The author of this web page compares Marxism to Radical Feminism, and eventually combines the two into Marxist Feminism. Radical Feminism, like Marxism, is defined as a conflict theory in that the relationship between the two sexes in our society is one of inequality and oppression. Both radical feminists and Marxists focus on a power struggle between the oppressed and the elite within our society, and both seek revolutionary change. Marxists believe that the oppression of the masses comes from any form of social control placed on the oppressed by the capitolist elite.
