The Socialism 2026 conference has been incredible.
I honestly don't know how anyone could discredit the far left more than what they've done to themselves just by speaking in public.
🚨 At Socialism 2026’s “Liberatory Spirit, the Spirit of Liberation” panel, Rev. Jinzu Minna Jain warns that even left-wing spaces can accidentally reproduce “health fascism” through the language of healing.
She says organizers need to be careful about what “healing” means, because sometimes people are not looking to “get better” or “move past” trauma at all.
Instead, she argues, what people may need is collective support while “sitting with the cracks,” “sitting with the bones,” and “sitting in the horror together.”
I’m not especially sold on the whole “Woke 1.0 vs. Woke 2.0” framework, but if even “healing” can now be ideologically objectionable, then we have entered some truly rarefied territory.
