“Death to gender. Freedom to the queers.”

That’s the first line of the Gender Accelerationist Manifesto, and it doesn’t get any less unhinged from there. Welcome to Counter-Revolutionary Book Club, where we dive into the real documents that drive queer Marxist activism—the ones that never make it to the radar of most people commentating on the left. These are the documents that shape the subculture. And this one? It’s a straight-up battle cry for the total abolition of gender, capitalism, the state, and even queerness itself.

What Is Gender Accelerationism?

This manifesto, published in 2019 by Vikky Storm and Eim Flores, isn’t just theory. It’s a political strategy.

“Gender accelerationism is class abolitionism applied to gender.”

Translation: Burn the whole thing down. The gender binary (man/woman), the nuclear family, capitalism, state power, biology itself—it’s all part of the same oppressive machine, and the only way out is total destruction.


KEY CLAIMS FROM THE MANIFESTO

“Gender is a class system.”

  • Man = ruling class. Woman = working class. Queer = revolutionary class.

  • Men dominate reproductive labor. Women produce the next generation of workers. Queer people reject the system entirely.

“Sex isn’t biological. It’s a social fiction.”

  • Bodies aren’t male or female. They’re just lumps of meat that get “gendered” by capitalist culture.

  • Genitals, chromosomes, even secondary sex characteristics? All tools of oppression.

“Gender must be abolished—not reformed.”

  • Liberals want to reform the system. Queer Marxists want to destroy it.

  • No assimilation. No compromise. No participation in “patriarchal marriage,” capitalism, or mainstream LGBT rights.

“We need militias.”

  • The authors call for “queer militias” to wage violent revolution.

  • Their vision is a “dictatorship of the queer” enforced by a “pink terror”—a violent insurrection against gender norms and state power.


WHAT THEY ACTUALLY WANT

Let’s decode the strategy:

  • Nonbinary propaganda in schools isn’t about acceptance. It’s about breaking kids out of the binary before they’re old enough to question it.

  • The goal is not more genders—it’s no genders. No man. No woman. No queer. Just post-gender, post-human, post-sanity chaos.

  • Their method is culture, not politics. They aren’t running for office. They’re radicalizing youth through identity, aesthetics, art, and online communities. And they’re winning.


THIS ISN’T THEORY. IT’S A WAR PLAN.

The Gender Accelerationist Manifesto isn’t some obscure Tumblr screed. It’s read, shared, taught, and treated like gospel by the radical queer activist subculture. It builds directly off earlier works like Against the Gendered Nightmare and leads directly into later texts like Gender Nihilism and Toward the Queerest Insurrection. Each one escalates.

You can’t fight what you don’t understand. That’s why we read their words. And this one? It’s a blueprint for civilizational collapse.

“We must destroy gender on our own terms. Not on theirs.”

They mean it.
