    feminism is marxism

    First, definitions: Feminism: organized activity on behalf of women's rights and interests Marxism: a theory and practice of socialism including the labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society is: present 3rd singular of be, dialect present 1st & 2nd singular of be, dialect present plural of be to be: to equal in meaning Source: Merriam-Webster That means that organized activity on behalf women's rights and interests is the same as a theory and practice of socialism including labor theory of value, dialectical materialism, the class struggle, and dictatorship of the proletariat until the establishment of a classless society. One could make the argument that Marxism would improve women's rights, and my argument to that would be that throughout history Marxism has only led to decreases in rights for everyone, ie North Korea, Cuba, USSR, East Germany, etc. The other argument would be that all feminists are Marxists, which is simply not true, plenty of people who fight for women's rights do not support Marxist ideals. My opponent's case is a complete non sequitur, it is simply some paper on a woman's experiences on feminism. It does not contain more than trivial evidence that the feminist in the paper is a Marxist, and even if it did, it would not speak for all feminists. Your move.
