WhichPhilosophies Marxist derail thread

[whichphilosophy]

Why do you think the real motive is about the rights of women? The main thrust is they are anti-Trump/government marches which attracted drum thumping revolutionaries who took the lead on 08 March 2017, Women's rights marches and the strike included several well intended persons but the concept of women's rights is simply the sugar coating for those obsessed with Trump.

If some Marxist fools organize a Women's March (not the BIG women's march) and women march, that does not mean those women support radical Marxism, or even know that Marxists organized the march.

So the answer here is, so what? Are these Maexist trying to get women to support Marxism? Can you show anything that indicates something like that?

On the other hand, the far right, including Congressmen in office now, have been rather non-supportive in many cases of women and the problems that face because of gender. That seems in this situation to indicate the Marxist organizers of this march have the moral high ground and the GOP are the disreputable thugs. These are the slime who are attacking women's rights to birth control, fair wages and who don't seem to care much about violence against women.

I could care less about these Marxists but hate the GOP's moral and political blind spots when it comes to women.

When the right wing wakes up, supports women and starts organizing the marches, call me. In this case, I'd rather have the Marxists than the GOP right wingers.

The Marxists I mentioned are far from fools. The ones I mentioned are accomplished strategists, educators and scholars. You can check their academic credentials. Never underestimate them because with just a handful of people its front groups are shutting down free speech in universities and seems to have taken control of the Women’s march which to them is a first prize.

However the strikes and march in question (08 March 2017) was globally a success more than the last one. The previous one was more of an anti-trump rant where the pink pussycat hats appeared all over the world, but remained silent on women’s rights around the world.

The eventual goal is to recruit for Marxist or Marxist front groups and move society’s views towards its own agenda. Why would Marxists not get involved if this were not the case?

Now there are actually some good points about Marxism that we could consider:

HEALTHCARE:
If the US wants to understand how to run a cost effective Healthcare system, then it need go no further than Cuba for some advice. Even Forbes was impressed some years ago for Cuba cannot afford to run up deficits in the same way the US did under the well intentioned OBAMA CARE.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2014/12/22/cuba-cost-effective-healthcare/#f013a0a58993

Medical system lessons
One of the key differences between our health care system and that of Cuba is that the US, as many western countries, focuses on treating disease, rather than preventive medicine. This is an enormously profitable system for manufacturers of diagnostic and radiologic tests, as well as for expensive medicines. In contrast, Cuba’s health system is strongly focused on prevention, using low-tech means extraordinarily effectively. Education is a priority, and there is almost universal literacy. Health and sexual education are promoted; contraceptives are free. Universal health care is free, and everyone has a family physician and nurse.

ALSO:

The US ranks 3rd in health care expenditures, spending 17.9% of its GDP on health (2011). In contrast, Cuba only spent 10% of its GDP, putting it on par with Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Canada.

There are other valuable lessons to be learned regarding health care.

How has these affected outcomes? At what cost?

What does the US gain for its vastly greater financial investment? Not so much, it seems. Infant mortality is lower in Cuba and the under 5 year old mortality rate is quite low. Life expectancy is almost identical in the two countries. This is achieved despite huge disparities in wealth. (The only area where mortality is significantly higher in Cuba is that of maternal mortality).

END OF QUOTE.

So with respect to TRUMPCARE or OBAMACARE, I would recommend a look at CASTRO-CARE because it is cost effective and uses a lower percentage of the GDP.

INDIA


I would also pose that the only state in India which ever made any real economic progress was the state of Kerala which for years was run by a Communist administration.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kerala_model

Back in the USA I would agree that legislation to change the abortion laws would be detrimental to a woman’s right to choose within legislation that also determines foetal viability of the unborn child. There is nothing to show that the Republicans women’s rights are any less now than under the democrats. No one in any of the main parties supports violence against women, or condones such.

Hence the word sometimes.

In other words, the only reason you have to back up your contentions that revolutionary Marxists, and feminazis are the masterminds of these marches is that you cannot abide the notion that millions of women independently made up their minds to protest the lot of women at places and times of their own choosing. Wow.

