Time to learn to talk to women, you losers.
If you're posting on this board and hate women, it's time to leave. The USSR celebrated womanhood, and so did every decent socialist organization. Women will always be an integral part of socialism: they are humans.
Isn't Buzzfeednews actually considered to be pretty good?
while i'm not against this, you are making an appeal to authority. all the celebration of womanhood in USSR ended up being for naught after gorbachev et al. allowed the union to disintegrate, the people allowed western liberalism and capitalism to take over and the entire Eastern Bloc became a hellhole full of desperate prostitutes
Pretty much this, although I’d argue that we can’t even tell to how far the extent of capitalism(and past modes of production) have highlighted and exaggerated sexual difference, so in Communism abolition of them completely shouldn’t be some pipe dream or wish. It should be an eventual goal.
1. I'm a man
2. My post points out what I believe to be one of many reasons why socialism is not as popular among women as men. Nowhere in my post did I say that this was the right thing, or that women shouldn't be socialist.
I said white men have to either blame capitalism or an outside group like women or minorities for their hardships. Uneducated men are more likely to take the reactionary blaming the other route.
Imagine being this anglocentric that you think an internet site in the GLOBAL LINGUA FRANCA only has native anglophones on it.
bye bye sheboons
I could go through the pains to make a detailed argument, but it would go to waste in a thread that believes women aren't essential to socialism.
When we look at "What is socialism", we can look at theory and practice. Nearly all socialist theorists are pro-women. In practice, nearly all socialist organizations celebrate women and are pro-women.
I don't think you'd say refering to theory is an appeal to authority, but just in case:
1. Woman happen to be humans (shocker)
2. Humans have the ability to do work to further the cause: physical labor, military force, voting, and outreach to other humans.
3. For socialism to win, humans need to put energy in one or all of those areas mentioned before.
4. The more humans, the easier the work is done.
5. Therefore women should be welcomed as socialists and outreach to them is valuable.
Sometimes people might say something short like I did, without listing off their logical reasoning. They may not have reasoning behind it, which makes it a good time to challenge. But sometimes a question has been answered so many times a person would rather make a short post that a spergy 1000 word one.
If I mischaracterized you, sorry. If you're new, keep reading and asking questions. Just going blah appeal to authority can be bad for dialog and your own growth.
This isn't necessarily to you, but to former Zig Forums posters and people false flagging.
Hi pol. Please read a book. Any, please read before you post. Read any socialist theory or history, there's a big thread on top.
You sure can boyoo, but your prejudice actively hurts the progression of socialism because you can't get over Stacey from 6th grade.

“Not a single great movement of the oppressed in the history of mankind has been able to do without the participation of working women.
Working women, the most oppressed among the oppressed, never have or could stand aside from the broad path of the liberation movement. This movement of slaves has produced, as is known, hundreds and thousands of martyrs and heroines. Tens of thousands of working women were to be found in the ranks of fighters for the liberation of the serfs. It is not surprising that millions of working women have been drawn in beneath the banners of the revolutionary movement of the working class, the most powerful of all liberation movements of the oppressed masses.
International Women’s Day is a token of invincibility and an augury of the great future which lies before the liberation movement of the working class.
Working women – workers and peasants – are the greatest reserve of the working class. This reserve constitutes a good half of the population. The fate of the proletarian movement, the victory or defeat of the proletarian revolution, the victory or defeat of proletarian power depends on whether or not the reserve of women will be for or against the working class.
That is why the first task of the proletariat and its advanced detachment, the communist party, is to engage in decisive struggle for the freeing of women workers and peasants from the influence of the bourgeoisie, for political education and the organisation of women workers and peasants beneath the banner of the proletariat.
International Women’s Day is a means of winning the women’s labour reserves to the side of the proletariat. Working women are not only reserves, however. They can and must become – if the working class carries out a correct policy – a real army of the working class, operating against the bourgeoisie.
The second and decisive task of the working class is to forge an army of worker and peasant women out of the women’s labour reserves to operate shoulder to shoulder with the great army of the proletariat.
International Woman’s Day must become a means for turning worker and peasant women from a reserve of the working class into an active army in the liberation movement of the proletariat.”
– J.V. Stalin, “1925 International Women’s Day Address
