Re Capitulating. queer

What it is all about? "To recapitulate means to repeat something in a structured way […]. A recapitulation ]…] concerns […] historical and political events, including predicted and planned futures - again, as if what is recapitulated in this way has always been and been in this order.

To capitulate means to admit defeat in various forms of war, in general, to submit one's will to that of the opponent in a conflict. Submission also to the interpretation of the conflict on the part of the victorious opponent goes hand in hand with capitulation, and that also means: with the opponent's recapitulation of the conflict.

At present […] before or during the outbreak of large-scale military conflicts on a global scale, irreconcilable recapitulations of history have been positioned, also in various narratives in and on capitalism. In and on queer movements and processes.

Which statements, procedures and tactics can be identified or invented historically and currently on the part of a 'queer' against the capitalist world order? Which assertions, explanations and practices of capitalist ideology need to be analyzed in relation to queer movements between identity and non-identity?

Again, and asked differently: How do 'queer' and capitalism intersect or connect? 

What could that mean: "queering capitalism"? […] How do queer and capitalism recapitulate (each other)? Has there been, is there or will there be capitulation(s)? What is to be traced or outlined here in a new recapitulation?"
