Swedish Gender War

The feminist activists in this Swedish documentary believe the world is in the midst of a gender war. They view it as a class struggle between male and female and use many phrases from Marx's language of dialectical materialism.

The activist take many wrong turns in this video, including kidnapping two young girls, but this frame catches the core of their error.

They believe that men are biologically disposed to use violence against women. They believe that men do not care if their sex partners are willing and would rape if they could avoid being caught.

While they are trying to change social norms in women and spend a lot of effort doing so, they think men's choices are made by their chromosomes and law enforcement agencies.

Although they are trying to help girls understand the problems they have written boys of as a lost cause.

In this frame Eva Lundgren says that men are universally aroused by control of life and death over women. She portrays men as unthinking thugs driven by power-lust.


Here is the documentary on youtube.com.

This is an invaluable resource for those of you with friends who say Nazism had nothing to do with Socialism. It contains quotes from speeches, pamphlets, and directives.

Stephen Hicks, Ph.D. » Nietzsche and the Nazis

Stephen Hicks does a bang up job of detailing why deep study of the Nazi episode is so important. Then he initiates the deep study.
He draws direct relationships between Neitzschean ideas and Nazi Party speeches and publications.
The Nazis didn't get Neitzsche right, but which political students of philosophers do?
