Overcoming Binary Logic: A Difficult, Unfinished Process

Abstract

While condemning property as ‘theft’, and therefore, supporting the lower class struggle, on the other hand Proudhon claimed that the feminist movement was synonymous with ‘pornocracy’. The followers of Fourier, a socialist who supported both the movement for women’s emancipation and the worker’s movement, tried to make their socialist dreams come true in Algeria, in the land that had been grabbed from the Arabs whose class struggle was not at all taken into consideration. Marx’s greatness lies in his ability to unify the three forms of class struggle and to unify them in one gigantic movement for emancipation.
