The radical left has apparently discovered its latest form of “fascism”: Americans using medication to lose weight and improve their health.
During the four-day Socialism 2026 conference in Chicago, self-described Black, fat, queer anarcho-communist activist Da’Shaun L. Harrison launched a bizarre attack on popular GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic, claiming the drugs represent a new phase of so-called “body fascism” while delivering the remarks in a face mask.
Harrison made the remarks during a September 5 panel titled “Health Fascism, Body Politics, and the Anti-State State.”
Harrison: “The political deployment of GLP-1s is fascistic, not because individuals take them, but because the conditions under which they become necessary are shaped by a world fixated on genociding fat people.
A shot that helps diabetics, heart patients, and obese Americans lose dangerous weight is, in this worldview, a tool of genocide.
Harrison did not stop there. The author of Belly of the Beast: The Politics of Anti-Fatness as Anti-Blackness, a self-described Afropessimist, anarcho-communist, and trans theorist who uses they/them pronouns, tied the entire obesity debate to race, slavery, and “colonial surveillance.”
“This is a structural critique that asks what happens when the conditions produced by capitalism, by public health, by the state apparatus, and by anti-black desire align around a single bodily ideal that leaves little to no room for divergence and punishes any body that does.”
And then the academic name-drop:
“But to understand why the deployment of GLP-1s is fascistic requires turning to Frantz Fanon’s account of black flesh under colonial surveillance.”
BMI charts. Diet culture. Doctors telling patients they are overweight. All of it, according to Harrison, is “body fascism” built on the policing of “Black fat flesh.”
“Without a population to discipline, there would be no BMI, no obesity epidemic, and no medical or scientific institutions organized around managing fatness.”
The footage was shared on X by Stu Smith:
The Gateway Pundit previously reported on the same socialist conference, where panelists claimed that fitness itself could be a tool of fascism.
During that discussion, Beatrice Adler-Bolton argued that leftists must abandon the “fantasy of being fitter than the fascists” and reportedly declared, “The more dysgenic, the better.”
This is what passes for intellectual thought on the socialist Left: doctors treating chronic disease are fascists, personal restraint is oppression, and losing weight is supposedly evidence of genocide.
Meanwhile, GLP-1 receptor agonists are legitimate medications used to manage Type 2 diabetes and obesity. They work partly by regulating blood sugar, slowing digestion, and increasing feelings of fullness, according to the Cleveland Clinic.
