Women: The Leading Force for Growing Militant Unions - 4 Challenges to Capitalism with Richard Wolff

Prof Wolff describes how women have not only become a large part of the labor force, but also a leading factor for progressive change in the face of inequality.

"Women have become more militant. They've understood badly and painfully the failure of this society to support its working class. They are discovering through the dense fog of ideology that they need unions and that they need change. And that's why they're becoming leaders." - Richard Wolff

Thank you for being a beacon of hope for women like myself.

Rick is the speaker of the people. And so few are as articulate as he.

As a 55 year old retired teacher I can attest to the benefits being in a union have. I taught all my adult life, first in public schools, then at the City Colleges of Chicago, were, me and the teachers unionized.I was able to retire at my age & now I am enjoying life and living.

Whenever I see the term "Women" in a title and it's affirming something I just know the comments behold great treasures for me and I was no disappointed.

The same is found in veganism. Though documentaries such as The Game Changers which were athlete centric made a little shift. Though those who do not get the ethical principles do not last long because in that case it's just another diet.

Prof Wolff, can you cover currencies/fixed exchange systems such as the Bretton Woods system and how they relate to equality in economic terms?

They didn't get Bob Dylan's memo, "Union Sundown" from the vinyl album "Infidels" (1983). But YOU can watch the music video, right here on youtube!

I think the takeover of the workforce by women was a forced outcome, and corporations will have to make some tough choices regarding equality and equity in the face of declining revenue.

Professor Wolff seems to have forgotten a few simple basics:

- Women in the US are forced to work out of the home; thanks to inflationary pressures where the US family pushes the mom out of the home to hold onto a paycheck to pay rent and have food on the table;
- American kids are raised by strangers for the most part - not their own parents since moms are outside the home;
- The radicalization is not of women, but on western society; look at the decline in the fertility rates; Immigration is the only reason to keep the demographic numbers going
- The so called progressive democrats gave us Obama, Clinton and now Biden; who spoke well and ripped off the middle class. The democrats gave us NAFTA wiping out manufacturing sector and creating the rust belt in the US;
- Women are primary in the caregiving and educational sectors, which can't be outsourced- hence the numbers.
- Unions are not protected by the Government; for proof look at the Union busting tactics used against the Railroad workers by the Democrats or the Air traffic controllers strike busted by Reagan.

Schrödinger's feminism: Women are both empowered and victimized

[CesarGarcia-ogrz]

Why do you feel the need to emphasize "white men"? It's not just white men. It's men from the entire spectrum of race and origin. These men, tend to see others as individuals. It's mainly about policies that protect the individual.
It's not racism or sexism or whatever else you want to call it.

That conditioning of women excersing authority over men is still contrary to God's order (1Tim2:12, 13). This worldly order is conditioning after the sinful pride of men inherited from that debacle at the tower of babel (genesis11:4). Seeking to establish their own righteousness not God's. Views imprisoned solely on the goal of temporal gains. Not God making His tabernacle among men (rev21:3)
