Marxism and the Sexual Revolution

This book, which was prepared by selecting from Aleksandra Kollontay's writings, which also deal with the first experiences of the socialist revolution in Russia, reaches the reader today, when discussions on the experiences of socialism are intensifying. Before that, we think that everyone who is interested in women's freedom and women's revolution today and in the future will find the book with great interest. The articles in the book make a sharp criticism of the institution of marriage, which is the guardian of the hypocritical morality of capitalist society, and its twin, the trade in women's bodies. While discussing these issues, Kollontay does not neglect the criticism of the views and actions of the feminist movement during the period. With its discussions, it analyzes the gender relations of the human race throughout history, but especially of modernity, marked by capitalist private property, and illuminates the future by making a detailed reckoning with the historical past of marriage. The product and work of the private property system puts forward solid theses from the basic theoretical and historical perspective about the relations between the sexes, against the fairy tale of the immutability of today's relations.
