yo just reflecting on communist manifesto and ethics of care. one objection to EoC is that it just reinforces and valorizes oppressed values rather than subverting them. But i think a good counter example is how efforts to squeeze more profit out of the working class involved

lessening the distinctions between women and men so that women could do similar labor. then in the CM marx talks about how communism isnt about further ownership and oppression of women but that they should be free. In a way i read this as similar to ethics of care perspective,

that takes a working class perspective where the relationship between men and women have changed, and turned that into something that powerfully subverts the dominant and repressive status quo. i hope im being clear with what comparisons im drawing lol

but yeah i think thats an interesting way of looking at it, that like in the process of one system of oppression seeking to expand its power it can actually undermine the project of another system of oppression. Im sure there have been plenty of others who have written about this
