CHAPTER

The Politics of Family Abolition

Sophie Lewis and I discussed the re-emergence of family abolition as a discourse among the left in recent years. M.E.'s new book should be essential reading for those who are skeptical or critical of it, we said. We also talked about how the crisis of capitalist overproduction changed the nature of the family in the second half of the 20th century. If you enjoy this discussion please go back to our previous Red Medicine interview with Sophie Lewis where she first appeared.
