Re: value and gender: dirty deeds done dirt cheap ?

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

the differential rate of exploitation "divides and conquers" the working class (either domestically or internationally or both) and all else equal, raises the over-all rate of exploitation. Similarly, the weaker the working class in terms of organization and consciousness, the less able to fight differential exploitation. Putting these together, we get a vicious circle. It seems like we're in that vicious circle nowadays.
