protest.
Your Party represents the hope of systemic change that we so desperately need. Not only do I want to bring that change without us becoming a Labour 2.0, a manager of crisis, and step into the faux pas of electoralism instead of community organizing, but also do I wish to ensure that trans liberation remains an important topic on our path. As a trans person myself I see no other way but to connect the fight for trans liberation with the fight against capitalist oppression, for they are one and the same. We need to think our struggles intersectionally, because there will be no liberation for one of us, without the liberation of all of us!
