Module 4: Strategy and Tactics, the Science of Class Struggle
Class: The Anti-Patriarchal Front
Date & Time: Thurs, April 11, 6:30-8:30PM
Description: The struggle against patriarchy is central to the struggle against national oppression. Recognizing that patriarchy is exacerbated by capitalism and imperialism, many national liberation movements took up the anti-patriarchal front as central, and not just in symbolic representation, but through active engagement and participation- women organized, mobilized their communities, took up arms, and fought for the liberation of their country and the transformation of their society. Women’s liberation is indispensable for the realization of a new, democratic, liberated society, and only through deliberate and principled resistance against both national oppression and patriarchy can this transformation be achieved.
