So we should say that socialism is opposed to feminism. Of course the parallel argument he would not accept goes like this: in the 1930s, most Marxists were Stalinists, and revolutionary socialists who believed in democracy were ina minority of the Marxist movement. So democratic revolutionary socialism was opposed to Marxism. Adam would say: the Stalinists weren't real Marxists. By analogy he ought to say taht the bourgeois liberal femists aren't real feminists. I go the other way. The Stalinists were Marxists with bad ideas. The liberal feminists are feminists with limited ones. --Justin --- from list marxism2-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
