Various Frameworks of Liberation Exist

It seems that wherever there is oppression there is the basis for yet another framework of liberation. Women are oppressed so we end up with a women's liberation or feminist movement and a whole critique of and struggle against patriarchy. Workers are oppressed and so we have seen various expressions of workers' efforts to liberate themselves whether we are talking about trade unionism, class solidarity, the socialist, communist and anarchist movements. Some might even include the fascist movements or exclude the communist ones. Then there are various forms of national oppression and each seems to develop its own response. African-Americans have a host of movements ranging from the civil rights groups to revolutionary and not-so-revoutionary nationalists. With LGBT there is also a great diversity of movements ranging from successful efforts to fund and treat HIV disease but also a panoply of liberation struggles reflecting the condition of lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals respectively.

Of course this by no means exhausts the causes of liberation that exist in the world today. Even making a list is real work.
Considering the ideologies and struggles of each sector is a
daunting but attractive mountain peak of understanding.
