This is a short-form blog which aims to bring a materialist analysis to the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic—an intersection of Marxism and disability justice with a little psychoanalysis and critical review of the scientific literature too—in order to examine its wider role in furthering eugenics, imperialism, and genocide. The aim is to leverage some more well-theorised concepts from other fields (e.g. biopower / necropolitics, vulnerability / abjection, denial / disavowal / repression, medical gaze / iatrogenic harm, crip / queer theory, epidemiology) to help re-centre the increasingly invisibilised issues of disease and public health in the ultimate question of global liberation.
