Here's some badass propaganda from the Soviet Union geared towards women ♥️ The Bolshevik Revolution advanced the interests of women worldwide, securing rights we still have not secured in the US today.

Since I just spent the last 24 hours getting trolled by bros claiming to be US Communists (though a significant number of accounts were astroturfed or men's rights linked 🤔) Probably worth contemplating why...

And asking if what the US advanced as "feminism" was ever anything other than women's sexual exploitation and oppression. I would argue that redefining feminism and women's advancement to benefit men was always the intent and it was EXTREMELY successful and very much a CIA op.

Communist movements heavily featured themes of women's liberation from patriarchy and social slavery in their propaganda and artwork. It was all about economic independence! So why might the fascist AF CIA infiltrated left suddenly label expecting this as "liberal" and "woke"?

Let's compare the themes and imagery of the Soviet Union versus the United States during World War II... It's almost like the Communists were empowering and promoting women and the US was sexualizing and subjugating them 🙃 Hmmm...

And on the labor front... Look at these old Soviet posters with women front and center. Whereas US working women in imagery was ... Hmmm. That's an interesting angle for that shot. Very professional. I don't at all notice her breasts 🙄

And this one... Well let's just say we can tell who was being taken seriously in the labor force and it wasn't the US women.

The US workplace was another place for men to control women. What they wore, their makeup, their hair, ensuring they deferred to men...but the best is where they create terms like latchkey kids to shame women but also acknowledge the income they earned was necessary. Empowering!

The 1917 Bolshevik Revolution gave women full legal equalitythe right to vote, work, & hold public office. The 1918 Family Code had no fault divorce, legalized abortion (1920), paid maternity leave & job guarantees on return, and equal pay. US women still don't have all this 🤯

The US was set on enforcing patriarchy while increasing capitalist extraction & guilting women for independence they didn't have. They lied about the Soviet Union & reinforced homemaking as women's role in US anti-communist propaganda. Weird to hear some US Communists echo this🙃

By the 1930s women in the Soviet Union made up a huge portion of the skilled labor force, including 70% of doctors and a significant portion of scientists. Damn! That's a huge leap when a political project actually sets a goal!(In 2025 the US women make up less than 35% and 18%)

Meanwhile, in the United States, a CIA co-opted version of "feminism" was leading the world in deep thoughts on how wardrobe was the key to women's advancement🤦‍♀️ Thanks, PBS for reminding us of this win in women's history... Pls ignore that none of the material demands were met.

And let's not forget "sexual liberation" without economic guarantees... That's a thing for women right?🙃 Definitely don't Google the percent of women getting strangled in bed or earnings to cost of living ratios... But we can wear whatever we want (with LOTS of feedback) sooo 🎉

Tragic when you realize how much womens advancement got hosed by anti-communists and the CIA. They got equal pay for equal work, paid maternity leave, job return guarantees & social support like child care. We got divisive Phyllis Schlafly, DEI & its backlash, Tinder & Tradwives

So if someone tells you talking about women's interests is "liberal" & "woke"... Just remind them that the Communists actually successfully organized for Women's liberation through labor & had fantastic propaganda to do it -it was the sexist US anti-communists who fought the idea

I should also add if the United States ever tries to convince you that sending in US NGO's to influence culture, dropping bombs on another country or overthrowing their government is to "empower women", please laugh them out of the room.
But definitely take note of the fact that the freedom they're offering is just showing more skin for men... Because feminism 🙃

The consistent trend in every country, the US "gives "freedom" to is women being forced into prostitution and sex trafficked. Ukraine, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Libya, Haiti and the fall of the Soviet Union all leads to massive sexual exploitation explosions for women.

The US ruling class has never for a day of its existence believed in the empowerment or economic independence of women - They believe in Epstein Island and socially reinforced patriarchy.

Anyone painting a picture of Communism like it is some kind of conservative patriarchal system or encouraging women to abandon labor and be domestic homemakers has lost the plot. The Soviet Union had entire divisions dedicated to women's propaganda and labor advancement. It is not anti-socialist or anti-communist to acknowledge the need for this type of propaganda or to acknowledge the explicit demands of women in a communist revolution.

In the US we run a very high risk of every leftist move getting thrown off course because people have been subjected to decades of harmful sexist propaganda to reinforce bourgeoisie concepts like women staying home which 99% of working class families can't afford anyway. Telling anyone this is possible or ideal in an era where only 10% of men even make enough money to qualify for a mortgage, let alone enough to support a family - The entire concept is setting both men and women up for disastrous failure.

Every legitimate revolutionary left movement that has ever arisen in the US has been infiltrated by the CIA and FBI and ideologically weaponized at some point in its existence. That's why we don't have a left. The quickest and most effective way to set back a communist movement is to make it hostile to 50% of the working class up front and having it not properly represent the interests of women. Listen to the the horror stories of women out of these '60s and '70s liberation movements that experienced significant sexism and abuse, only later to find out they were all FBI and CIA infiltrated.

And all of this Epstein nightmare is being revealed while television, porn and even mainstream literature pushed by the imperialist Zionist establishment is normalizing physical abuse of women, relabeling it as "play" and encouraging people to explore completely unequal power dynamics in their bedroom as though we are not already subjugated enough in our work life and society.

There is nothing normal about the absolute domination of men. There's nothing fun about it. You do not have to tolerate it. It has nothing to do with "gender roles". When you read through the Epstein files, realize what power looks like. Look at the images of the tied up women. Read Virginia Geoffrey's accounts of abuse. Then ask yourself why 50 Shades of Grey was mass marketed as a best seller. Why is it on your TV shows? Why is it a theme in all of pop music now? How does this groom is as women to accept the abuse these people want to practice on us?

Epstein is by far not the only person trafficking, sexually abusing and exploiting women. Just look at this case of a former Billionare financier tied to George Soros. Realize all of his enablers are still out there. All of the modeling agencies and the pageants are still grooming.

The goal is equality and mutual respect and if anyone tells you otherwise, they are not on your team.
