The case of former Spanish deputy Íñigo Errejón is reminiscent of that of former presidents Alberto Fernández and Evo Morales. Also that of other socialists who embody the eternal contradiction between theory and praxis, especially when relating to their party colleagues.
It is not the first time that the self-proclaimed allies of the third wave of feminism show their true colors. It won’t be the last either. Here in Peru, the list of those denounced by the Me Too movement covers a wide range of individuals, but some members of the Socialist Party, militants of Nuevo Perú and even supporters of Peru Libre stand out for their double discourse.
Contradiction is intrinsic to ideology. Feminists have found in Marx so many quotes in favor of and against his gender agenda. The truth is that even the ‘feminism’ of really existing socialism is a liberation of women that, simultaneously, subjects them to the dictatorship of the proletariat. We saw it here with the women leaders of Sendero Luminoso. For this reason, the heroines of the USSR operated spaceships, tanks, factories and AKM rifles, but always under the orders of the all-powerful Soviet State. Abortion itself, decreed by the USSR in 1920, had more demographic than feminist purposes.
But it is not necessary to go that far. It is not that the thought of the deconstructed ‘allies’ of feminism is immersed in its own materialist dialectic or that the struggle of opposites that is debated within the socialist ‘new man’ will resolve its own contradictions through more Marxism, as its confused people say. defenders. It is simple hypocrisy and false moral superiority.