The ones I mentioned were in charge of the US marches. The last march however was more global in that these did focus on international women's rights vs. the first one which did little more than advertise pink pussycat hats. The fact that women came out to strike and march was of their own choosing. No one exactly kidnapped them or forced them. There are a lot of issues. Despite that women in the US including Muslim women enjoy more rights in that country than most others. Women are also more empowered in the US than most other countries. This does not diminish real issues or concerns.

 

[whichphilosophy]

They are but revolutionary Marxism is incompatible with democracy. The peculiar political vitriol during and after the election led me to look for revolutionary communist backgrounds. Looks like the Revolutionaries have hijacked the Women's march and did so successfully. Socialists and moderate Marxists protest differently.

Given 7 out of 8 are revolutionary Marxists, I think that expresses my point. What happened to the Democrats?

Given that you're still talking about a different group than the Women's March and that millions marched that day without considering Marxism whatsoever, you are either a ridiculous joke or a form of Agitprop yourself.

And consider that 7 out of 8 Dentists approve of this message...and they also make false teeth.

This does beg the question why did I go hunting for Marxists in the first place, because this is what I did, when no one on the forum seems to have been aware?

That does appear to be what you do...you think people in the thread that you started this derail within didn't know there are active Marxists?

The dentist question doesn't fit in with the situation.

One it wasn't a 'dentist question', it was a dentist comments/satire. And it fit about as well as half your comments. This is a question: Lie down on the couch, what does that mean?

The answer is there is a lot of genuine talk of women's rights, taking into account regardless of societal imperfections, the USA is a haven for human rights for women, different ethnic groups and guarantees freedom of religion.

Yes it is in many ways. But those rights weren't won by baking pies. And there are rights and arrangement that are currently under attack. In states like Texas, access to any form of abortion is becoming very difficult. Repugs in general are working overtime to try and regulation legal abortion out of existence. Repugs and Don the Con are working to reduce access to birth control as well as to damage available health care to low income women.

Yet the whole situation was stirred up as evident in the violence in the streets and some of the vitriol. A normal socialist or human rights march would not manifest in that way. This is because when extremists get involved the vitriol increases sharply sometimes resulting in violent confrontations. That is to say stir up a genuine cause from the background.

You blather on in vague hand waving, and I have to wonder if this is not purposeful...

Sometimes also means never.

Only where...

Probably also means probably not.

I agree there are various issues affecting Women's rights but I expected to find Marxists because I used to be a Marxist and am very familiar with their strategy. The dentist scenario is misfitting the scenario here.

ROTFLMAO...Yeah, I think it fits quite fine...as you have no 'scenario' as you haven't evidenced anything regarding the January 21st 2017AD Woman's March in Washington, District of Colombia, of the United States. I keep specifically pointing out the subject, as you clearly avoid being clear when you wave your hands.

Who are the women behind the international strike?

Angela Davis: A well-known American political activist who was prominent during the US civil rights movement in the 1960s. She was also a leader of the Communist Party USA
Linda Martin Alcoff: Writer, and philosophy professor at the CUNY Graduate Centre in New York and specialist in epistemology, feminism, race theory and existentialism

As you see, the above have been confirmed by a lot of media where they are in charge of the women's strike.

Other media I quoted show they are all apart from one Marxist.

Then their own media show they are Marxists.

If any of them are not organisers, or Marxists let me know.

We can then go through the strategy used.

They are on the committee.
7 of 8 are Marxist.

If these are wrong let me know so we cannot proceed further along what is happening.

Marxists are not only getting involved as a hobby or for a bit of fun.

Sigh, here is the webpage for the US organizers - https://www.womensmarch.com/team/. There are more than 8 people, and some of your women on your list are not there.

You admitted "This does not diminish real issues or concerns." But here you are, yet again, attempting to diminish the real issues and concerns with your idiotic fear-mongering drivel.

