#MarxismAndPeriodPains… a film by Montsho The Black @MmabathoMontsho 🔥🔥 Interestingly, the concept of time plays a key role in Marx’s Labour Theory of Value. In a capitalist society, time is indeed money. For many women the period of time spent at work, gets stolen by period pains, which have yet to be acknowledged in conventional labour law and many medial circles as true and justified pain! Women are forced to live with it or normalise it as unworthy! This film is a must see!
