Identity is marketed in national capitalism as a property. It is something you can purchase, or purchase a relation to. Or it is something you already own that you can express: my masculinity, my queerness. But identity need not be simply a caption for an image of an unchangeable concrete self. It is also a theory of the future, of history.
