Cuidarse, cuidarnos

"I had this idea that to write a love poem and give it to the one you desired was the most radical resistance. But now I see I was wrong. The most anticapitalist protest is to care for an other. To take on historically feminized, and therefore invisible, practice of nursing, nurturing, caring. To take seriously each other’s vulnerability and fragility and precarity, and to support it, honor it, empower it. To protect each other. A radical kinship."

Tenía esta idea de que escribir un poema de amor y dárselo a quien deseabas era el acto de resistencia más radical. Pero ahora veo que me equivocaba. La protesta más anticapitalista es cuidar un otro. Tomar la históricamente feminizada, y por lo tanto invisible, práctica de atender, nutrir y cuidar. Tomar en serio la vulnerabilidad, fragilidad y precariedad de cada unx y apoyarla, honrarla y potenciarla. Protegernos unxs a otrxs. Una hermandad radical.
