Eight of March: International Women's Day.

Today we celebrate the international women's day, once formed in what was Ungdomshuset in Denmark at the socialist women's conference 1910. Interestingly enough, this holiday also has roots in the American proletariat, much like the first of May.

Even today women are ranked as second class citizens, ascribed essential, weak properties and marginalized in society. Feminism, as everyone should know, is a prerequisite for socialism and a cornerstone in radical politics. Every step forward for feminism is a step forward for the progressive forces in the world.

Find a demonstration where you live, where there is one. If you happen to be in Lund, come to Stortorget at 17:00 for the demo.
