International Women’s Day 2024: Say NO! to the patriarchal degradation, dehumanization, and subjugation of all women everywhere, and all oppression based on gender or sexual orientation!
NO! to the Christian fascist onslaught on women's right to abortion and on the very existence of LGBTQ people across the U.S.!
NO! to Islamic fundamentalists in Iran and beyond forcing women to veil themselves under threat of jail and even death!
NO! to femicide—the murder of women just for being women—across Africa, Latin America and everywhere on this planet!
NO! to women being told day in and day out to “hold the family together”—even as all too many suffer abuse within the family!
NO! to rape and the violent degradation of sexual slavery, prostitution and pornography!
NO! to the vicious exploitation of billions of women worldwide in sweatshops and farmlands and service jobs!
All this oppression is woven into the system of capitalism-imperialism. The simple truth is this: Capitalism and Patriarchy—you can't end one without ending the other.
The liberating truth is this: We can forge a whole new world, of emancipated, freely cooperating and flourishing human beings of all genders. That’s a scientific fact! But this can only happen with a real revolution.
We need and we demand: REVOLUTION, for a whole new way to live and a fundamentally different system.
International Women’s Day 2024: Revolution is more possible—not in some far-off time, but in this time!
The rulers of this system are at each other's throats. Trump and other fascists are shredding norms to impose a white supremacist, woman-hating, America-first nightmare far worse than any of us have lived through. Biden and the Democrats pose as champions of women and the people, while compromising away our rights and backing genocide in Gaza. The fight between them is likely to get all out of control in 2024. This is NOT the time to choose the “lesser of two evils,” or to desperately fight to preserve what has been. NO!
Now is the time to take advantage of the deep divisions among these rulers to go after their whole system, with the aim of bringing it down and putting something much better in its place.
Bob Avakian, the revolutionary leader who has brought forward a new framework for human emancipation, has said: “Radical change is coming: Will it be emancipating, or enslaving—revolutionary, or reactionary?”
THAT is up to us… and to YOU.
