>>> The point being, as it should be very clear, that the particular interests
of any subjugated group cannot represent the interests of all subjugated
groups in capitalist society; the only appropriate framework for a social
transformation that might resolve all the specific instances is found in
class analysis. This is not to say that women or subjugated minorities
don't have their own particular, separate issues, but that those
particularities are not the essential basis of oppression in capitalist
society or the basis for any true liberation. <<<

        But it seems that historical marxist societies persisted in discriminating women. And that non-capitalist societies still discriminate or subjugate women (and have done so). It seems that the subjugation of women is prior to class division, it is more archaic, primitive, atavistic. And even more universal than class opression.
