Communist Party policy supports actual women

[Oldstyle]

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.

Has someone told Comrade Jezza?

Oh thank fuck for that!

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.

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

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.

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

As you say, funny old world.

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

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?

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

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

Apologies, Monsters.

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

I just need a good party name.

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

Or did you mean MonstersNet?

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.

Wonder what Ash Sarkar thinks?

Ash Sarkar thinks?

Ash must be exploding unable to function.

I appreciate the policy.

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

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

Women-only toilets in the Gulags?

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.

You would think, but IME the socialist Bros don't see women as a class at all. They are all WATM and NAMALT and very quick to abuse women who are feminists and/or who don't fall in line behind them. Very disappointing.

But good on the communists!

Communists have a long history of support women (if you ignore the whole enslaving them bit but hey, they do that to everyone so at least it’s nog personal)

Say about the Communists what you will, but they know their shit when it comes to Materialism as the basis of societal realities.

Yes. It's come to something when we're having to commend the communists, hasn't it?
