Socialism, a Queer Eye Makeover for the Masses
Queer Eye is a preview of the world to come. Under socialism, with more free time and shared prosperity, people will walk with their heads held higher — not by the ones and twos, but by the millions.

The 2018 reboot of Queer Eye features Bobby Berk, Karamo Brown, Jonathan Van Ness, Antoni Porowski, and Tan France as the Fab Five. (Netflix)
In the first season of the Queer Eye reboot, we meet Bobby Camp. Bobby is a forty-eight-year-old father of six. His wife, Vera, is a preschool teacher. Bobby works as a drafter at an engineering firm from nine to five. After the kids go to bed, he heads to a home improvement store, where he stocks shelves. He goes to sleep at four o’clock in the morning, and wakes up again at six.
“I nominated Bobby because he never takes time for himself,” says Vera. “Sometimes he just throws on clothes, and I think, those have holes in them and they’re stained, and your hair is stringy and greasy, and you look terrible.” She adds, “I just wanted something nice for him.”
The family’s home is “pure chaos,” says Vera. There are sippy cups and toys scattered everywhere, and the sink is filled to the brim with dishes. The kids each share rooms, and Bobby and Vera share the smallest room in the house. There is one bathroom for eight people. The couple are loving parents and devoted to each other — they just don’t have the time or money to effectively manage their household.
