Communism and the Family
Women’s role in production: its effect upon the family
Will the family continue to exist under communism? Will the family remain in the same form? These questions are troubling many women of the working class and worrying their menfolk as well. Life is changing before our very eyes; old habits and customs are dying out, and the whole life of the proletarian family is developing in a way that is new and unfamiliar and, in the eyes of some, “bizarre”. No wonder that working women are beginning to think these questions over. Another fact that invites attention is that divorce has been made easier in Soviet Russia. The decree of the Council of People’s Commissars issued on 18 December 1917 means that divorce is, no longer a luxury that only the rich can afford; henceforth, a working woman will not have to petition for months or even for years to secure the right to live separately from a husband who beats her and makes her life a misery with his drunkenness and uncouth behaviour. Divorce by mutual agreement now takes no more than a week or two to obtain. Women who are unhappy in their married life welcome this easy divorce. But others, particularly those who are used to looking upon their husband as “breadwinners”, are frightened. They have not yet understood that a woman must accustom herself to seek and find support in the collective and in society, and not from the individual man.

Communist Party statement on prostitution
“…for the rest it is self-evident that the abolition of the present system of production must bring with it the abolition of the community of women springing from the system i.e. of prostitution both public and private!”
(Marx & Engels, The Manifesto of the Communist Party, 1848)
Equal Rights to Commit War Crimes
Under a canopy of darkness, the roar of bullets punctures the silence of the night along Israel’s borders. The Caracal Battalion, a mixed-gender combat unit of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF), is engaged in an intense firefight. At the helm of this tumult is Lt.-Col. Or Ben-Yehuda, leading her troops against the relentless onslaught of Hamas terrorists. This night, they emerged victorious, reportedly eliminating nearly 100 militants, thus defying any lingering doubts regarding the capabilities of female combat soldiers.

The “Mock Revolution” at Mosinee: On The Racism of Anti-Communism in the US
For most of the last one hundred and fifty years, anti-communism has been a defining aspect of American political culture, both domestic and foreign. As historian Nick Fischer has argued, after the Civil War, anti-communism was deployed to suppress an unruly underclass of people, including the working poor, women, and Black Americans, and prevent any real attention on their working and living conditions. This anti-communism was deployed by an “elitist” class who sought to divide working people among themselves, and prescribe acceptable behaviors, including patriarchal heteronormative familial relationships. When those same people made demands for equal treatment, or even just decent treatment, the epithet “communist” or “socialist” has been deployed to delegitimize their claims to rights.

Both articles, linked above, are worth glancing over. Interestingly, the Kofi Annan Foundation gets funds from UNDEF. Both were founded by Kofi Annan. Nothing corrupt about that, huh?! /s
