The Human Rights of Privileged Victims. A Marxist Satire on Shouting Matches
Year: 2020
Type: article
Abstract: In contemporary Western nations, gender issues are being used to split the oppressed and make them fight among themselves. Men and women spend endless time and effort squabbling about the so-called “male privilege” and an alleged set of attendant disparities, rather than combining their efforts in order to pursue better wages, better working conditions, sensible monetary and fiscal policies by State authorities, true economic security and autonomy, a life-saving stop to the all-embracing profit-motive that is destroying the planet, as well as emancipatory self-ownership and democratic self-stewardship towards full human-rights enjoyment. Working men and women of the world: stop shouting at each other and unite!
