The communists/socialists were against traditional cultures. They banned Ukrainians, Russians, Chinese, Koreans and amongst others from: wearing traditional clothing, listening to their folk music, practising their religions, replacing folk architecture with 'socialist realism'(Also 'functionalism' and the like), (sometimes) even speaking their languages. I do not see any reason why those Filipino communist rebel fighters would do the same thing and generally, I don't see any reason why most Marxist-Leninists and Maoists would have abandoned this habit.

@@malcombrown7617 Buddy. There were always women oppression in traditional cultures. Per the Marx's communist vision, Women are equal to men and should have every rights that men enjoy.

It's also a bit strange that many people focus a lot on the "Stalinist Era" (the ML era while Stalin was General Secretary) as if he had control over specific circumstances or could have just willed sexism away if he wanted. This could also vary by region as Russia itself is full of varying regions, cultures, and people. Of course sexism isn't going away within 1 generation just because the party tries to make it so. Yet still the USSR had many women engineers by the 1960s. That means those people grew up in the so called Stalinist era. Regarding the video specifically: I don't like the use of anecdotal without at least multiple examples. In the one example, the fact that she even could get divorced in the 1930s was a big deal for any other country. There is a surprising amount of conjecture that overall takes away from the information and is just speculation on anecdotal examples as well as speculation on broad ones. mixing this with practical and real sources also provided makes it seem oddly misleading whether or not that is the intention. I think the video could have done with more foundation, specifically the conditions leading up to these points. Such as, the climb for many woman was slow due to men pre-revolution being the only ones to get any kind of education. The specific examples are great for demonstrating the complexity of sexism on an individual level during this time, particularly for where the person was, but I don't like the speculative remarks that were being drawn from it. I want to be clear, I'm saying that speculation is counter productive and shouldn't be used in an otherwise informational video that conducts analysis over such a broad stretch of time. Also post war sought the inclusion of countries who were fascist and very sexist which obviously would start diluting the pool. I would have liked to have seen more information about specific Soviet Blocs varied with women.

Increasing participation in the workforce and keeping birth rate up weren't so much at conflict in the Soviet Union as they are in some other systems, because Soviets offered childcare for working mothers. They tried to boost birth rate in several ways, offering monetary and other benefits for having children and banning abortion in 1936 and imposing a tax on childlessness in 1941. Abortion ban was harsh, but it probably didn't seem as bad then as it would now, because Soviet Union was the only country where it had been legal. The ban wasn't as effective as they had thought, because large part of the population had already gotten used to abortions and opted for illegal ones after the ban

So after really trying to find actual sources for the childless tax, I came up empty on the USSR, but found the United States tried a couple times in some states to have a bachelor tax around the early 1900s. Montana had it for a year in 1922 before it was struck down and California tried to have it in 1934. If you have a source on the USSR having it I would really appreciate it. The wiki sources were useless as usual.

Just wanted to point to point out the 1936 constitution ratified by Stalin actually prohibited abortion and made it harder for women to initiate divorce. Obviously setting back women's rights that were achieved during the early stages of the revolution. Women were still expected and even encouraged them to provide both paid and domestic labor. This did nothing but emphasize instead of erase the gender division of labor because of the Dual burden of paid and unpaid labor that women had to endure. This relegated women in Soviet society primarily to the role of reproductive based labor. Which consisted of child rearing.

Well, well. A "Marxist" channel that won't use the very basic methods of materialism and dialect for its analysis - neither consider contradiction within its rhetoric at least, to cover its shame. What we have here is an essay that fails to cover basic concepts and developments achieved when Stalin served as a General Secretary towards gender equality. The main - if not only - concern of this video is to highlight wrong decisions - few of them legit while the majority being ridiculous, not considering any historical context, thus resulting in wrong conclusions and misleading viewers. But, what can one expect when Lynne Attwood and her (truly marxist :D) concept of a "rational and romantic view" is used? Give me a break. Anyway, we know you socialist-democrats hate Stalin - USSR in general as a matter of fact, but at least try to retain some dignity when using Marxism/Leninism as your supposed theory and method to view this world.
