Silvia Federici in Caliban and the Witch, after untangle the history around the transition to capitalism, argues that the violence of the late middle ages was not unique that time period. Instead she argues that capitalism inherently requires the exploitation of women, colonization, and, in general, coercive violence. Do you agree with her critical statements on capitalism? Does it hold true for today as well? Why or why not?
In answering this question make sure to discuss three things: first, explain her understanding of the transition from Feudalism to Capitalism; Second, explore why, to her, violence against women was central to this transition; and three, discuss the role that slavery and colonization played in the transition as well. In addition to exploring her historical claim make sure to talk about her broader criticism of capitalism and apply it to modern day politics.
