I’m sorry but this is the funniest shit of all time. Trying to collect blackmail material about *checks notes* the sex life of a French politician? What will you leak to the French public next, what he had for lunch?
“First of all, we say primarily that the priority of this struggle is class. That Marx, and Lenin, and Che Guevara end Mao Tse-Tung and anybody else that has ever said or knew or practiced anything about revolution, always said that revolution is a class struggle. It was one class—the oppressed—those other class—the oppressor. And it’s got to be a universal fact. Those that don’t admit to that are those that don’t want to get involved in a revolution, because they know that as long as they’re dealing with a race thing, they’ll never be involved in a revolution. They can talk about numbers; they can hang you up in many, many ways, but as soon as you start talking about class, then you got to start talking about some guns. And that’s what the Party had to do.”

We need to make it clear early on that anyone spouting this drivel is either a domestic abuse apologist or an abuser themselves. Because let us be extremely clear here: what these men miss is literal ownership of their wives. That is what they want, that is what they are aiming for. That is its own form of domestic violence, and it encourages other forms of domestic violence.
Edit: Since multiple radfems have reblogged this addition, I feel like it is fucking essential to point out that while this push is clearly and obviously coming from misogynistic cis men and primarily directed at cis women married to cis men, that domestic abusers come in all shapes, sizes, ages, assigned sexes, genders, and backgrounds. If this bullshit were to pass, it would 110% be utilized by abusive cis women to prevent their husbands from escaping them and these male survivors would have even less recourse because of how unlikely it is that they will be believed about the domestic violence they’ve endured. Domestic violence is an LGBTQ+ issue also, but I seriously doubt that if society has regressed to the point where no fault divorce has been rescinded, that same sex or perceived same sex marriages would be legal, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
Any ideology that promotes the idea that men are always abusers or are the only abusers, and/or that women cannot be abusers of other humans regardless of assigned sex or gender, are ALSO abuse apologists or abusers themselves.
Anyway, I wrote this in a very truncated way that can apparently be misread by bigots and other fools, so I thought it was critical to clarify what I’m saying here.
Reblogging this for my necessary correction. Do not reblog the prior version if you happen to see it, and maybe check up on who you saw it from to make sure they’re not a terf or similar bigot that you’re inadvertently following.
OP you are so sexy for saying this.
reblogging especially for the additions. because yeah, I’m a guy who got a no-fault divorce from my emotionally and verbally abusive wife. if I’d had to testify against her or prove she abused me, that would’ve been a nightmare. if I’d had to live with her longer, it might’ve become physically dangerous.
all kinds of people can abuse their partners, not just men.
it’s important to acknowledge the domestic enslavement living through prisons and the police, but this system absolutely includes the borders and immigration laws, which exist to produce a slave class of workers who are quite literally non-citizens with no rights so that capitalists can exploit them and retaliate with deportation, often to homelands torn by war or poverty because of the U.S./the West.
there’s a book here, Fields of Resistance, that’s really informative. I’m in the middle of it but it’s been great so far
tldr: borders exist to enslave people
Abolish borders, abolish prisons, abolish ICE, abolish the police. They’re different machines of the same system
This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
