Why my pillows never stay in the pillow cases?
I look at it not as intentional poverty, because we face a contradiction to survive, but a rejection of the assimilation narrative that poverty is something to be escaped. Which, actually is one of the ways capitalism has tried to control dissent, by tokenizing certain people of color, those who can pass in institutional settings, and elevating them out of their communities and granting them access to institutional power. Taking the hope and change out of organic community space. Basically, perpetuating this want to leave their ‘class condition’ by subscribing to the liberal idea of meritocracy. Rejection of work, or their notions or assignments of value, is actually kind of a transitional mentality. It refuses to engage a narrative of competition. Instead of getting a ‘good’ job, you get a meaningless one. On purpose. Instead of using your talent to get money, you use it to subvert and agitate. Devalue money, redefine ‘labor’, subvert the false Work narrative of positional power, stability, society…. to sustain revolt not ‘success’. If it is not voluntary, Work only commodifies your time. If we do not redefine our collective labor, if we don’t have the time to build the resistance, then we won’t have reclamation of labor power (which we all know is a\the way to destabilize capitalism).
