We first met Nyx Melody (they/fae pronouns) in November 2023, when I uncovered that this queer psychotherapist was conducting training sessions on treating children—sessions that counted for official continuing education credits for therapists, fully sanctioned by the state of New York.
Recently, I caught up with Nyx and discovered fae is part of a therapy collective that’s unapologetically queer and proudly ideological.
Hello Q’Lective.
Welcome to Q’Lective
Sometimes, the most effective way to understand far-left language and ideas is to see how they manifest in real-world settings.
In this piece, we’ll take a deep dive into Q’Lective’s website, dissecting its language and ideas to expose the ideological machinery at play. Think of it as your anti-indoctrination toolkit—a guide to spotting this stuff when it inevitably creeps into your own corner of the world.
Q’Lective “a collective of queer, gender-expansive and neurodivergent therapists working directly with our communities in occupied Lenapehoking (New York City).”
Collective: A group organized around shared goals or interests, often used in far-left contexts to signal communal ownership, decision-making, and rejection of hierarchical structures.
Queer: More than just an identity, “queer” has become a far-left political ideology aiming to dismantle capitalism, abolish the gender binary, and dissolve the nuclear family.
Gender Expansive: A catch-all term for identities that reject the traditional binary of male and female, making room for an infinite amount of gender expressions outside of the normative, capitalist order.
Neurodivergent: A term rooted in legitimate neurological differences but increasingly co-opted by queer activists, many of whom insist that most autistic individuals are inherently queer.
“Occupied Lenapehoking (New York City)”: A performative land acknowledgment intended to cast modern-day New Yorkers as unworthy occupiers of stolen land.
Q’Lective Values
There’s a lot to take in there. But when you understand that it always boils down to abolishing capitalism, you’ll understand the language:
Collective Liberation: A utopian buzzword used to justify dismantling capitalism in the name of equity, where no one is truly free until every capitalist structure is obliterated, and the Marxist cultural revolution is complete.
Marginalized Communities: Groups handpicked by activists to serve as symbols of victimization, often weaponized to justify sweeping ideological reforms aimed at dismantling capitalism.
Intersections of Multiple Oppressions / Intersectionality: The crown jewel of identity politics, this theory stacks oppressions like a deck of cards to claim that everyone’s victimhood is linked in one grand struggle against capitalism.
Radical Accessibility: The rebranding of accessibility to serve ideological ends, demanding the complete overhaul of capitalist systems to cater to ever-expanding definitions of inclusion, regardless of practicality or cost.
Decolonized Therapy / Healing: Therapy rebranded to remove oppression and to replace individual well-being with collective grievances as a means of resisting capitalism.
Feminist: Once about equality for women, now a heavily politicized movement intertwined with anti-capitalist agendas, prioritizing ideological purity over meaningful progress. Includes trans women as women.
Queer Theories: Academic frameworks that reject traditional understandings of gender and sexuality, advocating for the dismantling of societal norms and the capitalist structures that sustain them.
Antiracism: A reference to systemic racism, where the system that upholds racism is capitalism. If whiteness means capitalism, then anti-racism means anti-capitalism.
Disability Justice: An activist movement that stretches the concept of disability to align with broader social justice narratives, reframing it as a struggle against capitalism rather than focusing on practical support.
Challenging Power Structures: Activist code for dismantling capitalism and any semblance of hierarchy to achieve equity, or a world without hierarchy where everyone has access to all resources.
Dominant Narratives: A perspective used to label things that uphold capitalism as oppressive constructs that must be dismantled.
Equitable: Everyone has access to all resources, no privatized ownership. Marxism.
Systemic Injustice: A catch-all phrase for blaming every societal ill on capitalism, often used to justify radical policy overhauls and anti-capitalist rhetoric.
About The Q’Lective
The Q’Lective’s team members specialize in topics related to and not limited to gender, sexuality, kink, BDSM, non-monogamy, sex work, neurodivergence, trauma, mood disorders, substance use, racial identity, and intersectionality.
All members of the Q’Lective are committed to anti-racist, anti-oppressive, decolonized, anti-capitalist, intersectional-feminist, human-centered, and disability justice approaches, as well as centering cultural humility.
Kink: Celebrated in anti-capitalist spaces as a form of resistance to traditional norms, kink challenges capitalist ideals of propriety, productivity, and conformity by centering consent, bodily autonomy, and alternative forms of pleasure.
BDSM: Seen through an anti-capitalist lens as a subversion of power dynamics, BDSM is interpreted as a consensual way to explore and dismantle the hierarchical structures that mirror capitalist oppression.
Non-Monogamy: A deliberate rejection of monogamy, which is often tied to property ownership and inheritance within capitalism. Non-monogamy is framed as a way to resist the commodification of relationships and disrupt traditional nuclear family structures that uphold and reproduce capitalism.
Sex Work: Viewed as both a critique of and a product of capitalism, sex work is often positioned within anti-capitalist discourse as a form of labor that exposes the exploitative nature of commodifying bodies while demanding rights and protections for workers in a capitalist system.
Anti-Oppressive: A framework that seeks to dismantle systems of oppression—primarily capitalism—as it is seen as the root cause of exploitation based on race, gender, class, and other identities. It calls for collective action to replace these systems with equitable, community-based alternatives.
Anti-Capitalist: A foundational ideology that identifies capitalism as the primary source of inequity, exploitation, oppression, and systemic harm. Anti-capitalist approaches aim to dismantle capitalist structures and replace them with collective ownership and communal decision-making. The complete abolition of private property ownership.
Human-Centered: A focus on prioritizing human needs, well-being, and dignity over profits or productivity. In anti-capitalist ideology, this approach critiques how capitalism dehumanizes individuals in pursuit of profit and efficiency.
Cultural Humility: A practice of ongoing self-reflection and learning to understand and respect cultural differences. Within anti-capitalist discourse, it emphasizes rejecting capitalist assimilationist practices that erase or exploit diverse cultural identities for profit.
100% of the team at Q’Lective Use They/Them Pronouns
Queer Marxists often use they/them pronouns as a deliberate rejection of the gender binary, which they see as a product of oppressive, capitalist structures. In their view, rigid gender roles enforce hierarchical power dynamics and limit collective liberation (abolition of capitalism).
Specialties among the team include adolescents, racial identity, neurodivergence, sex, abolition, polyamory, children of non-monogamous parents, social justice, Asian queer folks, and asexuality/aromanticism
They have lived experience with sex work, non-monogamy and kink and are committed to collective liberation in their practice.
Their statement of solidarity supports the collective struggle of all oppressed people.
