Two thousand years of patriarchal rule under the shadow of the cross ought to be enough to turn women toward the feminist 'salvation' of this world." -- Annie Laurie Gaylor, "Feminist Salvation," "The Humanist", July/August 1988, p.37. 10.

"Gentlemen, comrades, do not be concerned about all you hear about Glasnost and Perestroika and democracy in the coming years. They are primarily for outward consumption. There will be no significant internal changes in the Soviet Union, other than for cosmetic purposes. Our purpose is to disarm the Americans and let them fall asleep." -- Mikhail Gorbachev

"The nuclear family must be destroyed, and people must find better ways of living together. ... Whatever its ultimate meaning, the break-up of families now is an objectively revolutionary process. ... "Families have supported oppression by separating people into small, isolated units, unable to join together to fight for common interests." -- Functions of the Family, Linda Gordon, WOMEN: A Journal of Liberation, Fall 1969
.
"...No woman should have to deny herself any opportunities because of her special responsibilities to her children. ... Families will be finally destroyed only when a revolutionary social and economic organization permits people's needs for love and security to be met in ways that do not impose divisions of labor, or any external roles, at all." -- Functions of the Family, Linda Gordon, WOMEN: A Journal of Liberation, Fall, 1969

.
"The plight of mothers is more desperate than that of other women, and the more numerous the children the more hopeless the situation seems to be.... Most women...would shrink at the notion of leaving husband and children, but this is precisely the case in which brutally clear rethinking must be undertaken." --Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1971), p.320
.
.
“Women’s revolution is necessarily
situationist: we cannot argue that all will be well when socialists have
succeeded in abolishing private property and restoring public ownership of the
means of production. We cannot wait that long. Women’s liberation, if it
abolishes the patriarchal family, will abolish a necessary substructure of the
authoritarian state, and once that withers away Marx will have come true
willy-nilly, so let’s get on with it.” -- Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch p.368
.
"[Greer called for the establishment of] "rambling organic structure[s]" [that would] "have the advantage of being an unbreakable home in that it did not rest on the frail shoulders of two bewildered individuals trying to apply a contradictory blueprint." -- Germaine Greer, The Female Eunuch (New York: McGraw-Hill, 1971), p. 233.

HOOKS, BELL

"We live in a culture that condones and celebrates rape. Within a phallocentric, patriarchal state the rape of women by men is a ritual that daily perpetuates and maintains sexist oppression and exploitation. We cannot hope to transform "rape culture" without committing ourselves fully to resisting and eradicating patriarchy." -- Bell Hooks, "Seduced by Violence No More," in Stan, Adele ed.

"Every collectivist revolution rides in on a Trojan horse of 'emergency'. It was the tactic of Lenin, Hitler, and Mussolini. In the collectivist sweep over a dozen minor countries of Europe, it was the cry of men striving to get on horseback. And 'emergency' became the justification of the subsequent steps. This technique of creating emergency is the greatest achievement that demagoguery attains." -- Herbert Hoover

"Destroy the family, you destroy the country." -- V.I. Lenin
.
“The chief thing is to get women to take part in socially productive labor, to liberate them from ‘domestic slavery,’ to free them from their stupefying and humiliating subjugation to the eternal drudgery of the kitchen and the nursery. This struggle will be a long one, and it demands a radical reconstruction, both of social technique and of morale. But it will end in the complete triumph of Communism.” ~ V.I. Lenin, International Working Women’s Day Speech, 1920..

"The way to crush the bourgeoisie is to grind them between the millstones of taxation and inflation." -- V.I. Lenin
.
"A system of licensing and registration is the perfect device to deny gun ownership to the bourgeoisie." -- V.I. Lenin
.
"Only an armed people can be the real bulwark of popular liberty." -- V.I. Lenin
.
"...the concentration of capital and the growth of their turnover is radically challenging the significance of the banks. Scattered capitalists are transformed into a single collective capitalist. When carrying the current accounts of a few capitalists, the banks, as it were, transact a purely technical and exclusively auxiliary operation. When, however, these operations grow to enormous dimensions we find that a handful of monopolists control all the operations, both commercial and industrial, of capitalist society. They can, by means of their banking connections." -- V.I. Lenin
.
"...first ascertain exactly the position of the various capitalists, then control them, influence them by restricting or enlarging, facilitating or hindering their credits, and finally they can entirely determine their fate." -- V.I. Lenin
.
"It would be the greatest mistake, certainly, to think that concessions mean peace. Nothing of the kind. Concessions are nothing but a new form of war." -- V.I. Lenin

"While the State exists, there can be no freedom. When there is freedom there will be no State." -- V.I. Lenin

"We do not have time to play at “oppositions” at “conferences.” We will keep our political opponents... whether open or disguised as “nonparty,” in prison." -- V.I. Lenin

"The bourgeoisie is many times stronger than we. To give it the weapon of freedom of the press is to ease the enemy’s cause, to help the class enemy. We do not desire to end in suicide, so we will not do this." V.I. Lenin
.
“We must now say proudly and without any
exaggeration that apart from Soviet Russia, there is not a country in the world
where women enjoy full equality and where women are not placed in the
humiliating position felt particularly in day-to-day family life. This is one of
our first and most important tasks…. Housework is the most unproductive, the
most barbarous and the most arduous work a woman can do. It is exceptionally
petty and does not include anything that would in any way promote the
development of the woman…The building of socialism will begin only when we have
achieved the complete equality of women and when we undertake the new work
together with women who have been emancipated from that petty stultifying,
unproductive work…. We are setting up model institutions, dining-rooms and
nurseries, that will emancipate women from housework…. These institutions that
liberate women from their position as household slaves are springing up where it
is in any way possible.” ~ V.I. Lenin, The Task of the Working Women’s Movement in the Soviet Republic , 1919.

LEVINE, JUDITH

"Man-hating is everywhere, but everywhere it is twisted and transformed, disguised, tranquilized, and qualified. It coexists, never peacefully, with the love, desire, respect, and need women also feel for men. Always man-hating is shadowed by its milder, more diplomatic and doubtful twin, ambivalence." -- Judith Levine; Authoress
."Men's sexuality is mean and violent, and men so powerful that they can 'reach WITHIN women to fuck/construct us from the inside out.' Satan-like, men possess women, making their wicked fantasies and desires women's own. A woman who has sex with a man, therefore, does so against her will, 'even if she does not feel forced.' -- Judith Levine, (explicating comment profiling prevailing misandry.)
.
"I feel what they feel: man-hating, that volatile admixture of pity, contempt, disgust, envy, alienation, fear, and rage at men. It is hatred not only for the anonymous man who makes sucking noises on the street, not only for the rapist or the judge who acquits him, but for what the Greeks called philo-aphilos, 'hate in love,' for the men women share their lives with--husbands, lovers, friends, fathers, brothers, sons, coworkers." -- Judith Levine, Authoress of My Enemy, My love
.
.
"There are no boundaries between affectionate sex and slavery in (the male) world. Distinctions between pleasure and danger are academic; the dirty-laundrylist of 'sex acts'...includes rape, foot binding, fellatio, intercourse, auto eroticism, incest, anal intercourse, use and production of pornography, cunnilingus, sexual harassment, and murder." -- Judith Levine; summarizing comment on the WAS document, (A southern Women's Writing Collective: Women Against Sex.)
