Feminism Was Created by US Communist
Party
"Rape is an expression of ...
male supremacy ... the age-old economic, political and cultural exploitation of
women by men."
For newbies, I am reposting
this 2003 review of Kate Wiegand's Red Feminism: Communism and the Making of
Women's Liberation. The book is a reminder that the transformation of
society in our lifetime was literally Communist-inspired. Communism, in turn,
was a creation of the Masonic Jewish world banking cartel that controls all
other corporate cartels and seeks to impose its tyranny on mankind.
There is nothing that feminists said
or did in the 1960's-1980's that wasn't prefigured in the Communist Party of
the USA (CPUSA) of the 1940's and 1950's. While the CPUSA took their orders
from Moscow, Feminism was repressed in the USSR. The Soviets understood its
subversive character.
Does this sound like a modern radical feminist? Guess again. It is from a American Communist Party pamphlet from 1948 entitled "Woman Against Myth"by Mary Inman.
In a 2002 book, Red Feminism:
American Communism and the Making of Women's Liberation, feminist historian
Kate Weigand states: "ideas, activists and traditions that emanated from
the Communist movement of the forties and fifties continued to shape the
direction of the new women's movement of the 1960s and later."(154)
In fact, Weigand, a lecturer at
Smith College, shows that modern feminism is a direct outgrowth of American
Communism. There is nothing that feminists said or did in the 1960's-1980's
that wasn't prefigured in the CPUSA of the 1940's and 1950's. Many second-wave
feminist leaders were "red diaper babies," the children of Communist
Jews.
Communists pioneered the political
and cultural analysis of woman's oppression. They originated "women's
studies," and advocated public daycare, birth control, abortion and even
children's rights. They forged key feminist concepts such as "the personal
is the political" and techniques such as "consciousness
raising."
In the late 1940's, CPUSA leaders
realized that the labor movement was becoming increasingly hostile to
Communism. They began to focus on women and African Americans. They hoped
"male supremacy" would "bring more women into the organization
and into the fight against the domestic policies of the Cold War." (80)
Communist women who made up 40% of
the party wanted more freedom to attend party meetings. After the publication
of "Women Against Myth" in 1948, the CPUSA initiated a process
of "re-educating" men that we recognize only too well today.
For example, in the party newspaper "The
Daily Worker" a photo caption of a man with a young child read,
"Families are stronger and happier if the father knows how to fix the
cereal, tie the bibs and take care of the youngsters." (127)
The Party ordered men who didn't
take the woman question seriously to complete "control tasks involving
study on the woman question." In 1954 the Los Angeles branch disciplined
men for "hogging discussion at club meetings, bypassing women comrades in
leadership and making sex jokes degrading to women." (94)
A film Salt of the Earth,
which critic Pauline Kael called "Communist propaganda", portrayed
women taking a decisive role in their husbands' labor strike. "Against her
husband's wishes, Esperanza became a leader in the strike and for the first
time forged a role for herself outside of her household... [her] political
successes persuaded Ramon to accept a new model of family life." (132)
Portrayals of strong assertive successful women became as common in the Communist
press and schools, as they are in the mass media today.
Communist women formalized a sophisticated Marxist analysis of the "woman question." The books In Women's Defense (1940) by Mary Inman, Century of Struggle (1954) by Eleanor Flexner and The Unfinished Revolution (1962) by Eve Merriam recorded women's oppression and decried sexism in mass culture and language. For example, Mary Inman argued that "manufactured femininity" and "overemphasis on beauty" keeps women in subjection (33).

The founder of modern feminism, Betty
Frieden, left, relied on these texts when she wrote The Feminine
Mystique (1963). These women all hid the fact that they were long-time
Communist activists. In the 1960, their daughters had everything they needed,
including the example of subterfuge, to start the Women's Liberation Movement.
THE COMMUNIST CHARACTER OF FEMINISM
Feminism's roots in Marxist
Communism explain a great deal about this curious but dangerous movement. It
explains:
- Why the " woman's movement" hates femininity and imposes a political-economic concept like "equality" on a personal, biological and mystical relationship.
