Women's oppression and the family

Marxist Voice

The oppression of women is one of the most reactionary elements of class society and Marxists have always stood on the frontlines in the fight against it. Yet one the most common prejudices against Marxism is that it views the struggle for women’s emancipation as secondary. For example, Silvia Federici, who calls herself a Marxist-feminist, criticises Marxism and says Marx’s analysis of capitalism falls short andignores the sexual division of labour in capitalist accumulation. This could not be further from the truth. In this talk, Lotta Angantyr will explain what Marxists actually have to say about women’s oppression — both in terms of women’s role in family throughout history, and what we need to do to end it once and for all. 📚 Get a copy of 'Women, Family and the Russian Revolution': https://wellredbooks.co.uk/product/women-family-and-the-russian-revolution/ ✊ Join our campaign to build a Revolutionary Communist Party: communist.red/join 📰 Subscribe to The Communist newspaper today: communist.red/subscribe 💸 Donate to our special party launch fund: communist.red/donate
