From a Marxist Feminist Point of View: Essays on Freedom, Rationality and Human Nature
This book shows the fruitfulness of approaching key philosophical and political questions from a Marxist-feminist point of view. The idea is that different modes of production like capitalism and feudalism have structures -- 'relations of production' -- which shape and limit the potentials for human emancipation in general and women's freedom in particular. Capitalism is then understood as a framework within which other relations of oppression op…
Rationality and Revolution
O Socialismo Como Auto-Emancipação
No seu "Prefácio" de 1872 ao Manifesto comunista, 25 anos após sua primeira edição, Engles declarou que seus princípios gerais permanecem tão corretos como antes
The Dialectic of the Individual and the Collective: An Ecological Imperative
Instead of understanding property and rationality individualistically as in capitalism, the ecological crisis makes it imperative that we change the priority to the social/collective point of view. Public goods/commonstock should be the default, and private property should have to be justified. Rationality should be understood not primarily from an individual perspective, but from a social/collective point of view. This does not entail the sacrif…

The Socialist Feminist Project: A Contemporary Reader in Theory and Politics
Socialist feminist theorizing is flourishing today. This collection is intended to shows its strengths and resources and convey a sense of it as an ongoing project. Not every contribution to that project bears the same theoretical label, but the writings collected here share a broad aim of understanding women's subordination in a way which integrates class and gender-as well as aspects of women's identity such as race, ethnicity, and sexual orien…
Capitalism, For and Against: A Feminist Debate
Political philosophy and feminist theory have rarely examined in detail how capitalism affects the lives of women. Ann Cudd and Nancy Holmstrom take up opposing sides of the issue, debating whether capitalism is valuable as an ideal and whether as an actually existing economic system it is good for women. In a discussion covering a broad range of social and economic issues, including unequal pay, industrial reforms and sweatshops, they examine ho…
The Socialist Feminist Project
Some would say socialist feminism is an artifact of the 1970s. It flowered with the women's liberation movement, as a theoretical response to what many in the movement saw as the inadequacies of Marxism, liberalism, and radical feminism, but since then it has been defunct, both theoretically and politically. I think this view is mistaken.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full…
The Necessity of Gangster Capitalism: Primitive Accumulation in Russia and China
The Russian bank laundering scandal in the newspapers last fall is only the latest installment in the ongoing saga of corruption coming out of the former Soviet Union. The more important question is: where did they get the money in the first place? How, for example, did the former Premier of the Ukraine manage to buy a seven million dollar mansion in Marin County, California, on his official salary of a few thousand dollars a year? The answer is …

Democratic Individuality
Le féminisme et la gauche aux États-Unis
Le féminisme a eu un impact fondamental sur la gauche américaine. L'idée que les femmes doivent être parties prenantes de la direction politique des organisations à tous les niveaux, que les questions féminines doivent s'intégrer à tout programme, et que toute coalition doit comprendre des organisations féministes, est largement acceptée. Mais si on trouve bien le reflet des modes d'organisation féministe dans l'aile gauche des mouvements écologi…
A Marxist Theory of Women's Nature
Women's Self Organization: Theory and Strategy; Lise Vogel Responds
Socialist feminists confront the key strategic issue of the relationship between the women's liberation struggle and the struggle for socialist transformation in the course of facing practical questions, such as whether to build women's organizations separate from socialist organizations, whether to work in multi-class feminist organizations, and so forth.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are…
Women's Work,” the Family and Capitalism
Exploitation
According to Marx one of the primary evils of capitalism (and any other class society) is that it is exploitative-and necessarily so. Socialist and communist societies will (necessarily) not be exploitative and this is one of the reasons why they will in some sense be better. To understand such claims we have to determine exactly what Marx means by “exploitation” and what it is about exploitation that Marx finds to be bad. Neither of these questi…
