The current radfem movement is not taking its cues from the radfem movement of the 60s/70s. What I see these days is that girls come into radfem due to their own trauma at the hands of liberal misogynist culture, but they don& #39;t develop their analysis beyond that 1/X
So they will say porn is misogynist and prostitution is also misogynist but they won& #39;t connect porn or prostitution to the structure of capitalism or imperialism, how the latter 2 contribute to the existence of the former 2. This leaves the analysis incomplete. 2/X
When you have incomplete analysis you have an incomplete picture of what the problem of women& #39;s oppression is, and as a result you can& #39;t launch a successful struggle in the name of women& #39;s rights. So more reading must be done about capitalism & its role in female oppression 3/
The other problem I see within radfem circles these days is the lack of appreciation of the gains in women& #39;s rights socialist revolutions have brought across the world, and falling into the trap of believing propaganda about such revolutions and states. 4/X
And this is a problem bc rad feminism did not emerge from the right. It emerged from the radical left, and the capitalist ruling class& #39;s propaganda only serves to condition rad feminists into not seeing the victories of socialism for women. They want you hate socialism 5/X
