It explores the relationship between homosexuality, homophobia, and capitalism, highlighting the efficiency of capitalism in co-opting perversions and selling them wholesale and retail. Mieli proposes the liberation of homosexual desire through the emancipation of sexuality from patriarchal sex roles and capital, drawing on Marx and psychoanalysis. This neglected classic is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand sexual liberation under capitalism today. \u003c\/blockquote\u003e\u003cp\u003e                                                            \u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: Paperback \/ softback\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 320 pages\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublication date\u003c\/strong\u003e: 20 May 2018\u003cbr\u003e                              \u003cstrong\u003ePublisher\u003c\/strong\u003e: Pluto Press\u003cbr\u003e                          \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMario Mieli's groundbreaking book, originally published in Italian in 1977, is a significant landmark in revolutionary queer theory. Now available in a complete and unabridged English translation, this essay remains a radical challenge to contemporary queer theory and politics. Mieli's essay explores the relationship between homosexuality, homophobia, and capitalism, highlighting the efficiency with which capitalism co-opts perversions and sells them both wholesale and retail. He argues that the liberation of homosexual desire requires the emancipation of sexuality from both patriarchal sex roles and capital. Drawing heavily upon Marx and psychoanalysis, Mieli offers a dazzlingly original vision in his book Towards a Gay Communism, which is a hitherto neglected classic that will be essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the true meaning of sexual liberation under capitalism today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 322g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 137 x 215 x 24 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780745399515                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mario Mieli","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":43740701491450,"sku":"9780745399515","price":17.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/b4d5a3b0da3f04de36bb869660ccac88.jpg?v=1630118513","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/towards-a-gay-communism-elements-of-a-homosexual-critique","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
