    Default A revolutionary nationalist persecptive on "Slut walk".

    People of Color Organize! is one of the best and most pro-Communist revolutionary nationalist sites out there. This is a great examination of Slut Walk from the vantage point of proletarian women of color living under patriarchy, white supremacy and capitalism.

    "Many websites have devoted pages and pages to SlutWalk, an event that has popped up in several North American cities. More criticism is emerging about the privilege, self-involvement and whiteness of perspectives forwarded in the action.
    Clearly much of the media, a lot of men and society itself are deeply misogynist and racist. But is the fixation with “slut-shaming” addressing the fact that white supremacy and misogyny remain strong? Or are we having easier conversations — e.g. don’t assault me or pick on me for my choices — in favor of much more challenging ones about sexism and lack of opportunity for women that cut the legs out from under ideals such libertarianism holds dear — meritocracy, the Protestant work ethic and the illusion that everyone regardless of race, class or gender has unlimited free choice?
    My first reactions to SlutWalk distill from there…"

    It was already posted in the other threaad, it's still written by a man who offers little to no class analysis and whose gender analysis can basically be summed up as "women get back to your places". It's still shit if you're posting it, and while it gains quantitatively, its quality is still non-existent.

    As a Dworkinite you should be ashamed to even consider using something that argues seriously "How would the Mexican-American mothers I know feel about their daughters calling themselves whores?" as though it was a meaningful criticism. Its main critique is still supported mostly by bourgeois white feminists, and girl on the left is still not white.

    It also conflates a ton of shit. Slut walk is about rape and victim blaming. I also find hilarious that, as with all other pieces on the subject, support for the piece seems to come from the worst corners, conservative "anti-racist" males, white bourgeois feminists, etc. It's like it managed to unite sexist moc and racist white feminists (plus homophobes and transphobes) in the idea that these are uppity trashy women deserving of strawmen and scorn.

    Last edit: "revolutionary nationalist" - bourgeois nationalism masquerading as third worldism is still bourgeois nationalism

    We're having a slutwalk here in Milwaukee in August! Soooooooo excited!
    I dreamt of a flower that was so beautiful that when it whithered away and died a tear left my eye. I saw our births, our lives and our deaths. I felt fire paint me with pain and I felt a kiss on my lips with a knife in my neck. Love to heartbreak to self-destruction to birth and to finally learning to frolic back into the same trap with a warm smile.
