The SCUM Manifesto is a document of profound vulnerability, written in a voice of profound empowerment. In this edition, philosopher Avital Ronell’s introduction reconsiders the evocative exuberance of this infamous text. In fact, the work has proved prescient, not only as a radical feminist analysis light years ahead of its time-predicting artificial insemination, ATMs, a feminist uprising against underrepresentation in the arts-but also as a stunning testament to the rage of an abused and destitute woman. But for all its vitriol, it is impossible to dismiss as the mere rantings of a lesbian lunatic. Valerie Solanas, the woman who shot Andy Warhol, self-published the book just before she became a notorious household name and was confined to a mental institution. Outrageous and violent, SCUM Manifesto was widely lambasted when it first appeared in 1968. “Life in this society being, at best, an utter bore and no aspect of society being at all relevant to women, there remains to civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females only to overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and destroy the male sex.”

Marx organized the International and helped found the Social Democratic Party of Germany. His Das Kapital came out in three volumes (1867, 18).

He and Engels founded the Communist League in 1847 and published the Communist Manifesto.

His father, born Jewish, converted to Protestantism shortly before Karl's birth in response to a prohibition newly introduced into the Rhineland by the Prussian Kingdom on Jews practicing law.

Your experience of caring is likely to have a strong influence over your present situation. If this is the case, you can choose to focus on areas of your life that you’re happy to spend time thinking about. We learn from good and bad experiences and the ups and downs of life, but some people may have had extreme events in their life that would be distressing to revisit.
