Scholars at the event, like Da\u2019Shaun Harrison and Beatrice Adler-Bolton, argued that control over Black bodies and fatness are central to systemic governance and that pursuing health or fitness under capitalism is a form of fascism. They also promoted the notion that rejecting fitness and health standards could serve revolutionary purposes by sabotaging the existing order. The conference included provocative discussions on health, body image, and social rebellion, often with a tone of disdain for conventional health norms, highlighting a radical and controversial ideological stance that rejects customary notions of health and well-being as tools of oppressive systems. The article criticizes these ideas as illogical and disconnected from practical realities, noting that many speakers are well-off and can afford healthcare, contrasting with those who suffer the consequences of radical policies.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>When Marx and Engels coined the term <i>lumpenproletariat <\/i>in \u201cThe Communist Manifesto,\u201d I don\u2019t think what was on display at a far-left conference over the weekend was what they had in mind.<\/p>\n<p>While most of us had better things to do over the Labor Day holiday, America\u2019s leftists (or those that could afford to attend, anyway) gathered at the <a href=\"https:\/\/socialismconference.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Socialism 2026<\/a> conference in Chicago.

But I digress, because the whole shindig was ridiculous on a level that should genuinely be frightening when you realize these are the crazies on the political ascendancy right now.<\/p>\n<p>Among the ideas being discussed on panels at the conference: The idea that the concept of being physically fit was actually \u201cbody fascism\u201d and that people should strive to be \u201cmore dysgenic\u201d \u2014 i.e., less hereditarily fit \u2014 because it disrupts \u201cthe ruling order.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The conference, according to its <a href=\"https:\/\/socialismconference.org\/faqs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">website<\/a>, was about \u201cbringing together thousands of socialists and radical activists from around the country to take part in discussions about social movements, abolition, Marxism, decolonization, working-class history, and the debates and strategies for organizing today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of those strategies? Being, getting, or staying unfit.<\/p>\n<p>The first of these viral clips comes from Da\u2019Shaun L. Harrison, a <a href=\"https:\/\/dashaunharrison.com\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">self-described<\/a> \u201cblack fat studies\u201d scholar and author of \u201cBelly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness.\u201d Harrison, a self-proclaimed \u201cqueer and trans afropessimist and anarchy-communist,\u201d said that the whole point of having people maintain a healthy weight \u2014 or at least black people \u2014 was control.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBlack fatness is made meaningful through suffering, through surveillance, and through control and the policing of Black fat flesh anchors entire systems of governance. Without a population to discipline, there would be no BMI, no obesity epidemic, and no medical or scientific institutions organized around managing fatness,\u201d Harrison said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe diet industry reflects this logic. It operates through what I once defined as formal and informal relationships among major food corporations, the medical-industrial complex, and individual wealthy benefactors to sustain a social order in which fat people are monitored, restricted, guilted, stolen from, and punished. Diet culture has always linked food to morality, framing restraint as virtue and pleasure as danger through language like \u2018guilty pleasure.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEvery time a government decides whose body must be protected and whose bodies must be erased for the sake of national imagery, this is body fascism,\u201d Harrison said. \u201cEvery time there is a call for sovereignty by state powers with the intent to maintain borders, this is body fascism.