Ok, so you found 1 honorary co-chair of the DC Womans march team that is a Marxist. At least you have tried to move beyond only hand waving trying to link the two groups/marches. Not that I live to follow these people, but I don’t see where Harry Belafonte is a ‘Marxist’. He is definitely on the very liberal side of the fence, but that is about all I see after about 10 minutes of surfing the internet.

Personally, I would not want an organization I was involved with to embrace Angela Yvonne Davis, even as a minor honorary co-chair. That is more for her past kissing up to dictatorships like the USSR and the GDR than anything else, unless she has done a mea culpa on such. However, she is only 1 person out of 20 in the main team, and 5 honorary co-chairs. Well, at least you found a wet gun…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Belafonte
Belafonte's political beliefs were greatly inspired by the singer, actor and Communist activist Paul Robeson, who mentored him. Robeson opposed not only racial prejudice in the United States, but also western colonialism in Africa. Belafonte's success did not protect him from criticism of his communist sympathies or from racial discrimination, particularly in the American South.

NB I don't see anything to suggest Belafonte ever supported violence. He is in my view non-militant.

5. NANCY FRASER MARXIST
http://nova.wpunj.edu/newpolitics/issue24/fraser24.htm

A Future for Marxism
Here is my answer in a nutshell: Marxism as the metanarrative or master discourse of oppositional politics in capitalist societies is finished. So is Marxism as a totalizing theory of the system dynamics, crisis tendencies, and conflict potentials in capitalist societies. Rather, we have witnessed the rise of a new, postmarxian field of critical theorizing. Prominent components of this field include poststructuralist theories of discourse, feminist theories, and new critical theories of race and ethnicity. To be sure, the final form of this field, including the degree to which it will remain a set of multiple overlapping discourses rather than a single more unified discourse, is not yet apparent. But one thing is clear. The only possible future for Marxism is as one contributing strand among others in this new postmarxian field. This requires a new modesty for Marxism, a willingness to open itself up to other bodies of critical thought, to reconstruct itself in the light of their insights, and generally to enter into fruitful exchanges with them.

The current generation of Critical Theorists, unlike previous generations, is led by women, such as Nancy Fraser, Seyla Benhabib and Agnes Heller

COMMENT BY KEEANGA-YAMAHTTA TAYLOR

Race, class and Marxism
No serious Marxist organization demands that Black and Latino workers put their struggles on the backburner while some mythical class struggle is waged beforehand.

I'm going to ask this again and I expect you will dodge the question again. What marxism was used to inspire these women to march?

Marxism could only be applied if it was in government. Likewise capitalism could not be used as such in a women's march and a strike. Apologies if your questions were not answered earlier.

I think you would be talking about operational strategies of Marxist groups. That is to say how a small group (CPA USA with just 2,000 or so members) can spread its message over to a larger audience. Would this be correct, just so I understand the answer? In asking this are you aware how particularly revolutionary groups will operate, despite a small core base?

Marxism could only be applied if it was in government....

FFS, Ziprhead was clearing asking what Marxist ideas were used to inspire these women to march? Instead of trotting histories of 8 honorary co-chairs (honorary usually means they have nothing to do with the actual planning or logistics of the march) and ignoring the people who actually organized the march and strikes, and posting irrelevant drivel, how about actually responding to the actual content of a question with an answer that is actually related to the content of the question? Just for a change, try it.

Is there a problem in shining a light on the nature of the ultra-left wing extremists, background, past and present activities of those agitating and propagating as part of the organisation behind the strikes and marches? Should we be politically correct and not mention them?



To clarify the point on honorary chair. This does not exclude participation involvement and AGITPROP.

Angela Davis (and not the others) are mentioned in the original Women's March website. Davis was very active in the events in February and in those leading upto and including the Women's Strike and March.

The other 7 are not mentioned in the women's march in February 2017 but were mentioned as organisers in the mainstream media for the marches of 08 March 2017.

This is just the first step since I believe the question may relate to the impact they had. I don't think they used 'Marxism' as such as this refers to the political policy, but I think it may relate to Marxist strategy and by their presence we would now explore their involvement and motivation.
