§Stop having "celebrations": Organize politically

by de cleyre

Celebrating, marching, partying reveal a middle-class led movement.

BUT WOMEN ARE DYING BY THE MILLIONS all over the world! We have the numbers and the economic power (women are the main consumers of corporate goods) to bury capitalism. Yet, no serious attempt has been made by the women of the world to organize effective political parties which would dismantle the patriarchal hold of society.

We got the vote thanks to the Suffragettes who ended up organizing a Women's Party of England -disbanded because of the First W.War. After the war, the men made sure that they would not reorganize so effectively again. They won!
