Interwar Communist women’s activism for the socialization of housework and care, argues Daria Dyakonova, offered a powerful vision of what we now know as intersectionality and reproductive justice
Small factual note on one contextual sentence (not the archival core of the piece, which is excellent): China's was a bourgeois nationalist party's betrayal of the united front (btw, Comintern had earlier advised the CCP to join up with the KMT), the author's own earlier phrase, "ending the united front with non-communist forces," fits this better than "the moderate left turned its back." Britain's severance of ties with the USSR was a Conservative government action under Baldwin, not a reformist one either. And the 1927 Vienna general strike was called by the SDAPÖ and Trade Union Council itself (arguably to restrain workers), not ignored by them after a communist call.
You are right, Nina! A few phrases in this paragraph got mixed up somehow and I did not notice it in the final read! What I meant is that the various developments of 1926-1928 seemed to confirm the Comintern's analysis (like sharper contradictions and increased hostility towards Communists on the part of different political forces, including those with which the Cominternt collaborated in 1921-28, during the UF era). The point on Austian SD is badly formulated in my text: they opposed more radical action, that the KPÖ called for. Thanks for pointing out.
