As opposed to the disappearance of poverty in economic systems in which ownership is collective? “What goes unnoted is the necessity for poverty in an economic system in which wealth is held and controlled by the few.”

We were assigned to read “The Common Elements of Oppressions” — a chapter in Pharr’s book, Hetersexism: A weapon of homophobia. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the chapter and hoped to put it on my blog. I did quite a few Google searches and could not find an electronic copy of the chapter. I had found Suzanne’s website and decided to send her an email to see if she had an electronic copy.

The curious thing about lack of prior claim is that it is simply the circumstances of the moment that put the original people there in every case, yet when those who were initially excluded begin asking for or demanding inclusion, they are seen as disruptive people, as trouble-makers, as no doubt anti-American. We still recall the verbal and physical violence against women who participated in the Suffrage Movement and the black men and women who formed the Civil Rights Movement. For simply asking for one’s due, one was vilified and abused. This is an effective technique, making those struggling for their rights the ones in the wrong. Popular movements are invalidated and minimized, their participants cast as enemies of the people, and social change is obstructed by those holding power who cast themselves as defenders of tradition and order.
