MIM replies to Rolf on gender

[Maoist Internationalist Movement <mim3@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Rolf Martens is a prolific writer. Perhaps he has some
old bulletins on gender. Let's see them Rolf.

I'm guessing
you might have taken Lenin's advice that half of agitation
needs to be in connection to gender, because you wouldn't
let the status quo speak for itself unchallenged.

Neil can't do anything other than make jokes about gang rape.

Most of those who criticize us--95% in the so-called
Marxism world--have done little more than publish a page or
two here and there on the question. They don't
regularly answer the raging debates on gender like MIM.
It's easy for them to criticize us, because they
don't take responsibility for a line themselves. They publish
a page or two from Lenin or some other figure, but
they never integrate Marxism-Leninism-Maoism (or anything
claiming to oppose Liberal feminism) with concrete conditions
in the imperialist countries.

This is a separate question, but the reason why most
Trotskyists and crypto-Trotskyists don't publish much on gender
(beyond tailing bourgeois Liberalism and neo-Freudianism)
is that they believe gender oppression reduces to class.
Support the labor aristocracy these folks tend to think,
and all wimmin's oppression will disappear, just as all
national oppression will disappear. It's a tried and true
method of using the struggles of the oppressed for the
benefit of the labor aristocracy.
