by MC5 and PC5 On September 23rd, a Las Vegas womyn named Sylvia Ewing bought a baseball bat and killed her 8-year-old son and 4- year-old daughter before jumping in front of a tractor-trailer. Originally, authorities did not release many details,(2) but on October 9th a court sent her to a mental health institution as unfit for trial. She had been witnessed saying “Jesus is coming” and her suicide note said, “Jesus loves the kids. . . Jesus is coming soon.” A psychiatrist said she heard commands in her head from Jesus.(3) On July 10th, 2000 a mother drove herself and her three children off a bridge into the Missouri River, killing all four people. She left a suicide note citing problems in her failing marriage. This Christian bitch also cited God in the suicide note: “Your children will be in God’s hands now.”(4) This October also, at Texas A&M Commerce (a university), students are putting on a play(5) about Andrea Yates’ drowning of her five children ages 2 to 7. She also appeared as a “good Christian” in Houston, Texas.(6) “A psychiatrist testified . . . that Andrea Yates believed she was saving her five children from an eternity in hell when she drowned them in her bathtub”(7)—to which MIM says if it’s true, then execute Yates and her pastor. People allowed to exploit the Satan image for money—whether through exorcisms, fiction (religious) books or TV need to be censored by hardline socialist censors so that the intelligence of people like Andrea Yates will improve. In 1994, in a famous case, Susan Smith rolled her car into a lake to kill her two sons aged 3 and 14 months. When the children were missing, she blamed Black men who supposedly kidnapped her kids. She wanted to be rid of the kids to join a new well-off extramarital lover. In other words, this is a crime of what MIM calls the gender aristocracy putting its leisure life above the life of children. We condemn this view of children as property for the entertainment (including religious) of their parents. It arises because the state takes too small a role in fostering community involvement in child-care. Instead Amerikkkan culture glorifies its settler past where every family unit stole its own piece of land and saw to its own economic livelihood. Socialism has more cooperative economics and moderates the individualism of the past. All who say children should not have a choice to be atheist or disagree with their parents’ religion are also to blame for this stupid fatalist outcome. If one mother wants to meet God sooner than natural, OK, but a secular state backed by a communist movement must interfere so that all are clear that children have their own lives apart from being playthings of parents. These incidents are also proof of MIM’s line that it is adults generally in imperialist countries—not just men—who are gender oppressors.(8) The word “patriarchy” includes the ownership of children fostered in class society. There is a growing awareness of the line pointed out in MIM Theory2/3 that gender oppression is not just based on differences in genitalia but on their development through age. For example, Elizabeth Fox-Genovese has brought the following to the public in a popular paperback book: “More often than not, feminists advance statistics about violence against women to promote a perception of women as the bloodied victims of men’s war of conquest against them. . . . Scholars claim women and men now engage in domestic violence in about equal numbers. . . and although men are more likely than women to molest children, women commit more than half of all child murders.”(9) Most people in the world would consider themselves lucky to raise their children in Amerikkka. The crime of killing children when their living standard would be high even on welfare or in a foster home is peculiarly Amerikkkan—a hellish brew of religious fatalism and individualism. The people opposing public daycare for the poor and a generally enlarged social role in the raising of children are responsible for these horrific murders that degrade the whole U.$. culture. Mothers should see both ideologically and practically that they are only one facet of a child’s life. The sooner that comes true, the sooner these murders will stop.
