feminism is marxism

First, not all socialism is Marxism, there are democratic socialists, Leninists, Maoists et cetera. Feminism may be similar to socialism, but it is not equal in meaning to socialism, and it is very different from Marxism. Also, it does in the paper refer to roots in the Old Left and New Left. A) that is roots, that does not mean they are one and the same b) the Old Left people were Trotkyists, Leninists, and Stalinists, differentiated from the Marxists of the New Left. She also speaks of Marxist materialism, which is not necessarily Marxism, it is one concept of Karl Marx's ideals. The paper shows that many of the so-called "Pro-Woman" feminists had roots in Socialism,but it does not establish the two as one and the same. "Consider these areas of interest to feminists in the economic area: Universal healthcare Affirmitive action Paid daycare Equality of Outcomes, not the Equality of opportunity" These are somewhat (okay maybe more than somewhat) socialist areas of interests, but they are not Marxist, there is a difference that you are not recognizing, and that is why your argument fails. "Feminist outright reject the free market and try through political action to establish socialism to benefit their class at the expense of the rest of society." These ideas aren't intended to hurt men, nor are they intended to make women the ruling class, they want a) women to be treated the same as men b) as they are mostly liberals, they want liberal ideas, does that surprise you? None of this makes them Marxists, and therefore, the resolution fails.