- Why they want revolution ("transformation") and have a messianic vision of a gender-less utopia.
- Why they believe human nature is infinitely malleable and can be shaped by indoctrination and coercion.
- Why they engage in endless, mind-numbing theorizing, doctrinal disputes and factionalism.
- Why truth for them is a "social construct" defined by whomever has power, and appearances are more important than reality.
- Why they reject God, nature and scientific evidence in favour of their political agenda.
- Why they refuse to debate, don't believe in free speech, and suppress dissenting views.
- Why they behave like a quasi-religious cult, or like the Red Guard.
It's hard to escape the conclusion
that feminism is Communism by another name. Communism is designed to give power
to the puppets of central bankers by fostering division and conflict. Divide
and Conquer. Having failed to peddle class and race war, Communism promoted
gender conflict instead. In each case they fostered a sense of grievance in the
target group. Now the traditional feminine role "oppressed" women.
The "diversity" and
"multicultural" movements represent Communism's attempt to empower
and use other minorities, gays and "people of color," to further
undermine the majority (European, Christian) culture. Thus, the original CPUSA
trio of "race, gender and class" is very much intact but class
conflict was never a big seller.
The term "politically
correct" originated in the Russian Communist Party in the 1920's. Its
usage in America today illustrates the extent society has been subverted.
Feminist activists are mostly Communist dupes. The Communist goal is to destroy
Western Civilization and establish a veiled dictatorship called "world
government" run by the toadies of the central bankers.
We have seen this destruction in the
dismantling of the liberal arts curriculum and tradition of free speech and
inquiry at our universities. We have seen this virus spread to government,
business, the media and the military. This could only happen because the
financial elite in fact sponsors Communism.
In Communism, government is the
ultimate monopoly. It controls everything, not just wealth but also power and
thought. It is the instrument of monopoly capital (i.e. Rothschild,
Rockefeller.) Everybody from the President on down works for them.
A LOCAL EXAMPLE
"Political correctness"
has dulled and regimented our cultural life. In 2002, here in Winnipeg,
Betty Granger, a conservative school trustee referred to "the
Asian invasion" causing house price increases in Vancouver. Granger was
pilloried mercilessly in the press. People sent hate letters and dumped garbage
on her lawn.
At a meeting, the School Board
Chairman acknowledged that Granger is not a racist and Asians have
married into her family. Nonetheless, Granger was censured because, I quote,
"appearances are more important than reality." This slippage from the
mooring of objective truth is the hallmark of Communism.
The atmosphere at the meeting was
charged. Mild mannered Canadians, all champions of "tolerance,"
behaved like wild dogs eager to rip apart a trapped rabbit. Betty Granger repented
and voted in favor of her own censure.
These rituals of denunciation and
contrition, typical of Stalinist Russia or Maoist China, are becoming more
common in America. They are like show trials designed to frighten people into
conforming. We have "diversity officers" and "human rights
commissions" and "sensitivity training" to uphold feminist
shibboleths. They talk about "discrimination" but they freely
discriminate against Christians, white heterosexual men and traditional women.
They use the specter of "sexual harassment" to fetter male-female
relations and purge their opponents.
CONCLUSION
In 1980, three women in Leningrad produced ten typewritten
copies of a feminist magazine called Almanac. The KGB shut down the magazine
and deported the women to West Germany. In the USSR, feminism has largely been
for export. According to Professor Weigand, her "book provides evidence to
support the belief that at least some Communists regarded the subversion of the
gender system [in America] as an integral part of the larger fight to overturn
capitalism."
In conclusion, the feminist pursuit
of "equal rights" is a mask for an invidious Communist agenda. The
Communist MO has always been deception, infiltration and subversion using
social justice issues as a pretext. Communism can take any form that empowers
the puppets of the central bankers. The goal is the destruction of Western
civilization and creation of a new world order run by monopoly capital. This
has largely been accomplished.
Kate Weigand's Red Feminism demonstrates that we live
in a de facto Communist society, a development which
took place by subterfuge with the complicity of the Masonic central
banker-controlled Establishment.
