From Flirting with a stupid boy to communism

On 19/1/2019, at the spoken word/poetry slam by Queer Ink "The META Poetry", Space Manifesto read a message she received from a boy she flirted with. It was a message making fun of her because she is a communist and Space, made commentary on this, read her answer, and then spoke about her communism: Fully Automated Luxury Queer Space Communism. At this spoken word, Space spoke about her feelings on how being a communist is perceived by other people and, also, she referred to examples of social oppression and activist acts in order to explain better why she supports this kind of communism. 

Space wore a dress she made of burlap, a material which is commonly used at protests and marches. The dress was silver for Space, purple for feminism, red and yellow for communism and it had some painted hammerheads on it, too.

You can watch the performance on Youtube.
