The only thing I might change is "--only on the oppression of 'someone'" I would change it to the oppression of EVERYONE. Eventually, capitalism evolves to the point of capitalists oppressing other capitalists because it's designed to funnel wealth upwards. IOW, it's ultimately based on the oppression of everyone but the top dog.

The system really is like a game of Monopoly and you only "win" at Monopoly when everyone else is bankrupted.

However, in the here and now, people who are MOST oppressed should get priority solidarity. I just don't think that a bourgeoisie "women's" group should be looked at as solution to women's oppression. By definition, a bourgeoisie women's group is going to support the system itself over the needed change.

This has been a nice discussion. I've enjoyed reading the blog and all of these responses.
