Anti-capitalism is a common attitude expressed in feminist writings, but in my experience, there's not a lot of detail on how this would be accomplished. The anti-liberal and anti-capitalist attitude expressed by many feminists seems to indicate to me that they wouldn't be receptive to a Scandinavian economic model where capitalism exists alongside many social services.
Anti-capitalist efforts have been tried fairly independently in Cuba, Laos, Vietnam, Albania, the USSR, China, North Korea, and Yugoslavia. How would you evaluate their economic successes and failures? If you don't think their economic models were economically successful, how would you propose - or how have other feminists proposed that - countries should do things differently?
Edit: Also interested in thoughts if they exist about the economic system of peoples like the Amish and of North American native american tribes prior to colonization as alternatives.
It was out last resort.
Except the trade war with China (which is not nearly as existentially threatening) and Russia being friendly with Trump, in nearly four years of Trump administration, North Korea, Iran and Venezuela are basically the ones whose relations with US have teetered to heightened military tensions. Cuba seems to have been the remarkable exception with Trump only issuing travel restrictions to Cuba 1 2 and thereby also, in effect, de facto reimposing some economic sanctions to the country which the Cubans are already accustomed to.
Does Cuba have some sort of leverage to insulate themselves from further American influence, or is Cuba simply out of Trump's immediate concern?
