I don’t understand why there are so many people who consider themselves “Marxist feminists”, but at the same time are distracted by astrology.

The origin of feminism is working class, and as a working class movement, it is materialist. I don’t know if they at least know what dialectical materialism is, since they don’t see such an abysmal contradiction between astrology (pseudoscience) and feminism (materialism).

They remind me of the liberal “feminist” Gloria Steinem.

And the same with some anarchists.

What do you think about it?

    thanks for posting this out more coherently than I could. I’m no astrologer but the weird ass struggle sessions we have about it tri annually are really fucking dumb and pointless and I’ll point out that we have more than a little catholic apologia on this site pretty consistently and it shouldn’t be controversial to say astrology has done much less material harm to women and leftists generally than the fucking pedo cabal that did literal crusades and genocides and witch burnings
