According to his vague assurance, "if … communist society finds itself obligated to regulate the production of human beings, just as it does the production of things, it will be precisely this society and this society alone which can carry this out without difficulty" (Engels 1881, p. The German socialist Friedrich Engels (1820–1895) was only slightly more forthcoming. However, Marx was completely Delphic about the purported "special laws of population" that he foresaw for socialist and communist society. Malthus (1766–1834) and his demographic theories, calling him "a shameless sycophant of the ruling classes" (Marx 1953, p. The German political philosopher Karl Marx (1818–1883) railed against the English economist T. Communist Ideology and Its Bearing on Population Policyĭespite their prolixity, the founding theoreticians of Communism offered little concrete guidance to their adherents regarding population affairs. The encompassed populations represented a remarkable variety of cultures, ethnicities, levels of material attainment, and demographic structures. At that apogee, over a third of humanity lived under regimes that professed the "communist" intent. In 1980, the world's 17 established Marxist-Leninist states presided over roughly 1.5 billion persons (out of a total world population of approximately 4.4 billion). Communist power was initially established over the Russian Empire (renamed the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, also known as the " Soviet Union") through the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917 over the following seven decades, war and revolution brought many more populations under Communist sway.Īt its zenith–a decade or so before the 1989–1991 collapse of Eastern European socialism and of the Soviet Union–the reach of Communist-style governments stretched across Eurasia from Berlin and Prague to Vladivostok and Shanghai, and from the frozen Siberian tundra down to Indochina additional Communist outposts could be found in the New World (Cuba) and in sub-Saharan Africa (Ethiopia). Armed with a utopian but atheist ideology and with powerful, far-reaching state apparatuses built to actualize their official ideals, Communist governments were expressly committed to upending existing earthly economic and political arrangements and constructing in their stead a socialized paradise–that is, "communism"–free from the injustice, alienation, and exploitation that humanity had heretofore suffered under "capitalism" and all other previous historical orders.Ĭommunist governance was distinguished by the absolute and unchallenged primacy of a ruling Marxist-Leninist party, state ownership of major national industries and other critical "means of production," and a command-style system of "central economic planning" through which political decisions (rather than market forces) allocated goods and services within the national economy. Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 10 responses to interview Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 87 responses to interview The female resume got 870% more responses.Communist rule was the twentieth century's most dramatic, distinctive, and fateful political innovation.
Sometimes the male went first, sometimes the female went first. Made a fake resume, and responded to craigslist ads with both male and female names. So then I thought "what about someone looking for working class jobs?" So I decided to focus on restaurants- servers, hosting, etc. Out of 100, my applications with a female name got 45 responses to interview The female resume was 650% more likely to get a callback. Out of 100, my applications with a male name got 7 responses for interview. I'd send it out with my real name, then a few days later (or few days before) with a female name.
So I took my CV and changed the name to a female name.
It's MUCH better being a woman So I did an experiment, I work in CS and decided to test what the gender bias is. 29.6K 1.3K sent 100 applications as a man and a woman.
