Appreciating Contemporary Social Organizing Theory and Learning from Women Organizing Under Socialism

Contemporary social organizing theory highlights the effectiveness of having people both inside and outside the state pushing for change. Learning from women organizing under socialism in Eastern Europe reinforces the importance of this approach. It challenges the narrow definition of freedom under capitalism and explores the freedom experienced in socialist societies. The concept of socializing domestic work through programs like cafeterias and childcare cooperatives is intriguing, and I wonder how these programs are implemented in practice.
