Xenofeminism is a critically updated, queer and gender abolitionist response to accelerationism&rsquo;s political and economic theory, laid out in the manifesto of collective Laboria Cuboniks, <em><a href="http://www.laboriacuboniks.net/" target="_blank">The Xenofeminist Manifesto: A Politics for Alienation</a>.</em></p>
