Yall need to get woke. Where's the diversity?

Anna Zimmer-Cohen advocates for a synthesis of Marxist-Leninist-Maoist thought with fourth wave feminism. She seeks to create a state where women are the ruling class and are not bound to the whims of men or their ideals. Her justification is that men are unfit to rule due to innate aggression and violence, while women are natural diplomatic peacemakers, so women led states would lead to a more peaceful, just world. Men had their time running the planet and have led it to ruin, so women should have a turn. She also states that as birthgivers, they are entitled to rule over their creations. She sees the womens lib struggle first and foremost as being of greater importance than class, race, or any other factor. The laws and social structures of the new women's state must be created by and for women and reflect progressive social change. Laws take more influence fro Men are educated in feminism and how to treat women respectfully. They are disciplined if they engage in toxic masculine behavior.

The key goal is giving women equal power and not having them in a subordinate role to men. She sees gender roles as a social construct and an instrument used to keep women as domestic slaves historically. She sees women as intellectually equal (if not superior) but due to physical strength differences men used brutality, violence, and force to seize power and create systems that benefit them, but due to technological/social advancements women are able to finally rise up in order to free themselves. She believes that women constitute a proletariat in contrast to the male bourgeoise who use the labor of women to advance their own gains and exploit for their own ends due to embedded power structures. The only way to shift this paradigm in her view is through revolution, a vanguard party representing women, abolition of gender roles, abolition of hegemonical patriarchal systems like the family, allowing women to work in any field, and redistributing economic resources and political power to women that was historically denied to them. Men lived off the surplus value and slave labor of women, so women are due reparations and a say in the government. The contradictions of the patriarchy will result in uprising. Her goal is to create a paradigm shift in human behavior by establishing a state ruled by women that allows them full opportunity which will then lead to a worldwide revolution.

The battle cry: Women of the world, unite. Hear us roar.
