The fall of the Berlin Wall, the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the ensuing wars, the confirmation of news about the massive killings in Cambodia, the shift in policies in China and later on even in Vietnam that subsumed these economic systems into the dominant capitalist system in the world. The decade of the '80s was a period of reckoning for Left governments, parties and movements the world over. Along with many comrades, I felt a frustration for being robbed of the birthing of Philippine democracy. The low period for the Philippine Left can be likened to a woman's miscarriage. For the Philippine Left, this year marked a political defeat as Cory Aquino's yellow camp and the Ramos and Enrile factions of the military got hold of the reins of power. A fast-track process of convergences and alliances that caused the fall of the Marcos dictatorship characterised Philippine politics at this time. Now after a protracted process of opening up to change, I consider myself a new feminist, in the way that I now understand feminism. For a long time, I was imprisoned in a closed worldview and was slow to grasp and adjust to new ideas.

Perhaps, this is because my old views and attitudes prevented me from accessing new theoretical materials. I got hold of Patriarchy and Accumulation on a World Scale only in 1995, almost ten years after it was pub-lished.
