Thanks! Yes this fits with my understanding. Still I'm wondering if there are any cases of something like reclamation in that period that I've missed.

To be clear I do not mean people just confessing at their trials (which I know happened a fair bit) but rather identifying in a more positive way with the concept (I guess regardless of whether they were actually prosecuted).

And to be clear this is something to be doing right now, not once Musk funded fascists win their elections where you are. By then it's likely too late. Anything not directed towards collective and intercommunal power is either obsolete or fascism in development.

I once explained the varieties of snakebite (drink) to Christopher Hill (he did ask) over whisky late one evening in the master’s lodgings of Mansfield College Oxford. Think he was 82 at the time. (I was younger.)

@drrobertchapman.bsky.social writes about this history in their recent book "Empire of Normality"-- incl how the hyper-medicalization of "normal"/ "sane" = "good professional worker"--was driven largely by rapidly globalizing models of large-scale extractive capitalism
It's a great read!
