The Oppression of Women and the Two Outmodeds
From Unresolved Contradictions, Driving Forces for Revolution, 2009 In today’s world, with regard to the woman question we see again the relevance of the “two historically outmodeds.” In A Declaration: For Women’s Liberation and the Emancipation of All Humanity, published by our party earlier this year (2009), the following is cited: What we see in contention here with Jihad on the one hand and McWorld/McCrusade on the other hand, are historically outmoded strata among colonized and oppressed humanity up against historically outmoded ruling strata of the imperialist system.

From “January 2021 New Year Statement: New Year, The Urgent Need, For A Radically New World — For The Emancipation Of All Humanity” Excerpt from Part 3: To understand why we are confronted with the situation we are, it is necessary not merely to respond to—and in effect be whipped around by—what is happening on the surface at any given time, but to dig beneath the surface, to discover the underlying mainsprings and causes of things, and arrive at an understanding of the fundamental problem and the actual solution.
