Assemblyman v. d. Osten said, that the uniform system of education leads towards differentiation. But the truth is that capitalism makes the great mass of the people uniform in the most brutal way and differentiates the people only in classes, and makes impossible the real differentiation among the classes of the people and through the whole people.

The Future Belongs to the People

Trump is a deranged criminal, a psychopath who dreams of selling Gaza’s ruins to the highest bidder. This is capitalism: where mass murderers become presidents, and genocide becomes a real estate deal. Smash imperialism, crush apartheid!

Women’s dependence on men today stems from men keeping women, whether wife, lover, or daughter. When that ceases, women will be free from men. Thus, we see that a woman has a double interest in the success of the workers’ cause – as a worker and as a woman. The words 'Proletarians of the World, Unite!' cannot but meet with a response in a woman’s heart. She cannot but join the ranks of the fighters for a socialist system, for a better future.

The Woman Worker (1899)

That is why it is right for us to put forward demands favourable to women. That is not a minimum, a reform programme in the sense of the Social Democrats, of the Second International. It is not a recognition that we believe in the eternal character, or even in the long duration of the rule of the bourgeoisie and their state. It is not an attempt to appease women by reforms and to divert them from the path of revolutionary struggle. It is not that nor any other reformist swindle. Our demands are practical conclusions which we have drawn from the burning needs, the shameful humiliation of women, in bourgeois society, defenceless and without rights. We demonstrate thereby that we recognise these needs, and are sensible of the humiliation of the woman, the privileges of the man. That we hate, yes, hate everything, and will abolish everything which tortures and oppresses the woman worker, the housewife, the peasant woman, the wife of the petty trader, yes, and in many cases the women of the possessing classes. The rights and social regulations which we demand for women from bourgeois society show that we understand the position and interests of women, and will have consideration for them under the proletarian dictatorship. Not of course, as the reformists do, lulling them to inaction and keeping them in leading strings. No, of course not; but as revolutionaries who call upon the women to work as equals in transforming the old economy and ideology.
