To support the show and help make episodes like this one possible, become a patron at https://www.patreon.com/deathpanelpod This is the first recording in a series of sessions we organized at this year's Socialism Conference. We're posting it ahead of our usual schedule as clips from this session have started circulating online and kicking off a round of discourse on health, health fascism and "fitness," and we wanted to make sure everyone has access to the full remarks. Full session description: As governments retreat from care, and health increasingly becomes a signifier of discipline—rather than provision—fitness, disability, fatness, illness, Blackness, impairment, and bodily capacity are mobilized into measures of moral worth and political belonging. This panel examines how health, disability, body size, and race are instrumentalized by the state and being reorganized under health fascism. Da’Shaun L. Harrison and Beatrice Adler-Bolton will discuss what these transformations reveal about the changing relationship between capitalism, the state, and everyday life. Speakers: Beatrice, Da'Shaun L.

For further discussion of fascism and the anti-state state we recommend this week's patron episode with Alberto Toscano, which was directly spurred on by this episode with Ruthie and Craig.
