She thinks, for example, that prisons should be abolished. So should the police, because of their “complicity with white supremacy”. She objects to a “binary prison system based on genitalia” and thinks that “the neat binary” of male/female is, in any case, “a western way of thinking about gender variance”. She wants the complete decriminalisation of sex work. She is less enthusiastic about trans people working in the army because she finds it “difficult to accept that service in the military of a western power is inherently honourable”. Oh, and she wants to abolish capitalism. “There can,” she says, “be no trans liberation under capitalism.
If that's an accurate portrayal of Faye's book, then sigh...

At the heart of communist and communistic thought is faith in a kind of historical trajectory toward utopia that's driven by social alchemy. There are many reasons why this fails in practice, but the simplest thing to say is that communism fails because communism doesn't know how communism will succeed. The fundamental belief driving communists is that once enough people become true believers that the communist utopia lies on the other side of certain social changes, a perfect society will manifest. How? Because they will. The details aren't meant to be known or told; they're meant to be figured out.
