	The Workers Opposition -Kollantai (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Alexandra Kollontai's text The Workers 'Opposition was written in Russian, during the early weeks of 1921.
		Kollontai's text, an admirable blend of seriousness and sarcasm, of analysis and involvement, of clarity and passion, is probably the liveliest and most interesting document showing that, even among leading Bolsheviks and as early as 1920, i.e.
		Kollontai's analysis is very similar to (in fact, it is probably one of the sources of) the later theories attributing the degeneration of the Party to unavoidable factors like the backwardness of Russia, the small relative size of the working class, and the Civil War.

	Kollantai's marxism
		Given the prevalence of such distorted pictures of Kollontai it is important to seriously assess her strengths, and weaknesses, of her contribution to the development of the Marxist programme for the emancipation of women.
		Although Kollontai was not involved directly in the development of Rabotnitsa, she continued to elaborate her own ideas on the basis of the experience of the German and Russian women’s movements.
		Kollontai’s failure to convince either the Bolsheviks or the Mensheviks of the need for a special party structure to carry out this work; reflected her isolation from the leaderships of both factions.

		Kollontai expanded on this, to say that women's position in society, and their subordination to men is completely based on their part in the economy.
		Kollontai exemplifies this with agrarian communities in Africa where women are the main contributors to the tribal economy, and where they hence have more political power than the men do.
		Kollontai claims that women have the important task of giving birth to "new workers" - but that the children should be taken care of by the state at kindergartens, day-care centres and the like.

	Alexandra Kollontai\|26Nov05\|Socialist Worker
		Though some of Kollontai’s writing is nearly 100 years old, it feels very fresh when read today. Her political pamphlets such as The Social Basis of the Woman Question, and Sexual Relations and the Class Struggle are critical in developing an understanding that women’s oppression is a product of the role of the family in capitalism.
		Kollontai always campaigned to bring women into the centre of the struggle. Yet she always linked this attempt to engage women workers with building the struggle itself.
		Kollontai envisaged that a new morality could develop from the revolution, “a morality which helps to re-educate the personality of man enabling him to be capable of positive feeling, capable of freedom instead of being bound by a sense of property, capable of comradeship rather than inequality and submission”.

		Many ideas expressed in her works were branded as libertine both in the Soviet Union and the West, yet Kollontai helped to expand the concept of "women's issues." She considered family, sex and sexuality, and personal politics as important to the betterment of women's status and role in society as the right to vote.

		After he came to power, Josef Stalin removed nearly all Old Bolsheviks from power during the Great Purges of the 1930's.
		Most, if not all, were executed for treason after show-trials, others - sent to labor camps, and a few lucky, you could say, (e.g., Alexandra Kollontai) were sent abroad as "ambassadors", effectively preventing them from participating in the central government of Russia.
		Some people got even "luckier" and was shipped off to a remote part of the great homeland of Russia and could still be there aslong as they only participated in that Soviet.
