Anti-kapitalistisch leben, wie? #3 – Thinking about Care, Rest & Desire

Capitalism breeds anti-capitalists, writes Erik Olin Wright. But what does that actually look like not just in theory, but in how we live, relate, and organize together?

Capitalism thrives on exhaustion, isolation, and control. It tells us our worth is measured by productivity. Patriarchy and capitalism together shape how we care, how we rest, and even what we desire.

We are taught to care in ways that reproduce inequality, to rest only when we’ve „earned“ it, and to desire within the limits of what can be bought or owned.
Inspired by thinkers such as Angela Davis, who reminds us that class, race, and gender are inseparable, this workshop explores how these intimate spheres of life are political, and how rethinking them might open space for collective resistance and liberation.

We’ll move from the personal to the collective: asking how practices of rest, care, and desire can inform how we imagine and build anti-capitalist worlds.

Please come in comfortable clothing (Changing rooms available). This will be an open discussion and relaxation session.

Magda El Sayed is a sociologist, political scientist and a librarian-archivist at the Black archive of the community-based empowerment project EOTO. She is currently pursuing a master’s degree in Intercultural Conflict Management, where her research focuses on anti-colonial resistance movements and the politics of liberation, with a particular focus on Sudan.

At the end of the series, there will be a radio program on Cashmere Radio with the content of the past workshops. The conversations at the workshop will be audio recorded for this purpose. By taking part, participants agree to the recording and use for the radio show.
