Understand “Feminism” Before Fighting It

This is true. If you understand that feminists process issues through something like a Marxist class struggle regime, it is easier to see their rationale for parceling out rights and responsibilities based on class membership rather than (the correct philosophically lberal approach) the idea that people have various rights and responsibilities simply because they are human beings. The typical feminist SJW statements that "it is impossible to be sexist against men" and "it is impossible to be racist against white people" are also a product of that approach. Humanity itself is written out of the analysis - all that matters is class membership.

YouTube: "Katie Pavlich: How Feminism is Linked to Marxism" -- Its not possible to successfully oppose a corrupt regime unless one studies it carefully. Ostrichism is suicide.

I don't want to praise capitalism too much, but it's had a far more net-positive impact on the world than every major attempt at absolute socialism (which is a noble cause, but unrealistic because human nature gets in the way), so I don't know how realistic moving towards Marxism is, even in the pursuit of women's equality. People are dicks, and collapsing a relatively functional system for the sake of a system we know doesn't work, even if it does have noble aspirations, seems irresponsible.

The end story about The Life of Julia is where the true colors come out. She conflates being taken care of with weakness, rather than a luxury. Obviously there's a balance, but it doesn't do any good in the argument that feminism isn't about being a professional victim, and the mental gymnastics it takes to always frame one's self as the victim.

This is manipulative fearmongering.

The democrats and liberal feminists are capitalist.

Gloria Steinhams job with the cia was counter marxism.

It was used to discredit marxism and anti-war, and anti imperialist activism.

Nope. The end lost me trying to frame anti-abortion policies as women's rights.

Here is an article from the same foundation that helped kick off the free market dictatorship in chile that is also credited with creating gender, race studies and the modern feminist movement.

Let us bridge the philosophies of Smith, and Carnegie, and King, and break the scourge of inequality. For when we do, to paraphrase another of Dr. King’s most powerful insights, we at last will bend the demand curve toward justice.

wow i listened to about 10 seconds of that and turned it off.

1) If you sit down with feminists and a copy of The Communist Manifesto and start asking them do they support policy X, Y, or Zed, they will almost immediately announce the book is white male garbage.

2) Under the definition this women has jut given, Fuedalism was Communism because it involved the transfer of wealth by government force...as are contracts and copyrights.

This person has no clue what they are talking about and is trying to beat the conservative talking horse for Mucho Denaro.
