Communist Party policy supports actual women

Seems this wonderful policy was passed at their 55th Congress. And the Morning Star is about the only consistently pro-women / anti self-ID paper around. See you at the next meeting comrades.

Someone who has twitter please let her know. I'd hate for her to miss out on this.

Ash must be exploding unable to function.

I appreciate the policy.

I still won't be voting for anyone at this point in time.

Wonder what Ash Sarkar thinks?

That is a well written policy. I'm not a communist either but I think it is possible to pick and choose policies we agree with. I'm normally a Labour supporter but on this issue they are way off the mark.

Or did you mean MonstersNet?

Grauniad · 22/11/2018 12:30

'The ComMumsNet Party'?
'The Red Flag Avoidance Party'?

I am giving serious thought to joining the Party now that I've seen their manifesto.

I just need a good party name.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 22/11/2018 11:44

Ooops. A quick Google search shows me I'm in error. The MRL Party is very much extant.

Apologies, Monsters.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 22/11/2018 11:43

Dodo, I think the Monster Raving Looney Party is now defunct as Screaming Lord Sutch is now pining for the fjords.

DodoPatrol · 22/11/2018 11:41

Oh fuck it all.

Does this mean that at the next election, my choices for the protection of reality are: Tory and hope for the best; Communist party; or Monster Raving Loonies?

Yes, anyone who disagrees with TRAs is a rightwing fundamentalist - I think if you check the OED it's now the definition of rightwing.

Floisme · 22/11/2018 08:31

Does this mean the Communist Party is also funded by far right Christian groups?

As you say, funny old world.

It would be illogical for them to not stand up for women - communism is based on class analysis, and it doesn't take much analysis to see that women as a class are oppressed on the basis of the reproductive potential of their physical anatomy.

DisrespectfulAdultFemale · 22/11/2018 06:51

I am glad to see the Communist Party standing up for women.

Oldstyle and others. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/communists-call-protection-womens-spaces (and the photo above. Do you have it in a document form?)

Johnny Best prefaced his tweet with this: "What a broad alliance this is: the communists, the religious conservatives, radfems, women from all backgrounds and professions and politics...the only thing missing is the fucking liberal left who are supposed to be the ones who give a shit!" I've been trying to find the original source. I've never followed communist politics, nor studied the theories in any depth. But thanks again and if you can I'd love to read more.

I shall drift off to sleep humming the red flag.

Funny old world - I could never be a communist, nor do I share very many political views with David TC Davies, but I'm eternally grateful to both for actually standing up for women.

Bezalelle · 21/11/2018 22:57

Oh thank fuck for that!

Has someone told Comrade Jezza?
