Silvia Federicibio:
Picking up themes developed within the Wages for Housework movement during the 1970s and expanded by members of the Midnight Notes Collective, she outlines the historical fight for the commons and the struggle for communalism. Instead of seeing capitalism as being a libratory defeat of feudalism, Federici interprets the rise of capitalism as a reactionary move to subvert the rising tide of communalism and to retain the basic social contract. She places the institutionalization of rape and prostitution, as well as the heretic and witch hunt, trials, burnings and torture at the center of a methodical subjugation of women and appropriation of their labor.
