How can we be sure the oppressed do not become oppressors in their
turn? How can we create a feminism that doesn't turn into yet another
tool for oppression? It has become commonplace to argue that, in order
to fight the subjugation of women, we have to unpack the ways
different forms of oppression intersect with one another: class, race,
gender, sexuality, disability, and ecology, to name only a few. By
arguing that there is no single factor, or arche, explaining the
oppression of women, Chiara Bottici proposes a radical anarchafeminist
philosophy inspired by two major claims: that there is something
specific to the oppression of women, and that, in order to fight that,
we need to untangle all other forms of oppression and the
anthropocentrism they inhabit. Anarchism needs feminism to address the
continued subordination of all femina, but feminism needs anarchism if
it does not want to become the privilege of a few. Anarchafeminism
calls for a decolonial and deimperial position and for a renewed
awareness of the somatic communism connecting all different life forms
on the planet. In this new revolutionary vision, feminism does not
mean the liberation of the lucky few, but liberation for all living
creatures from both capitalist exploitation and an androcentric
politics of domination. Either all or none of us will be free.
