Socialism 2026 Conference Speaker: Deployment of GLP-1 Drugs Is ‘Fascistic’ Because It Exists in ‘a World Fixated on Genociding Fat People’
‘But to understand why deployment of GLP-1 drugs is fascistic requires turning to Frantz Fanon’s account of black flesh under colonial surveillance’
EXCERPT:
HARRISON: “The political deployment of GLP-1s is fascistic, not because individuals take them, but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people. This is a structural critique that asks what happens when the conditions produced by capitalism, by public health, by the state apparatus, and by anti-black desire align around a single bodily ideal that leaves little to no room for divergence and punishes any body that does.”
