Hiratsuka Raichō, born on this day in 1886, was an anarchist writer, journalist, political activist, and pioneering Japanese feminist. Her efforts helped legalize Japanese women joining political organizations in 1922.

Upon graduating from university, Hiratsuka founded Japan's first all-women literary magazine, Seitō (青鞜, literally "Bluestocking"), in 1911.

Hiratsuka began the first issue with the words, "In the beginning, woman was the sun", a reference to the Shinto goddess Amaterasu, and to the spiritual independence which women had lost. Adopting the pen name "Raichō" ("Thunderbird"), she began to call for a women's spiritual revolution.

Hiratsuka also founded the New Women's Association with fellow women's rights activist Ichikawa Fusae. It was largely through this group's efforts that the Article 5 of the Police Security Regulations, which barred women from joining political organizations and holding or attending political meetings, was overturned in 1922.

Every day is one day closer to the victory of the oppressed peoples of the world over this monstrous system.

I don't see that in the world I am living in.

Given the linear nature of time it's quite literally impossible for it not to be the case shrug-outta-hecks This garbage isn't gonna last forever, and the end is never getting farther away. All we have a say about is what we do about it and how we can contribute to it.

This garbage might very well last longer than this planet can.

Yeah that's true, certainly the biggest limit to the strict revolutionary optimism I normally attempt to adhere to, but even in the darkest night should the stars also die out? Total ecological collapse will probably spell extinction, but I don't think that it's a 100% guaranteed fact that every last human is destined to die; and as long as there's someone, I think it's the duty of everyone who understands the task at hand to make sure the workers and colonized people of the future are well armed and well positioned to kill the beast.
