Dolores Cacuango, also known as Mamá Doloreyuk, was a leader in the fight for indigenous rights in Ecuador born on this day in 1881. She was active in the Glorious May Revolution of 1944 and co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI).
Cacuango was born to enslaved people in San Pablourco who worked the Pesillo Hacienda near Cayambe without being paid. She had no access to education due to her lack of resources, and learned Spanish while working as a housemaid.
In 1930, Cacuango was among the leaders of the historic workers' strike at the Pesillo hacienda in Cayambe, which was a milestone for indigenous and peasant rights. During the Glorious May Revolution in Ecuador, Cacuango personally led an assault on a government military base.
The same year, with the help of Ecuador's Communist Party, Cacuango co-founded the Indigenous Federation of Ecuador (FEI), an early group in the fight for indigenous rights. She also helped establish some of the first bilingual indigenous schools.

Theory:
Maybe you misunderstood, I don't mean "If a man and a woman are in a room, the man will inevitably be tempted to dominate the woman", but I do think that it's inevitable that it'll happen somewhere at some point.
And yes, when a man uses his individual power over a woman to make her do household chores while he watches football, that is not "fascism". But misogyny, racism, any kind of bigotry and oppression are inexorably linked to fascism in that they are all about dominating and abusing the weak.
I'm not saying that it's fascism when a 10th grade schoolyard bully demands a skinny 5th grader give him his lunch money or he'll beat him up, nor that if a schoolyard bully does that it means he'll inevitably grow up to be a Nazi. What I am saying is that fascism isn't an ideology that was thought up by some guy at some point and every fascist since has based their world view on that one guy's ideas, but rather that it is the systemic implementation of a fundamental way humans can think and act. It is about abusing power to dominate the weak, the use of force to defend ones place in a hierarchy, to take from those least capable of defending themselves.
Fascism can be defeated, systemic oppression and bigotry can be overcome. But my point is that they'll never be gone "for good", that there will always be someone, somewhere giving in to the temptation of abusing the power they've been given for their personal benefit, and as long as people are capable of that, people are capable of fascism. It can never be truly eradicated because it stems from the worst parts of human nature.
no i caught your meaning, i genuinely disagree with "inevitable that it'll happen somewhere at some point" though. physical 'superiority' of males is a social phenomenon, and if nothing else a big fit person becoming a bully under communism will be a non-gendered problem
kinda was, though. the specific application to conditions of different countries has varied, but no more than socialist theory gets modified to material conditions. the lack of 'one theory guy' akin to Marx is because fascism is nationalistic, communism being international lets us all share ideas, but fascist attempts to draw from different wells or cooperate with each other fall pretty flat due to the obvious contradictions. but that doesn't mean fascists don't share specific characteristics across all their movements that are identifiable and firmly lodged in the capitalist epoch. i find it difficult to imagine fascists' ideological drive toward class collaborationism and putting down labor unrest being a relevant idea in a classless society. i'd argue you've substituted the term fascism for a general idea of injustice, the end of which is a much more philosophical question than fascism specifically
Could be
I'm definitely going by a very vague, more abstract definition for the term than you are.
I'm not trying to argue, I genuinely don't understand this. Are AMAB people not generally physically stronger than AFAB people?
differences in 10-20% in strength/height are relatively minute and almost all research has been conducted in milennia old patriarchal social structures. subjectively, socialist nations' women tend to be regarded as stronger, just after decades and 1/2 generations of imperfect equality. it's my belief that a couple centuries of gender equality would actually flatten these out
