ALT Marxism & Disability Network Call for 2027 event proposals
ALT "The UK has been on this trajectory since Thatcher’s neoliberal reforms of 1979 and the logic of privatisation and austerity intersects with and intensifies the logic of social murder. Descriptions of it as “slow” or “structural” or “bureaucratic” violence belie how widespread and relentless and effective this form of mass extermination of surplus populations truly is. We suggest what these phrases capture most of all is how tolerated this form of violence is; the social murder of the surplus class is demonstrably not objectionable enough to have been opposed by the proletariat, perhaps because its victims are so Othered: abject non-Subjects composed by various minoritised identities (read: non-white, non-male, non-cishetero, disabled, non-citizens, etc.), not the proper working class."

It features large, curvaceous stylized flowers and twisting acanthus leaves - set against a background of smaller, entwined vines and leaves. The title "Disabling Capitalism: A Critical Inquiry Into Work, Productivism, and Disablement" by Ioana Cerasella Chis is displayed on a yellow rectangle.
