Not in China.

2018-03-09 17:52:56 UTC  

Not in Japan.

2018-03-09 17:52:59 UTC  

And Marxist feminism exists there?

2018-03-09 17:53:07 UTC  

Yes.

2018-03-09 17:53:39 UTC  

How so?

2018-03-09 17:53:59 UTC  

How Marxism exist in China?

2018-03-09 17:54:07 UTC  

Marxist feminism

2018-03-09 17:54:10 UTC  

Well, it is a very long story

2018-03-09 17:54:34 UTC  

It starts with adoption of Marxism-Leninism from USSR

2018-03-09 17:54:41 UTC  

And revolution

2018-03-09 17:54:45 UTC  

Because in India even the Communist Party's feminism is not much different from liberal feminism

2018-03-09 17:54:52 UTC  

Very weak theory

2018-03-09 17:55:01 UTC  

I'm talking about feminism in particular

2018-03-09 17:55:12 UTC  

Me too

2018-03-09 17:56:02 UTC  

In India Marxists teach women to bear arms.

2018-03-09 17:56:17 UTC  

Not all Marxists are maoists

2018-03-09 17:56:27 UTC  

Most in India are

2018-03-09 17:56:36 UTC  

Not really

2018-03-09 17:56:55 UTC  

The legal communist parties

2018-03-09 17:57:02 UTC  

The legal trade unions

2018-03-09 17:57:05 UTC  

Aren't

2018-03-09 17:57:05 UTC  

I'm not counting them

2018-03-09 17:57:22 UTC  

As Marxist

2018-03-09 17:58:03 UTC  

Limitation to legal work is anti-Marxist

2018-03-09 17:58:28 UTC  

In that sense Marxism is dead in China too

2018-03-09 17:58:53 UTC  

Revisionism abounds

2018-03-09 17:59:09 UTC  

Dead is a strong word. I miself met a lot of Marxist in China when visiting.

2018-03-09 17:59:23 UTC  

Maybe there is more Marxists than anywhere in the world

2018-03-09 17:59:49 UTC  

But it is true majority of the party is against it already

2018-03-09 18:00:19 UTC  

But majority of a billion people doesn't mean a quarter billion is absent.

2018-03-09 18:00:31 UTC  

When you say Marxist I usually assume just a belief in his sociology and histiography

2018-03-09 18:00:40 UTC  

Which even a Capitalist can agree with

2018-03-09 18:01:43 UTC  

Capitalist will not agree with a word of Truth if it is not profitable to them. And Truth is not.

2018-03-09 18:02:10 UTC  

Why can't a Capitalist be a materialist

2018-03-09 18:02:15 UTC  

Use the dialectical method

2018-03-09 18:03:14 UTC  

He can. He also will use materialism to fight for his interests. Which means he will fight as materialist against any proletarian interests. Against Marxism.

2018-03-09 18:03:17 UTC  

Marx's contribution to sociology is immense

2018-03-09 18:03:44 UTC  

What is science to a drug dealer and an arm seller?

2018-03-09 18:03:53 UTC  

Just another way to profit.

2018-03-09 18:03:55 UTC  

A tool

2018-03-09 18:04:13 UTC  

Even Marxism Leninism is a tool
