Leftist Anthropology

A leftist approach to anthropology—studying human diversity with attention to power, inequality, and resistance, and with commitment to human liberation. Leftist Anthropology asks: How do economic systems shape cultures? How do people resist domination? What can we learn from societies that organize differently? How can anthropology serve struggles for justice rather than colonialism or exploitation? Drawing on Marxist, feminist, and anti-colonial traditions, Leftist Anthropology studies humans with solidarity, not just curiosity.

"They studied a society and called them 'primitive.' Leftist Anthropology asks: primitive by whose standards? What about their economy, their resistance, their wisdom? Anthropology can exoticize or it can learn. Leftist anthropology learns—from everyone, especially those fighting domination. Not just studying others, but standing with them."

Queer Leftist

A self-defining term typically used by those who do not identify as straight and share political beliefs on the left-side of the spectrum.

These individuals usually use being a queer leftist as their individual defining trait, and weaponize it to deflect any responsibility of mental health and social normality. Most that use this term to define themselves have of the following:
- Have at least one mental illness.

- Live in a liberal urban center and/or attend university.

- Listen to alternative punk and indie.
- Self-medicate with marijuana.

- Are overweight.

I matched with a woman on Tinder who described herself as a queer leftist. She thought that being un-medicated and listening to garage bands is a character trait.
