What should learning the Switzerland of socialism

right off the bat it sounds crazy, the Thesis in the title of a radical. You can so misunderstand, as if trying to pronounce a war verschontes country like Switzerland in the bondage of a Soviet dictatorship, and pretty soon the first Gulags in the bowl, in the valley of Munster and elsewhere, open. But, of course, no one wants an authoritarian terrorist regime brought about.

But, socialism was supposed to be a role model when it comes to the solutions for those problems, recently, in a study of the Federal office for statistics obvious: 70 percent of all women fear, the birth of the first child could be a career killer (you can read about here). If there are children, is taken in two thirds of the local families work in the home, mainly by the wife.

Little is screaming the end of emancipation, suggests that in these statistics to continue. The Federal office's limited possibilities to document numbers rather than just a profession, and family, you can, obviously, only bad agree. So there is in Switzerland a majority of women, whose lives are determined by Fear, traditional roles and economic dependence on men. Because, of course, is in capitalism, only those who earn their own money, or otherwise received. Swiss Housewives are not included.

The women were considered to be essential

Fears and lack of freedom in one of the richest countries in the world That cannot and must not be. Also, if the defunct socialist States holds itself as a mirror. Women were in the former Eastern bloc countries as indispensable, not only as a parturient. Labour, on whose intelligence and productive capacity, you do not want to do without – not least in the sense of the equality ideal, and led to a sustained appreciation of women in society.

the structures of The socialist States made it easier for women to be independent from the men.

In Switzerland it all seems still the case. More than 100 years after the Russian engineer had put the study of law for women at Swiss universities. And although today, more women are leaving than ever before with a degree from the local universities, so very well trained. Differently in the Eastern bloc, where even among the engineers and technology specialists, half of all workers were women. The admirable long-term consequences: From ten European countries with the highest proportion of women in the IT sector, eight are in Eastern Europe.

this finding is Underpinned by the new in German available book with the title "Why women in socialism better Sex". The author of the American Eastern Europe Professor: Kristen R. Ghodsee is. To understand it is as a kind of new Sputnik-shock: a Competition with a hostile System such as socialism, to make it even better (click here to read more about the book by Kristen R. Ghodsee).

The Swiss women more autonomy accord

Even if the failure of the socialist dictatorships renames repeated clearly (about the Gebärzwang in Romania), throbs Ghodsee, however, that the structures of the socialist States made it easier for women to be independent from men, because income and employment was secured.

women in socialist countries were never forced, a marriage of reason or calculus to respond. Therefore they also had better Sex. Because they were Autonomous. And nothing else of capitalism: that we can all lead a self-determined life, if we bring in us productive promises.

It is time that this is also for all Swiss women, the want to, thanks to state nurseries and paternity leave. Or, thanks to a model like once in Bulgaria: the birth of a child, all families received a Budget of 120 days of vacation, which could be obtained by the wife, the husband or the grandparents. Yes, that is, if we want to allow half of the population lives without the previous Fears and dependencies.
