Vivons nous dans une société patriarcale?

 Deux militantes m'ont demandé récemment "Comment tu peux dire que tu es contre l'oppression des femmes et ne pas te dire féministe?" Une autre "Comment peux-tu dire que la société actuelle n'est pas patriarcale, si tu dis être opposé à l'oppression des femmes." Souvent, si je dis que l'oppression des femmes est enracinée dans l'institution de la famille, mais que la famille est subordonnée au capitalisme (et précédemment aux autres sociétés de classe) on croit que j'ai dit que l'oppression des femmes est moins grave et quelque part plus acceptable que l'oppression des travailleurs (une position que je trouve ridicule). On a également cru que je pense que les femmes devraient attendre la révolution ouvrière pour se battre contre leur oppression. En réalité, puisque les femmes constituent en France la majorité de la classe ouvrière, il est inconcevable d'avoir une révolution des travailleurs sans une remise en cause radicale de l'oppression des femmes.

 Existe-t-il une position marxiste matérialiste qui peut rejeter l'idée du patriarcat comme dynamique qui règne sur l'évolution de la société actuelle, sans abandonner la lutte contre l'oppression des femmes. Je crois que oui, et dans l'article suivant, que j'ai écrit il y a quelques années, j'essaie d'expliquer laquelle, et pourquoi c'est important.

Investor sees 'great returns' from new digital media

Vucinic, photo by Ted.com Many media investors see disaster everywhere they look, as traditional media lose audience, revenues, and relevance. Sasa Vucinic, co-founder and co-managing director of North Base Media , sees great investment opportunities, especially in developing markets, such as Central Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America. "We invest in serious digital-only media oriented toward the younger audience that can disrupt their markets. And we think it�s a phenomenal business that will bring great financial returns." Vucinic, who began his journalism career in Serbia, has been a crusader for media organizations that tell the truth about corrupt, oppressive regimes. I reached him via Skype in South Korea, where he was looking at investment opportunities. I wanted to ask him about social purpose investing , where investors direct their money toward organizations that not only give a financial return but also have a positive impact on society.

US: Atiku Abubakar In $40 Million Money-Laundering Accusation With Wife, Jennifer

A United States Senate report has accused Atiku Abubakar, Nigeria’s former Vice-President, of laundering over $40 million in suspicious funds into the United States between 2000 and 2008. And his partner in the lucrative effort was Jennifer Douglas, his fourth wife.  Ms. Douglas is sometimes known as Lady Jamilah Jennifer, or Douglas E, or Jennifer Iwenjora, the name by which she was known in the 1980s when she was a reporter with the Nigeria Television Authority in Lagos.  According to the report, which was written by the Senate Subcommittee on Investigations, most of the funds were through wire transfers sent by offshore corporations to U.S. bank accounts. Of the $40 million identified in the US investigation, $25 million was reportedly wire-transferred by offshore corporations into more than 30 U.S. bank accounts opened by Ms. Douglas, primarily by Guernsey Trust Company Nigeria Ltd., LetsGo Ltd. Inc., and Sima Holding Ltd. “In a 2008 civil complaint, the U.S. Secu
