Nov 22, 2022
This podcast explores the connection between anti-colonial struggle, the world proletariat, and resistance against capitalism. It examines the changing social position of women, the construction of a patriarchal order, and the significance of the witch hunts in the development of capitalism. The podcast also discusses the redefinition of productive and reproductive tasks, the role of the family in reproducing poverty and the workforce, and Marx's assumptions about procreation and population in capitalist development. It delves into the criminalization of women's control over procreation, the degradation of women's well-being, and the role of the family in women's subjugation.
