ABSTRACT

This conclusion presents some closing thoughts covered in the preceding chapter of this book. The book presents the '60s was a period in which waves of ferment washed up on shores across the world. Yet, political, ideological, and strategic errors on the part of their enthusiasts also contributed to capitalism's survival, and, ipso facto, the survival of the family. while others such as Dany Cohn-Bendit and Joschka Fischer opted for the paper-shuffling of elite party politics. In fact, it is clear from the above evidence that the contemporary Russian state's offensive against 'non-procreation' relationships has no basis in the October revolution. The theories of Jenny Marx and Engels, who, as It have seen, were strongly opposed to the bourgeois family, heavily influenced Bolshevik party practice. There remains a feminist movement of sorts but, as Burgmann argues, the Women's Liberation Movement, which stood for the emancipation of women as well as oppressed classes, races, and sexualities everywhere, no longer exists.
