Roots of "pay equity".Regarding Brian T. Farmer's "Politicizing the Pay Gap" article (June 28 issue), there are historical sources for this syndrome of government-imposed gender pay equity. In the instructions found in the personal papers of Illuminist Baron Bassus, 1787, "There is no way of influencing men so powerfully as by means of the women.

In the Communist Manifesto Communist Manifesto Pamphlet written in 1848 by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels to serve as the platform of the Communist League. It argued that industrialization had exacerbated the divide between the capitalist ruling class and the proletariat, which had become , Karl Marx calls for the "abolition of the family." In Das Kapital Noun 1. Das Kapital - a book written by Karl Marx (1867) describing his economic theories Capital , he writes that it is "absurd to hold the Teutonic-Christian form of the family to be absolute and final." The establishment of a socialist society The Socialist Society was founded in 1981 by a group of British socialists, including Raymond Williams and Ralph Miliband, who founded it as an organisation devoted to socialist education and research, linking the left of the British Labour Party with socialists outside it. is put forth as the way to return to the pristine state of the sexes. For this to be achieved, Engels, in The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State, proposes: "[T]he peculiar character of the supremacy of the husband over the wife in the modern family, the necessity of creating real social equality "Equal Rights" redirects here. for the motto, see Equal Rights (motto) Social equality is a social state of affairs in which certain different people have the same status in a certain respect, at the very least in voting rights, freedom of speech and assembly, the extent of between them, and the way to do it, will only be seen in the clear light of day when both possess legally complete equality of rights. Then it will be plain that the first condition for the liberation of the wife is to bring the whole female sex back into the public industry, and that this in turn demands the abolition of the monogamous family as the economic unit of society."

Men and women must receive equal pay for equal work in production. Genuine equality between the sexes can only be realized in the process of socialist transformation of society as a whole." The 1961 Program of the Soviet Communist Party Communist party, in China Communist party, in China, ruling party of the world's most populous nation since 1949 and most important Communist party in the world since the disintegration of the USSR in 1991. stated: "The remnants of the unequal position of women in domestic life must be totally eliminated." Perhaps the most comprehensive statement of the Marxist position was another from the Comintern: "social equality of men and women before the law and in practical life"; "radical transformation in conjugal rights conjugal rights n. a spouse's so-called "rights" to the comforts and companionship from his/her mate, meaning sexual relations. Some states allow prisoners to have "conjugal visits" so that they may have private visits and sexual relations with his/her spouse (or and the family code"; "recognition of maternity as a social function"; "making a social charge of the care of children and adolescents"; and "the organizing of a civilizing struggle against the ideology and traditions that make woman a slave...." Unless Americans understand from whom the gradual, persistent, and stealthily-imposed destruction of the family in America originated--and what organizations have been promulgating this process persistently and continually from behind the scenes for generations without so much as a chirp from the already managed mass media--the problem of the family will get worse, and the impoverishment and enslavement en·slave tr.v. en·slaved, en·slav·ing, en·slaves To make into or as if into a slave. en·slave  ment n. of the American people by a central, socialist government will be complete.
