Reposting what I initially said here (I think pro-trans liberation media and fiction and all that stuff should also count!).

I'm also trying to curate Marxist literature and put it in document for everyone to see.

Let me know if you come across any leftist, socialist, communist, etc. cinema/movies, videos, literature (fictional), TV shows/streaming serials, and other works of art in its entirety.

Give me the names and basic info so I can put it in my document for others to see eventually (I'm still working on it).

Oh, and video games especially are good in this regard (I already put in Disco Elysium lol).

UNJUST DEPTHS is marxist transgender lesbian scifi about communists from a mining colony that successfully revolted 20 years ago arming leftist insurgents in the empire they fought, it's fantastic.

marxist transgender lesbian scifi

why have you thrown all my favorite things into one description

[โ€“] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

well i wanted to come up with the simplest most accurate descriptor i could think of, and "marxist transgender lesbian scifi" gets most of the way there. it doesn't mention that it's on a post-apocalyptic earth where people can only live underwater in colonies and on submarines, or that it's specifically a mecha series, but those aren't the core important bits

also it just has a massive cast that primarily consists of transgender lesbians. like, i can probably count on one hand the number of major important characters who are for sure cis, and would need several more arms to count all the confirmed trans ones.

honestly its amazing and it should be a trans cult classic at this point

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

hard to be a cult classic when it's ongoing, but i should be seeing people talk about it all the time. everyone on hexbear should be reading it and talking about how it rules, especially people on c/traa

I'm not sure it's 100% what you're looking for, but Night in the Woods is a game that's pretty explicit about "we live in late stage capitalism and it's terrible, we need unions / worker's rights / etc.". It also has an anti-fascist trans character, which is pretty rad.

Stuff like this is exactly what I'm looking for.

Putting this down!

They're probably already on your list, but:

  • The Murder of Fred Hampton (1971) โ€“ live footage from the life of Fred Hampton in the Chicago Black Panthers, very dry content but super cool stuff to have on tape
  • Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) โ€“ dramatization of William O'Neale's time as an informant on the Chicago Black Panthers, as well as his eventual betrayal of Fred Hampton, very solid (what got me researching the Panthers more in the first place)
