The witch-hunt, as well as the slave trade and the conquest of America, were essential elements to establish the modern capitalist system, since they changed in a decisive way the social relations and the foundations of the social reproduction.
In the words of Silvia Federici “two centuries of executions and tortures that condemned thousands of women to an atrocious death were liquidated by History as a product of ignorance or something belonging to folklore (…) The witch-hunt, as well as the slave trade and the conquest of America, was an essential element to establish the modern capitalist system, since it changed in a decisive way the social relations and the foundations of the social reproduction, beginning with the relations between women and men and women and state”
The spirits of those women are alive in our hearts and in our daily fight against this oppressive system we live in.
