A-Infos (en) Italy, FAI, Umanita Nova #22-25 - Queer as in Partenop3! Being queer in Naples (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

We are. ---- We have been here for three thousand years, everywhere in 
the lands of the Mediterranean and beyond. ---- Throughout history, we 
have been apotropaic beings, monsters, gods, priestesses, witches, and 
abominations. ---- But above all, we are what shapes all of humanity at 
its foundations; we are the engine and solar core of the flame that 
burns at the heart of forgotten history in all its true forms. ---- That 
of anarchist traditions, that of the outcasts and condemned, of the 
Spartachi and Masianielli disappeared amid the cover-ups of a 
heteropatriarchal and Eurocentric Academicism, the rhetoric of popular 
national chauvinism of the Italian republican system and of the 
international system of ALL nation states, which at multiple levels, 
whether through whitewashing or pure totalitarian repression, seek to 
determine our lives and our essences. We are Femmenèll?, we sacrificed 
our bodies, already exploited and raped, on the barricades of San 
Giovanniello against Nazi-fascism in the libertarian Four Days of 
Naples, where the population self-organized in horizontal and 
transversal ways, and where, while we Neapolitans were carrying out the 
liberation, the Americans waited at the city walls. We are every woman, 
man, and trans and queer person who confronts Capital and Statism every 
day with our presence in the city and in liberation movements. We know 
that Capital will not emancipate us, that the State will not grant us 
rights and infrastructure for our self-determination, and we know that 
Nationalism cannot be the vector of our cultural and bioregional 
identity. And we know that our future is built by critically navigating 
every intersection of oppression: genderization, racism, ableism, and 
cultural and economic classism.

We at Mastrogiovanni wish to extend our solidarity to every racialized 
and gendered community, the lifeblood of our Neapolitan ecology's 
sociality, to the proletariat and the precarious workers in this city 
who are exhausted by the yoke of profit and its infamous laws, and to 
all those with disabilities left without the prospect of a dignified 
life. Fifty-six years after the Stonewall Revolution, we want to 
remember this small but fiery phrase from Marsha P. Johnson: "No pride 
for some of us without liberation for all of us."

And precisely in this way, we want to remember Pride: a prefiguration of 
liberation for the entire world, without hierarchies or borders. Free 
Palestine. Bijî berxwedana Rojava. Free All Antifa.
